 * Hello
 * I am trying to short and show posts with meta key and meta value.
 * The code that i have is
 *     ```
       'post_type'		=> 'post', 
       	'post_status' => 'publish',
       	'meta_key'		=> 'custom_field',
       	'meta_value'		=> date('Y-m-d'),
       	'orderby'		=> 'meta_compare',
       	'order'			=> 'DSC'
       ```
   
 * How can i set this value on widget
 * `'meta_value' => date('Y-m-d'),`
 * Thank you

 * Hello,
    currently you can use only a string (i.e., the value of a custom taxonomy).
 * I’m developing a new feature to get posts from complex queries based on meta 
   keys and values.
 * Stay tuned.
