 * Great plugin. When you set the posts to be a certain category, is there a way
   to add more filtering to the posts that show? I have a start and end date ACF
   field and I would like to only show the posts within those 2 dates. I can do 
   this in the Post Widget in Query code but I don’t see where I can add this in
   Smart Slider 3. Do I need the Pro version?

 * Hi [@lestexas60](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lestexas60/)!
 * Yes, I’m sorry, but only the Pro version has an option for this. In there you
   can create a Custom Posts generator:
    [https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1900-wordpress-custom-posts-generator](https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1900-wordpress-custom-posts-generator)
   where regular WordPress Posts could be selected too. It has more options, like
   the Meta data based filtering: [https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1900-wordpress-custom-posts-generator#post-meta-comparison](https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1900-wordpress-custom-posts-generator#post-meta-comparison)(
   ACF stores datas as meta datas.) You can also use date based keywords: [https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1900-wordpress-custom-posts-generator#keywords](https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1900-wordpress-custom-posts-generator#keywords)
   to compare with them. For example only show posts, where “meta_start_date” is
   smaller, than “current_date”, also “meta_end_date” is bigger than “current_date”.
 * There are 3 things I would like to tell about this:
    1. Meta datas are quite 
   a complex matter, and I cannot say for a 100% certainty, that this will work 
   out. For example if the meta data is stored differently, like its not the date,
   but some other value is stored that should be processed to get the date, that
   couldn’t work out. We have a 2 week refund policy, so in this case you could 
   ask for your money back. 2. If it won’t work out, but you really want to make
   it work anyway, you can create your own generator: [https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1957-creating-a-custom-generator](https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1957-creating-a-custom-generator)
   also in the Pro version. 3. This forum’s rules don’t allow the Pro version to
   be supported here, only the Free, so if you would have further questions, please
   rather contact us through our support form: [https://smartslider3.com/contact-us/support/](https://smartslider3.com/contact-us/support/)
