    Hi there,

    I use CPT ‘specials’ with a custom field ‘special-end’ (date)

    I make a query to display these posts

    
$args = array(
		'post_type' => 'specials', 
		'orderby' => 'special-end',
		'order' => 'ASC',
		'posts_per_page'=> '12',  
	);

    But how could i only get posts where ‘special-end’ is greater than today ?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello,

    I think you can get the date range posts using date query.

    Thanks,

    Hi TD and thanks.
    I read some posts about date query but i don’t think it’s what i need. date query works with the post creation date ou revision date.
    I want filter my posts using a custom field.

    Finally simply works like this

    
	$args = array(
    	'post_type' => 'promotion',
		'meta_key' => 'fin-promo',
		'meta_value' => date('Ymd'),
		'meta_compare' => '>',
		'orderby' => 'fin-promo',
		'order' => 'ASC'
	);

    I create my field fin-promo with ACF and the internal format is dmY.
    Hope this can help someone.
