How to Show Future Events in Bricks

One of the common requirements in WordPress is being able to filter the events (or could be posts of any post type) to only those that are set to occur in the future via a custom fields plugin like ACF.

Here’s how future or upcoming events can be shown when using Bricks Builder.

Whether you are using the Posts element or the Query Loop feature, click the query (loop) icon and add a META QUERY like this:

where event_date is the name (when using ACF)/ID (when using Meta Box) of the date-type of custom field.

Meta value can be set to either


{current_date:Ymd}

view raw

gistfile1.txt

hosted with ❤ by GitHub

or


{echo:date(Ymd)}

view raw

gistfile1.txt

hosted with ❤ by GitHub

The Display and Return Formats for the field do not matter and can be set to any or left at their defaults.
