Tell us what you are trying to do?
create Elementor custom query:
I have custom posts type: event
I have a custom field: event-date

this is the query I tried:

add_action( 'elementor_pro/posts/query/upcoming', function( $query ){
$query->set('post_type', 'event');
$today = Date('Y-m-d');
$query->set('meta_query', array(
'start_date' => array(
'key' => 'wpcf-event-date',
'value' => $today,
'compare' => '>=',
)
));
$query->set('orderby', array('start_date'=>'ASC'));
} );

What is the link to your site?

Hi Barak,

Thank you for getting in touch.

The issue here is that the date field is stored as a timestamp. You function is passing the date into the query as a calendar date which won't work.

What you need to do is convert that date to a timestamp using the strtotime() function.

This should allow you to convert your date variable and allow the filter to work as intended.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Barak,

Sure the correct code would be.

add_action( 'elementor_pro/posts/query/upcoming', function( $query ){
$query->set('post_type', 'event');
$today = Date('Y-m-d');
$query->set('meta_query', array(
'start_date' => array(
'key' => 'wpcf-event-date',
'value' => strtotime($today),
'compare' => '>=',
)
));
$query->set('orderby', array('start_date'=>'ASC'));
} );

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
