Topic Tag: Setting up custom fields

Problem:
The user was using a feature in the Oxygen builder to get custom fields. The date field was displayed as numbers.

Solution:
Toolset stores the date field as a timestamp, the total number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (01/01/1970)

So, In the query filter, you should use "meta_type=NUMBER" instead of "meta_type=DATE". This will solve the sorting issues if they appear. Screenshot; Screenshot 2021-04-03 at 16.03.20.png

Regarding the display of the date, you need to check with the Oxygen support team how to format a timestamp into a date string, or you need to use Types shortcodes instead of the "oxygen shortcode".
