Based on https://toolset.com/forums/topic/wp-if-compare-with-a-date/ I made a shortcode and I want to use it in the View. However, I can not write wpv-conditional for "cred-post-expiration".
My shortcode:

function get_today_date() {
    return strtotime("1 day");
}
add_shortcode( 'today_date', 'get_today_date' );

Wpv-conditional example i want to get:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[cred-post-expiration]' lt '[today_date]' )"]......[/wpv-conditional]

I will be grateful for your help. I can not find a similar solution.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well- CRED post expiration time is saved to postmeta key '_cred_post_expiration_time'.

So,

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-field name="_cred_post_expiration_time"]' lt '[today_date]' )"]
your content
[/wpv-conditional]

Could you please try above conditional statement and try to resolve your issuel.

Can I have problem URL and temporary access details?

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Well - I changed the shortcode as given under for 1day check.

function get_today_date() {
global $post;

  $expiration_time = get_post_meta($post->ID,'_cred_post_expiration_time',true);
  $expiration_time =  $expiration_time -  (24*60*60);
  if($expiration_time < time() ){ 
    return 1;
  }else{
    return 0;
  }
}
add_shortcode( 'today_date', 'get_today_date' );

And - within your view used as give under:

<div class="ob-item-date [wpv-conditional if="( '[today_date]' eq '1' )"]expiration-alert[/wpv-conditional]">
		  Zakończenie: <span>[cred-post-expiration format="d.m.y"]</span>
		</div>

If you can check this post - its working:

It works as I expected.
Thank you.

Please explain me one more thing: how does the Toolset -> Settings -> Forms -> "Check for expired content:" ?
I set the message for the end of the post display period to 1 day before the automatic expiration date. Post was added on 20.06.2017 07:15 AM. Its display period ends on 20.07.2017 07:15 AM.
If I set the "Check for expired content:" field to "1 day", will the message of the end of the display period be sent on 19.07.2017 07:15 AM or 20.07.2017 00:00 AM?
I want it to be mailed 24 hours before the end, not on the end date of posting.
Can it be better to set "Check for expired content:" as "1 hour"? ...

Well - as you can see the code:

 $expiration_time = get_post_meta($post->ID,'_cred_post_expiration_time',true);
  $expiration_time =  $expiration_time -  (24*60*60);
  if($expiration_time < time() ){ 
    return 1;
  }

What we have done is we deducted 1 day time from $expiration_time that means it will show notice before 1 day of expiration time.
