Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have an entry form which creates a post. Entries close on January 31.
Is there a way to automatically close the form on Feb 1st and have a message saying 'Entries Closed'

It's an Edit Post Form which then goes to Woocommerce for payment.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To achieve this, you can use the UNIX timestamp value of the date 'Feb 1st' ( 1706745600 ), in conditional statements:
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/legacy-features/views-plugin/conditional-html-output-in-views/ )

For example:

[wpv-conditional if="( 'NOW()' gt '1706745600' )"]
  Form entries are now closed!
[/wpv-conditional]
  
[wpv-conditional if="( 'NOW()' lt '1706745600' )"]
  [cred_form form="Form name"]
[/wpv-conditional]

The first conditional block will show the message 'Form entries are now closed!' if the current date/time value is greater than that of February 1st.

The second one will show the form if the current date/time value is lower than that of February 1st.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need further assistance.

regards,
Waqar
