I have manually setup a conditional in the block editor. The conditional I have written is as follows:

  ( ( '[types usermeta="offer-date"][/types]' gte TODAY() ) )

When a date is set regardless of if its in the future or past the content shows up.

I enabled debug.

####################
wpv-conditional attributes
####################
Array
(
    [if] =>   ( ( '18th February 2021' >= TODAY() ) ) 
    [debug] => true
)

####################
Debug information
####################
--------------------
Original expression:   ( ( '18th February 2021' >= TODAY() ) ) 
--------------------

What I am attempting to do is hide the content if the date from field "offer-date" is in the past.

Thanks.

Hi,

The date comparisons like TODAY() require the value to be in the Unix timestamp format. For this reason, including the attribute output="raw" fixes this:


( ( '[types usermeta="offer-date" output="raw"][/types]' gte TODAY() ) )

regards,
Waqar
