I am trying to: Get a start-date and end-date field to display correctly in a PHP template.
This was working and I was using:
<?php echo (types_render_field( 'start-date', array() ));?> - <?php echo (types_render_field( 'end-date', array() ));?> where start-date is the name of the start date custom field and end-date was the custom field for end date custom field.
I have no idea why this would suddenly change.
I checked out this post on the support forum:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/displaying-date-field-information-in-php-template-file/
and see that the code was slightly different so I tweaked my code to:
<?php echo types_render_field( 'start-date', array('format'=>"M d") );?> - <?php echo types_render_field( 'end-date', array('format'=>"M d") );?></p>
But it still doesn't work. You can see this specifically on the archive-workshops.php file on line 16.
The site is password protected so if you open a private message I can give you access.
In the meantime see my attached screengrab - the dates should appear in the green strip with the calendar icon.
Thanks for your support!
