[Resolved] Frontend filter by post date of views

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
I am trying to create a view where users can filter using BETWEEN in the dates.
Solution:
- You can make custom date field for parametric search and that field needs to be updated when post will be published/updated.
You may use following function/hook for it:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/save_post
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/update_post_meta

- You can add static dropdown in parametric search for months/years and then add date filter to get required results. Here is related ticket and doc:
