Tell us what you are trying to do? I have a custom field as typ of date and multiple instances are able to use.

Now I like to show futured dates - from the current dates on - each date on one line...

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

hidden link - under "TourDates"

Right now it just shows me: 18. January 2021, 15. January 2021, 17. February 2021, 25. February 2021

My code is like this - I just should compare the current date with all the dates - and showing only those are in the future.

function get_featured_dates() {

global $post;
$str = '';
$tourdates = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpcf-start-tour-date', false);
$alltourdates = count($tourdates);
$mycounter = 0;
while ($mycounter < $alltourdates)
{
$myresults = date( 'd. F Y', $tourdates[$mycounter]);
$mycounter++;
/*$str .= $mycounter;*/
$str .= $myresults.'<br>';
}
return $str;
}
add_shortcode( 'show_featured_dates', 'get_featured_dates' );

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

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

To make sure your shortcode returns only the future dates from the custom field, you can update it to:

function get_featured_dates() {

global $post;
$str = '';
$tourdates = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpcf-start-tour-date', false);
$alltourdates = count($tourdates);
$today = strtotime('today midnight');
$mycounter = 0;
while ($mycounter < $alltourdates)
{
	if($today < $tourdates[$mycounter]) {
		$myresults = date( 'd. F Y', $tourdates[$mycounter]);
		$str .= $myresults.'<br>';
	}
$mycounter++;

}
return $str;
}
add_shortcode( 'show_featured_dates', 'get_featured_dates' );
