Hello,

We have created a custom post type and we have added a custom field called deadline which is a date.

Is there a way to make the post disappear once the deadline date is reached?

Hello,

I assume we are talking about a custom date field "deadline" created with Toolset Types plugin.

You can add a custom field filter into view block:
Select items with field:
deadline is a number greater than TODAY()

If you are using Blocks Editor, you can edit the page you mentioned above:
hidden link
Find and select the view block, in the side bar, there is a section "Query Filter", add the filter as I mentioned above. See screenshot: query-filter.JPG

Above document is using classic editor, the GUI is different from blocks editor.

Luo is on vacation. This is Minesh here and I'll take care of this ticket. Hope this is OK.

Can you please send me temporary wp-admin access details so that I will be able to access the admin and check what is going wrong with your view filter.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Can you please check now: hidden link

I've added the following Query Filter to your Block View's Query Filter tab on right side:

Custom field filter
Select items with field:
deadline is a UNSIGNED greater than TODAY()

Can you please confirm it works as expected now.
