I have a Custom Post Type with two ACF fields: Year_Beginning and Year_Ending.

In my view, I would like to have a text field into which people can enter a 4 digit year and filter to show all the records for which that number is between the two ACF values.

So if you typed "1927" you would find a record where Year_Beginning is 1925 and Year_Ending is 1930.

I can't seem to add a custom filter that can do this. Can you tell me if there's a way to accomplish this?

Thanks

Hello,

It is possible, you can add two filters on same URL parameter, for example:
Select items with field:
Year_Beginning is a number lower than or equal URL_PARAM(my-url-param)
AND
Year_Ending is a number greater than or equal URL_PARAM(my-url-param)
