Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Here is the doc about how you can build custom search using Toolset:

Here is the doc about how you can build the text search using Toolset:
=> https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-custom-search/#style-the-search-box-and-results

I would like to know are you using blocks or classic views to build your custom search?

[jason-bum-sooK]

I'm currently using the classic view.

Here is the doc that should help you to understand how you can build classic views:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/legacy-features/views-plugin/front-page-filters/

You will have to add the custom field as views filter and use compare value as "number" and use "Between" clause for comparison.

Please let me know if you require further help.

Thank you.

Is there a way to implement it in the same form as the attached image?

There is no Post Date in Post Filter when New Filter is selected in Search and Pagination of View.

Please answer about my question.

Ok - I got it.

There is no feature to add publish date as frontend filter, so what you will have to do is as a workaround, you should add a custom date field namely "custom publish date" and copy the publish date value to this custom date field when yo save/update posts.

Then, later you should add a custom date field filter for this newly created date filed that actually holds the publish date. Will that work for you?

Hello.

Thank you for answer.

How can I duplicate the Publish Date value into a custom date field?
Please let me know if there is a way to do it.

Please.

I would like to know how many posts you have already? if you have too many posts then we will require to build and run such script so that it will copy the publish date to custom field.

If you have only 5-10 posts then you can add the custom date field and set the date as publish date. If you already have too many posts then to build and run such script I will require admin access details.

*** 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.
