I am trying to:
I have a date. I want to show a message if the date is not past. If it is past, show another message. I am also trying to have a conditional if it's before Noon. If it's after noon, tell the user it's too late.

I expected to see:
I expect to see the message based on the date/time.

Instead, I got:
Nothing correct.

Nesting that I am following is here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/nesting-and-combining-conditions/

Hi, I'll try to help. I see two potential problems.
1. The rfp-time fields aren't inserted properly. The syntax should be identical to the bid-deadline field:

Use $(wpcf-rfp-time) not [rfp-time]

2. This conditional is not closed properly:

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-bid-deadline) eq 'TODAY()' )"]

Inside this conditional you'll see 'ending soon' and 'ended today', but then the conditional is not closed. So the next conditional, 'less than today', is nested inside the 'equal to today' conditional. This is why you do not see "Sorry, past" anywhere. Be sure to close the today conditional before the past conditional.

Let me know the results.
