This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to set up a Query Filter in a View that allows me to test if the post was published over 6 months ago, or if a custom field value is set. I cannot find how to use the "OR" relation between the post date and a custom field, only between multiple custom fields.
Solution: It's not possible to build this type of Query Filter in wp-admin, because the AND/OR feature only applies to custom field values, not post dates. You can use the wpv_filter_query or wpv_filter_query_post_process APIs to customize the Query Filter further, or you can use conditional HTML to hide results based on conditional evaluations.

Hi, there's an option to choose "AND" or "OR" to link the custom field filters. Here's a screenshot showing the AND / OR option in the Query Filter panel. You can only choose one, so complex combinations that require different relationships between various fields are not possible in the GUI. That type of custom filter would require custom code using the wpv_filter_query API. If I've misunderstood the request, please let me know.
