In order to order a custom post type by datepicker repeater values in WordPress, you can use the meta_query
parameter in your WP_Query
arguments. The meta_query
parameter allows you to specify custom meta data conditions for querying posts. Here is an example of how to use it:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'your_custom_post_type',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'datepicker_repeater_field',
'value' => date( 'Y-m-d' ),
'compare' => '>=',
'type' => 'DATE'
),
),
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'meta_key' => 'datepicker_repeater_field',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
This code uses the meta_query
parameter to query posts of the custom post type “your_custom_post_type” and only return posts where the datepicker repeater field is greater than or equal to today’s date. It also sorts the posts by meta_value
of the datepicker_repeater_field
and order it in ascending order.
Keep in mind that, If you are using a repeater field, you will have to use a plugin that allows you to query by repeater fields like Advanced Custom Fields(ACF) or Toolset etc. You will have to replace the datepicker_repeater_field
with the actual name of your repeater field and your_custom_post_type with the actual name of your custom post type.
It’s a good idea to test this code on a test server or a development environment before applying it to your live website.
