Hi Folks,
concerning this problem:
Filter doesn´work on date
Due to the holidays i missed your answers and the chance to answer by myself: after testing the way you described it to me It seems to be the conflict with YOAST SEO. As soon as Yoast is deacitvated the sorting works also (in the backend) with dates.
However: Yoast is a important plug in for as on several sites. So: is there any workarround or bugfix coming up?
It is not a great way of working if you want to check something with dates on EventCalender that you have to deactivate YOAST before and then – after checking – activate it again…
Looking forward to your answer and thx for your input about the conflict with yoast.
