Hello,
\ni need to let my visitor choose a start date and a end date to filter the events.
\nSo i use wp_query, all work fine when i choose only a start date or a and date, see the query below :
\nWhen user choose a start date :
\n\t\t\t‘post_type’ => ‘tribe_events’,
\n\t\t\t‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
\n\t\t\t‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’,
\n\t\t\t‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
\n\t\t\t‘eventDisplay’=>’custom’,
\n\t\t\t‘meta_query’ => array(
\n\t\t\t\tarray(
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘key’ => ‘_EventStartDate’,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘value’ => $date_evenement_debut,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘compare’ => ‘>=’,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘type’ => ‘DATE’
\n\t\t\t\t)
\n\t\t\t)
\nWhen user choose a end date :
\n\t\t\t‘post_type’ => ‘tribe_events’,
\n\t\t\t‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
\n\t\t\t‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’,
\n\t\t\t‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
\n\t\t\t‘eventDisplay’=>’custom’,
\n\t\t\t‘meta_query’ => array(
\n\t\t\t\tarray(
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘key’ => ‘_EventEndDate’,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘value’ => $date_evenement_fin,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘compare’ => ‘<=’,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘type’ => ‘DATE’
\n\t\t\t\t),
\n\t\t\t)<\/p>\n

So i tested this request to compare 2 dates with the 2 dates of the events :
\n\t\t\t‘post_type’ => ‘tribe_events’,
\n\t\t\t‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
\n\t\t\t‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’,
\n\t\t\t‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
\n\t\t\t‘eventDisplay’=>’custom’,
\n\t\t\t‘meta_query’ => array(
\n\t\t\t\tarray(
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘key’ => ‘_EventStartDate’,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘value’ => $date_evenement_debut,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘compare’ => ‘>=’,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘type’ => ‘DATE’
\n\t\t\t\t),
\n\t\t\t\tarray(
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘key’ => ‘_EventEndDate’,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘value’ => $date_evenement_fin,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘compare’ => ‘<=’,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘type’ => ‘DATE’
\n\t\t\t\t)
\n\t\t\t)
\nBut it’s not working, i search on multiples forums and some users solve this problem using date on format NUMERIC like this :
\n$date_event_debut and $date_event_fin is on format YYYYMMDD.
\nBut it’s not working.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t‘post_type’ => ‘tribe_events’,
\n\t\t\t‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
\n\t\t\t‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’,
\n\t\t\t‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
\n\t\t\t‘eventDisplay’=>’custom’,
\n\t\t\t‘meta_query’ => array(
\n\t\t\t\tarray(
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘key’ => ‘_EventStartDate’,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘value’ => array($date_event_debut,$date_event_fin),
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘compare’ => ‘BETWEEN’,
\n\t\t\t\t\t‘type’ => ‘DATE’
\n\t\t\t\t),
\n\t\t\t),
\nDo you have any possible solutions ?
\nThank you to bring me your light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1190191","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nProblems to compare start and end date in wp_query -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/problems-to-compare-start-and-end-date-in-wp_query\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Problems to compare start and end date in wp_query -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello, i need to let my visitor choose a start date and a end date to filter the events.
