    We’re in the process of migrating to WP & Geodirectory and a feature that I can’t seem to locate is the ability to search by a specific date range (and order by Upcoming). We drive a lot of our current traffic through weekly “What’s On” posts on social media, so this is a key requirement for us. Am I missing something in the config? Does this feature exist? If not, is it something that is customisable? Thanks, John

    Here is an example of how it works on our current site;

    Hi John, that is all built in, see the demo at https://wpgeo.directory/docs/events/
    The default sort is set to upcoming as you can see, and the search bar has date selectors.
    Thanks

    Ah, great!

    Can you let me know where in the config (or relevant help article) I can set the date selectors to show, at the moment they’re not appearing on the front end search for me.

    Thanks.

    Activate the Advanced Search plugin, then go
    GD > Event Settings > Advanced Search tab > and and “Search by date”

    Thanks

    Hey Guust, thanks, I didn’t have the Advanced Search plugin activated, so I’ve got this going now.

    Question though, when I go to Events, it does now display the date picker in the search options, but it also retains the date picker if I select a different CTP in the first (left hand) drop down, which isn’t necessarily user friendly.

    I.e. our CTP’s are Events, Attractions, Businesses & Jobs – the last three of which a ‘Search by date range’ is relevant. How do I make it only show for the Events CTP?

    Cheers.

    Hey Guust,

    I take this back, it does now refresh the search bar and remove date for the other CTP’s.

    Thanks for your help!
