The example below uses a date picker to select a date range and returns events active within the range.
The Filters add-on for Ajax Load More can render a calendar date picker that allows users to query posts by custom field date.
Note: The Date Picker field type works for dates stored as custom field values only.
Example
Test the date range functionality by selecting a range between June 20, 2026, and July 8, 2026.
