I have to get latest posts from only last 12 months by comparing the acf custom field datepicker value
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'news',
'paged' => (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'publication_date',
'after' => '-365 days',
),
),
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'DESC',
'hide_empty' => 0,
'pad_counts' => false,
);
You can get the post of last a year by:
$today = date('Ymd'); // Today's date
$date = strtotime($today.' -1 year'); // converting into string and doing minus a year
$lastyear = date('Ymd', $date); //get the date of the last year
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'news',
'paged' => (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1,
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'DESC',
'hide_empty' => 0,
'pad_counts' => false,
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => 'publication_date',
'compare' => '<=',
'value' => $today,
),
array(
'key' => 'publication_date',
'compare' => '>=',
'value' => $lastyear,
)
)
);
Here we can fetch it using meta query.
