    Hi!

    Maybe you can help me… I’m trying to display an elementor section only if the current date is between two dates. I created two ACF date fields, startdate and enddate. Is it even possible to set two dynamic date values for a “between” condition? If so, could you please help me out?

    Thank you very much!

    Kind Regards.

    Hello,

    this should be possible.
    Use current date as dynamic tag and between as condition and StringToTime as Compare Type.

    In the text-fields you can now enter the shortcode for your acf-fields, like:
    [acf field=”startdate”]
    and
    [acf field=”enddate”]

    At last, you have to enable “Parse Shortcodes”.

    I need it too for a section. I tried this, but no luck.

    L. E.

    It was my mistake because I made a custom date picker in ACF and plugin not work with this custom date.

    Hello,

    the problem here is, that the shortcode returns a date like “06/13/2020”, but the dynamictag returns an unix-timestamp.

    The trick is to change the return format of the acf field to “U”.
    Should look like this:

    Than you can setup the conditions like this:

    When you enable debug-mode it should look like this:

    Be careful for the quotes in the shortcodes.
    You have to use
    [acf field="startdate"]
    and not
    [acf field=”startdate”]
