title: WP Query, with ACF to NOT show posts with a date older than today
body: <p>Morning all,</p>
  
  <p>I'm attempting to loop through posts in a specific category if the custom field (event_date) (ACF) is older than today. The query I'm using is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$today = current_time('Ymd');
  $args = array(
  'category' =&gt; 42, // Events category
  'post_status' =&gt; 'publish', // Published
  'posts_per_page' =&gt; '0', // Unlimited posts per page
  'meta_query' =&gt; array(
      array(
          'key' =&gt; 'event_date', // Only loop through posts when the event date
          'compare' =&gt; '&gt;', // Is greater than $today, ie in the future
          'value' =&gt; $today, 
      )
  ),
  'meta_key' =&gt; 'event_date',
  'orderby' =&gt; 'meta_value',
  'order' =&gt; 'ASC',
  );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In ACF, I've set the saved date to be default (yymmdd) and I've set it to match the $today var (Ymd) yet it's still showing an event from 23rd June.</p>
  
  <p>The client wanted them listed to show the events in date order, but to not show past events. I've got it half working, however this one is causing me some issues as I believe it should be working. I've double checked everything in the backend and all looks good. I may be having a blonde moment too...</p>
  
  <p>Any assistance would be much appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
