There should not be any need to do this.
Even if an ACF Field is using 'return_format' => 'm/d/Y g:i a',
The post_meta value is in YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00
format.
$date_now = date('Y-m-d');
$args = [
'meta_key'=>'the_date',
'meta_value'=>$date_now.' 00:00:00',
'meta_compare'=>'>=',
];
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
Edit: I’ve noticed some discrepancies in this, the value may be in Ymd
. When in doubt, check the data. You can find the post_meta by looking up the post_id
in the wp_postmeta
table.
