Updating to ACF PRO

I got this quetion over at AWP on Facebook:

How does upgrading work? If someone starts with ACF and your plugin,
then upgrades to ACF Pro, will their date/time custom field disappear?
I understand the data will be maintained but wondering if the field
will still be visible in WP admin.

Updating to ACF PRO should work fine, ACF PRO has a compatibility add-on for this plugin, but test it on a non production environment first.

Also, read the comments on this issue: https://github.com/…/acf-field-date-time-picker/issues/103

How do I set the date and time format?

To set the date and time format when you create the field, you have to create a string using the letters below.

Date format

d day of month (no leading zero)
dd day of month (two digit)
o day of the year (no leading zeros)
oo day of the year (three digit)
D day name short
DD day name long
m month of year (no leading zero)
mm month of year (two digit)
M month name short
MM month name long
y year (two digit)
yy year (four digit)

Time format

H Hour with no leading 0 (24 hour)
HH Hour with leading 0 (24 hour)
h Hour with no leading 0 (12 hour)
hh Hour with leading 0 (12 hour)
m Minute with no leading 0
mm Minute with leading 0
s Second with no leading 0
ss Second with leading 0
l Milliseconds always with leading 0
t a or p for AM/PM
T A or P for AM/PM
tt am or pm for AM/PM
TT AM or PM for AM/PM

Examples

• yy-mm-dd: 2013-04-12
• HH:mm: 24 hour clock, with a leading 0 for hour and minute
• h:m tt: 12 hour clock with am/pm, no leading 0

How do I format the date and time when I want to use it in my theme?

The Date and Time Picker field is saved as an UNIX timestamp. Use the PHP date function when you use it in your theme.

Reviews

Not as per the demo given

pradeep4net September 20, 2018

It only allows selecting the date, not time. take time automatically 12:00 AM. Doesn’t work.

Works great showing date and time

April 2, 2017

This plugin works great. It allows admins to select date and time. This plugin should have been included with the ACF core.

Cumbersome not mobile friendly

eddiebt February 28, 2017

Functionality on desktop is fine but poor on mobile devices. Doesn’t function correctly in Contact 7. Kept being asked did I want to leave the page after saving. Affects other pages using datepicker.
