Access meta keys from frontend form

  • is there any possibility to access meta keys like event-date or event-start-date from frontend via form builder? I have tried to access it with several frontend form plugins (WPUF & Buddyforms), but I cannot write the metadata. Taxonomies work fine by the way, both custom and built in.

    Hi,

    You can get the event date values (timestamps) of the current event with:

    $start_date_timestamp = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'event-start-date', true );
$end_date_timestamp = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'event-date', true );

    And if you want human readable dates, you should use the wp_date() function.
