    Thanks for this plugin. It’s exactly what I need but I am having an odd issue.

    I’m using the following shortcode:
    [searchandfilter fields=”search,post_date” types=”,daterange” headings=”,Post Date”]

    The two date inputs are just showing up as blank text inputs. Is there a way that I can resolve this?

    Hi codytaylor – unfortunately the date fields are of the html5 input type date.

    If a browser does not support this the input field will default as a text type. It should work on most modern phones and tablets (android & iOS) as they are supporting a lot of these new input types however desktop browsers are a little behind (I’m guessing mostly IE)..

    I plan to include a jquery date picker fallback for browsers that do not support it, or at least write a tutorial to help others but this may not be for a while – this article should help you get started: https://www.htmlgoodies.com/html5/markup/providing-an-html5-date-input-control-with-fallback.html#fbid=4TOWM8jqCTp

    Thanks for checking out the plugin ??

    unfortunately I don’t know what to do with this information. I’m simply trying to add the required date to post an article on our website and it won’t take it. I’ve never had this trouble before so I’m thinking that there is an update that I don’t have. Is there a way I can have a live conversation with someone?

    Hey cgourdon, sorry no live support offered but I’m on here quite a bit…

    I’m not sure what you are saying exactly? Can you explain in more detail the exact problem?

    It sounds like the problem you are having is not to do with this plugin :/

    Please reply in the other post ??

    The date problem I’m having is:
    On our website, we post updates and articles to our “news” section.
    Under something labeled Magic Fields, there is a required date field. There are 3 options, pick, today, blank. The blank has never worked right so I ignore that. But I’ve always been able to at least type in a date. For some reason, now I can’t get that field to work at all. When I type, nothing shows up. If I hit the “today” button, nothing happens. Ideas welcome!

    Hi cgourdon, I think the issue you are having is not within this plugin. Try disabling the plugin and see? There is no reason this plugin should be interfering with your other one.

    This plugin only uses the built in WP post date which is the date a post was published – there is no way to make this work with other fields.

    If you are using a “magic field” then this plugin will not work with that. Unfortunately I can’t make this plugin support so many different plugins and special cases :/
