Hello,

I need some help regarding displaying only the future dates. I have this code below.

<?php 
$today = date('Y');
$month = date('n');

							$args_future = array(
								'nopaging'       => true,
						    'posts_per_page' => -1,
						    'post_type'      => 'events',
						    'post_status'    => 'publish',
						    'order'          => 'DESC',
						    'orderby'        => 'date',
						    'meta_key' => 'time',
						    'date_query' => array(
						    	array(
						    		'before' => array(
						    			'year' => $today,
						    			'month' => $month
						    		),
						    		'compare' => '<='
						    	)
						    )
							);
							$future = new WP_Query( $args_future );
?>

time is formatted like this -> January 2020

What I’m doing wrong here? the past dates and future dates are all displaying. I appreciate any help! Thank you!

Different approach:

 // get the event time
    $event_time = get_the_time('Y', $post->ID);

    // get the current time
    $server_time = date('Y');

    // if the event time is older than (less than)
    // the current time, do something
    if ( $server_time > $event_time ){
       // do something
    }
