Advanced Custom Fields datepicker: Show only events with a date of today or in the future. Extra comments from Pasnon @ ACF Forums: f you needed to, you could also play with the comparison date, which is the first array in meta_query, currently set to

date("Y-m-d") which is today; if you were to make it

date("Y-m-d", strtotime("-1 day")) you could set it to show posts from YESTERDAY up til 30 days in the future. etc.

Hope this helps someone!
