Problem solved: meta_query is an array of arrays

$custom_meta = array(
    array(
        'key'     => 'start_date',
        'value'   => array( $start, $end ), // change to how "event date" is stored
        'compare' => 'BETWEEN',
        'type'    => 'DATE',
    )
);

@bcworkz Good catch, thanks, but still not working. Query vars now show:

[meta_query] => Array
	(
		[key] => start_date
		[value] => Array
			(
				[0] => 20201101
				[1] => 20210531
			)

		[compare] => BETWEEN
		[type] => DATE
	)

but I’m still getting all records found.

Thanks @misplon, That did solve the problem.

I’m sorry it took so long to get back to you. The client is currently hosted on Hostgator, who apparently is unable or unwilling to upgrade to PHP 7. We’re in the process of moving them to a new host.

In your cPanel sidebar you should see “Dedicated IP Address”. If you enter that IP along with the Document Root of your Addon domain, you should be able to access WordPress:

e.g. https://123.45.678.90/add-on-domain/wp-admin/

If that works, then there is a problem with your domain, and you need to go back to your Domain Registrar to check the domain forwarding or Name Server.

If that does not work, then WordPress is not installed correctly.

serge512,

Got the same error. It didn’t show up for me until 3.2.1.

It is showing up for me in a couple different plugins, so I started a thread at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/multiple-plugins-failing-on-reference-to-metadatasizes?replies=1#post-2245466.

The other plugin I had trouble with was scissors-continued (same error).

There is a discussion at https://getshopped.org/forums/topic.php?id=22342&replies=11#post-91630 that helped with that, and some explanation by edwardra3 at https://getshopped.org/forums/topic.php?id=22395#position-11 that might get you started in the right direction.

I tried ralcus’s fix and it worked for me.

Forgot to mention:
WordPress vers. 2.9.1
The Events Calendar vers. 1.5.4

Linux host
PHP 5.2.5
MySQL 5.0.67
