Oh dear, rookie error that I didn't think to check on the meta entry (copy-paste-haste - no one else to blame). Slap forehead. With thanks and apologies.
YAY: Using the following has delivered what I need. Please get rid of this thread unless of use.
$date = rwmb_meta( 'poetrylibrary_event-date', true ) ;
$dateoutput = date_i18n( 'jS F', $date);
I have now got the timestamps comparing correctly by amending my query - which I had incorrectly added a meta_value => $today to. It is now showing posts as intended. HOWEVER - I am now struggling to change the timestamp meta_value to a front-end readable date. Currently only showing the 1970 date.
I need to amend my previous comment - I hadn't refreshed, and now the timestamps are showing in the expected format in the database. However, I am still getting nothing working.
I've just checked the database and the stored meta_value for the chosen meta_key (poetrylibrary_event-date) is 2016-04-15 - this doesn't look like a timestamp. Is my thinking wrong or have I applied the option in the wrong way?
Hello… not sure how to update the group plugin as no indication in my plugins folder of any update - is there any other way to download an extension and manually install or should I await the change in my plugins directory?
That would be the thing to do! Most grateful… Though I've had no update for this through as yet. Is there a way to download from source do you know - github?
