Key Features

• Flexibility in Date Restrictions:

Provides flexibility in defining date restrictions. You can set both the minimum and maximum dates, allowing you to create a specific range of selectable dates. This is beneficial for scenarios where you want to limit the date options based on specific requirements, such as event start and end dates or booking availability.

• Minimum Date:

Set the earliest date that users can select. For example, you can restrict the selection to dates starting from today or any specific date.

• Maximum Date:

Define the latest date that users can choose. This allows you to limit the selectable dates to a certain range. For instance, you can set a maximum date of one month from the current date.

• Additional Options:

Elementor Pro provides more customization options for date restrictions, such as:

Exclusion Days: You can exclude specific days of the week from being selectable. For example, if your business is closed on Sundays, you can exclude that day from the available choices.

Date Format: Customize the display format of the selected date to match your desired format, such as mm/dd/yyyy or dd-mm-yyyy.

Relative Dates: You can utilize relative dates to set dynamic restrictions. For instance, you can specify a minimum date as “+2 weeks” from the current date, ensuring that users can only select dates at least two weeks in the future.
Two Dependent Date Pickers: You want two date fields where the second date (End Date) is dependent on the first date (Start Date).
