Not as per the demo given
It only allows selecting the date, not time. take time automatically 12:00 AM. Doesn’t work.
Works great showing date and time
This plugin works great. It allows admins to select date and time. This plugin should have been included with the ACF core.
Cumbersome not mobile friendly
Functionality on desktop is fine but poor on mobile devices. Doesn’t function correctly in Contact 7. Kept being asked did I want to leave the page after saving. Affects other pages using datepicker.
