This plugin allows you to display the next date from a list of dates with the [nextdate] shortcode.

Want to always have the next date from a list displayed on a page of your site? Nextdate picks the next upcoming date from your list and displays it in the format you like!
Perhaps you have a recurring monthly meeting or event and you want to always display the next date to keep the page current.
Use the <code>[nextdate]</code> shortcode with a list of dates to get the next date from the list.
The <code>dates</code> parameter is required and should include a comma separated list of valid dates in any format that <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php" rel="nofollow ugc">PHP will recognize</a>, for example <code>5/15/2011, 2012-01-15, 21.9.2013, Tuesday, next Thursday</code>
You can also specify a <code>default</code> value like <code>[nextdate dates="5/15/1993, 7/19/2008" default="No upcoming party" /]</code> to display a default value when none of the dates are in the future.
You can optionally specify a <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php" rel="nofollow ugc">PHP friendly date format</a>, for example <code>[nextdate dates="next Thursday" format="l, F jS" /]</code> to format the date. By default, dates are returned back in the <code>F j, Y</code> format, i.e. <code>September 18, 2013</code>.
For an example of usage, see how the <a href="https://bayareamastermind.com/events/" rel="nofollow ugc">Bay Area Mastermind</a> lists their next upcoming event dates.
