As far as I know that’s as deep as wordpress can go, you will have to use php to get it into weeks/months/etc. You have 2 options: Use human_time_diff and create a function that just calculates the differences(pretty easy to figure out 7 days = 1 week, etc).

get_the_date() and get_modified_date() don’t return time values: so, if you change your conditional statement to the below, it should work: if ( get_the_modified_date() > get_the_date() ) { … } Now if the updated date is greater than the original publish date(by one day), the if statement is true.
the_time() is for outputting the time at which a post was written, and gets this value from the global $post. I’m guessing you just want php’s date()?
get_comment_date requires a comment id as the second argument. If you don’t provide this, it looks to the global $comment variable, which is set when using a WP_Query->the_comment(). Maybe consider changing your loop to be a WP_Query, or just do get_comment_date( ”, $comment->ID )

The correct function to use for what you describe would be date_i18n() WordPress function. It will produce output that is correct for timezone configured in WordPress and also localized if necessary.
Please change your args like this. $meta_query = array( array( ‘key’ => ‘event_type’, ‘value’ => ‘featured’, ‘compare’ => ‘=’ ) ); $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘event’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘event_date’, ‘meta_query’ => $meta_query );
$post_date = get_the_date(‘d/m/Y’); $today = date(‘d/m/Y’); if ( $post_date == $today ) { echo get_the_date(‘h:m’); } else { echo get_the_date(); }
