Here’s a sketch of another idea, where we create scheduling shortcuts to make it easier for the users: We can use the post_submitbox_misc_actions to add extra fields to the submit box: /** * Scheduling-Shortcuts fields. * * @see http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/168748/26350 */ add_action( ‘post_submitbox_misc_actions’, function() { if( ! current_user_can( ‘publish_posts’ ) ) return; ?> <div style=”padding: 2px … Read more
Yes, there isn’t currently built-in support for CPT archives, but that doesn’t mean you can’t extend WP to provide it. I just did this myself the other day… This won’t create the date-based archives you’re looking for, but it will give you virtual archive behavior for custom post types. Adding the date should just be … Read more
I’m not sure why EliasNS’ answer is marked correct, as far as I’m aware (and from the documentation), the second parameter of DateTime::__construct(), if provided, should be a DateTimeZone instance. The problem then becomes, how we do we create a DateTimeZone instance. This is easy if the user has selected a city as their timezone, … Read more
Somehow I missed the current_time function, which gives a good description of the situation and how to properly deal with the need to get the current blog-local time. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_time Though the purist in me still hates how WP makes the time zone setting in php.ini obsolete without giving you a choice. *grumble grumble*
They are, very similar but with some nuances: function get_the_date( $d = ” ) { global $post; $the_date=””; if ( ” == $d ) $the_date .= mysql2date(get_option(‘date_format’), $post->post_date); else $the_date .= mysql2date($d, $post->post_date); return apply_filters(‘get_the_date’, $the_date, $d); } function get_the_time( $d = ”, $post = null ) { $post = get_post($post); if ( ” == … Read more
If you can explain it in SQL, you can query for it! There are three places where we want to change the default query: SELECT wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id) WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_type=”post” AND (wp_posts.post_status=”publish”) AND wp_postmeta.meta_key = ‘startDate’ AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS CHAR) < ‘2011-03-23’ GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER … Read more
I ran into the same problem several times, following changes worked for me in the past: while (have_posts()) : the_post(); //some html <li class=”icon-date”><?php echo get_the_date( ‘Y-m-d’ ); ?></li> <li class=”icon-time”><?php the_time( ‘H:i:s’ ); ?></li> Instead of the_date(), use get_the_date(). The only thing to be aware of, is that values returned by get_the_date() have to … Read more
This is not really an answer, just an attempt to find the specific context for this problem. Please install the following plugin on your site, try to set the three dates and add your result to the second <pre> in the table below. /* Plugin Name: WPSE Sysinfo */ add_action( ‘admin_footer’, ‘wpse_sysinfo’ ); function wpse_sysinfo() … Read more
If you don’t add a post_date then WordPress fills it automatically with the current date and time. To set another date and time [ Y-m-d H:i:s ] is the right structure. An example below with your code. $postdate=”2010-02-23 18:57:33″; $new_post = array( ‘post_title’ => $title, ‘post_content’ => $description, ‘post_date’ => $postdate, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘post_parent’ … Read more
I know I’m three months late, but the function you want here is WordPress’ get_date_from_gmt(). The function accepts a GMT/UTC date in Y-m-d H:i:s format as the first parameter, and your desired date format as the second parameter. It’ll convert your date to the local timezone as set on the Settings screen. Example usage: echo … Read more
