The correct array key to use is meta_key, not key. You can only use key as part of a meta_query subarray, where the ‘meta’ part is implied. This is all described in the codex. Try <?php $activities = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘timeline’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘meta_key’ => ‘activity-date’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘order’ => … Read more
How to compare date in post meta value
Just guessing, but try this: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘my_content’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘start_month’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘start_month’, ), ), ); $thisQuery = new WP_Query( $args );
Why not changing the loop? Inside the loop, just check to see if the custom-field or post-meta which you provided for the custom date is filled or not and show the post date or custom date according to the conditions. You can also have a special page for that category’s timeline and a function for … Read more
Filter the content of post_class(): add_filter( ‘post_class’, function( $classes ) { if ( is_singular() ) return $classes; // now minus last mod time in seconds $diff = time() – mysql2date( ‘U’, $post->post_date ); if ( DAY_IN_SECONDS <= $diff ) $classes[] = ‘new-post’; return $classes; }); Now, in your loop, use post_class(), and you get an … Read more
How to get past and upcoming post by defining date in custom field?
the_date() is technically the template tag to do it. However it has a somewhat unusual aspect to only output once per date, so if there are multiple posts on page from same date they won’t all show it. get_the_date() is one level lower and retrieves (not outputs) a post’s date without that bit of logic.
You can use the month parameter of WP_Query to get posts by month. For example, to get all posts published on March, ignoring year: <?php $the_query = new WP_Query( ‘monthnum=3’ ); echo ‘<ul>’; while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) { $the_query->the_post(); echo ‘<li>’ . get_the_title() . ‘</li>’; } echo ‘</ul>’; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
The question pretty much got covered in another thread here. In case anyone else need anything like this I ended up using following code to hide all the posts that are over a week in the future. function hide_future_posts($where, $q) { if(is_admin() && $q->is_main_query() && !filter_input(INPUT_GET, ‘post_status’) && ( $screen = get_current_screen() ) instanceof \WP_Screen … Read more
Use pre_get_posts to add a meta query to the main query: function wpd_date_meta_query( $query ) { if( $query->is_post_type_archive( ‘your_post_type’ ) && $query->is_main_query() ){ $meta_query = array( array( ‘key’ => ‘Date’, ‘value’ => date(‘Ymd’), ‘compare’ => ‘>=’, ‘type’ => ‘NUMERIC’ ) ); $query->set( ‘meta_query’, $meta_query ); $query->set( ‘meta_key’, ‘Date’ ); $query->set( ‘orderby’, ‘meta_value_num’ ); $query->set( ‘order’, … Read more
