Get current week’s day and time outside the loop

Use current_time to output the time based on the timezone set on the blog’s General Settings page.

Adding a number to a date

You need get_the_time, not the_time to get the date (the latter echo‘s the value). You also need to re-evaluate how you’re trying to calculate the end date – you can’t just “add” the number of days. What if the event length was 3 but the start date was the 31st? if ( $event_length ) { … Read more

Comparing Dates within plugin using PHP If statement

$current_date is a timestamp and $compare_date is a formatted date, so you’re comparing different things.

There are no hook points in the flow that let developers accomplish this; I’ve used a SQL-injection trick to achieve the filter. // Do advanced SQL … Read more
