Randomizing Post Links Outside of Loop – No Author or Date
The key to this is covered on the get_posts codex page: Access all post data using the setup_postdata function: foreach ( $rand_posts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); Regarding the_date, see the note about multiple instances on a page: SPECIAL NOTE: When there are multiple posts on a page published under the SAME DAY, the_date() only … Read more
Meta query stopped working

Set a custom post type’s title and slug to match the current date
This is completely untested, but the principles are in place. Get today’s date and built the title, build the slug and then insert the post as a draft. This doesn’t take care of disabling the title field from being edited. I imagine what you’re looking for would be a Javascript solution that just looks for … Read more
Plotting posts on a graph
You can do that with a custom SQL query, something along the lines of: global $wpdb; $results = $wpdb->get_results( “SELECT DATE(post_date) AS d, COUNT(*) AS c FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status=”publish” GROUP BY d” ); You’ll get an array of objects where d is the date and c is the number of posts published on that … Read more
Switch Categories on a Specific Date?
I don’t know if this can be accomplished with WP alone. I would create two custom fields for your posts. First custom field would hold the date you want make the switch Second field would hold the category you want the post to switch to (Assuming it’s not always the same post and not always … Read more
Show all 12 months regardless they have posts
I believe this is correct: $year = 2013; $month = 0; $qry = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_type’=>’post’, ‘posts_per_page’=>-1, ‘orderby’=>’date’, ‘order’=>’ASC’, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => true, ‘year’ => $year, ) ); while ($month < 12) { $month++; echo date(‘M’,strtotime(‘2000-‘.str_pad($month, 2, ‘0’, STR_PAD_LEFT).’-01 00:00:01′)).'<br>’; if ($qry->have_posts()) { while ($qry->have_posts()) { if (date(‘n’,strtotime($qry->post->post_date)) == $month) { echo ” — “; … Read more
Update post date of page when Visitor access that page?
You can hook into the action the_post (you get the post as parameter here) and run wp_update_post(). Make sure to clean up the date properties and not to run on the admin side or when a post is called in a widget: is_admin() or add_action( ‘the_post’, function( $post ) { if ( ! is_singular() or … Read more
Added Date Filter To Popular Posts Query
For creating a date filter you can use // Create a new filtering function that will add our where clause to the query function filter_where( $where=”” ) { // posts in the last 7 days $where .= ” AND post_date > ‘” . date(‘Y-m-d’, strtotime(‘-7 days’)) . “‘”; return $where; } add_filter( ‘posts_where’, ‘filter_where’ ); … Read more
Change News Story Layout Based on Date Range
Conceptually, that isn’t hard to do. if (have_posts()) { while (have_posts()) { the_post(); if ( $post->post_date >= date(“Y-m-d H:i:s”,strtotime(‘7/15/03 1:03 PM’)) && $post->post_date <= date(“Y-m-d H:i:s”,strtotime(‘9/19/07 11:34 AM’))) ) { // (layout coding) } elseif ( /* another condition */ ) { // (layout coding) } elseif ( /* another condition */ ) { // … Read more
