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.
You need to find the most recent date with posts and use that to construct the $current_ fields. $last_date = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT DATE(MAX(post_date)) FROM {$wpdb->posts} LIMIT 1”); if (!empty($last_date)) { list($current_year,$current_month,$current_day) = explode(‘-‘,$last_date); query_posts( “cat=5&year=$current_year&monthnum=$current_month&day=$current_day&order=ASC” ); }
You can do it like this: if ( have_posts() ) : /* Queue the first post, that way we know * which date we’re dealing with. * * We reset this later so we can run the loop * properly with a call to rewind_posts(). */ the_post(); // receive the latest post timestamp $latest_post_timestamp = … Read more
First of all I don’t think you should use your custom query_posts in here. WordPress already queries posts on archive pages, so it’s waste of time to query them one more time. You should be using pre_get_posts filter. function my_pre_get_posts($query) { if (!is_admin() && is_main_query() ‘<YOUR_POST_TYPE>’ === $query->query_vars(‘post_type’) && $query->is_archive()) { $query->set(‘orderby’,’meta_value’); $query->set(‘meta_key’, ‘<YOUR_POST_TYPE>’); //formatted … Read more
You can do this from the dashboard, enter the post and on the right hand side you can edit the published date.
There are many ways of comparing dates. the following is perhaps the simplest (untested): if ( in_category( ‘photographer-interviews’ ) && strtotime( get_the_date( ‘c’ ) ) > 1376524800 ) { get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘interview’ ); } else { get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘blog’ ); } 1376524800 is the Unix timestamp for 00:00 (GMT) on August 15 – that is, … Read more
You are likely getting unexpected results due to your query string. I would recommend getting familiar with the following: List of WordPress Query Variables WordPress function: get_query_var($var); List of WordPress Reserved Terms. Reserved Terms Avoiding the following reserved terms is particularly important if you are passing the term through the $_GET or $_POST array. Doing … Read more
WordPress has a core function human_time_diff that does what you want, using it with the filter you provide you have someting like so: add_filter(‘latest_tweets_render_date’, function( $created_at ){ $date = DateTime::createFromFormat(‘D M d H:i:s O Y’, $created_at ); return sprintf( ‘%s ‘ . __( ‘ago’ ), human_time_diff( $date->format(‘U’) ) ); });
Don’t use the publish date as the event date. Save the event’s date in a custom field in the format yyyy-mm-dd, and use a meta query to order events by that date. Also see pre_get_posts for ordering events correctly on archive pages without running a new query.
Use meta_value instead of meta_value_num <?php $course = new wp_query( array ( ‘posts_per_page’ => ’10’ , ‘post_type’ => ‘course’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘course_date’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ ) ); ?>
