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

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’ ) ); ?>
There is no blog creation date in WordPress. The first blog post is usually regarded as the blog creation date when you create copyright footer notes for a blog. This is not very reliable though. There are a few thing that happens by default when WordPress is first installed, the most important being a user … Read more
