My original impression was that I believe that what is happening is that the Loop doesn’t get incremented until the_post runs so your && $postyear == $i check is actually looking at the previous post not the current one. You are going to have to reorganize this to get that check after the Loop is … Read more
This isn’t complete copy/paste code, but hopefully it’s understandable enough to get you started. First step is to register your post type and add a rewrite rule to handle years/months. This will give you single events at event/post-name/, your post type archive at calendar, and handle incoming requests for calendar/yyyy/mm/. Make sure to visit your … Read more
With some more googling: <?php $today = date(“Y/m/j”); query_posts(array( ‘post_type’ => ‘custompost’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 4, ‘meta_key’ => ‘mydate’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘mydate’, ‘meta-value’ => $value, ‘value’ => $today, ‘compare’ => ‘>=’, ‘type’ => ‘CHAR’ ) ) )); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <a … Read more
You want to query for posts with event_date in the future but you have saved (or so it seems from a comment), your dates as: date(“F”, $unixtime).” “.date(“d”, $unixtime).”, “.date(“Y”, $unixtime); That is “textual month name” + “numeric day” + “numeric year”. There is no way to query/sort that format so that it matches a … Read more
Use Sticky Posts. In the Post editor find the “Publish” section. Next to “Visibility” click on edit and then check the “Stick this post to the front page” option there. Click save and you’re done. In the loop, you can check if a post is_sticky(). To loop them, you can use the post__in or post_not__in … Read more
I would save an option on post save: add_action( ‘save_post’, function($id,$p) { if ( (defined(‘DOING_AUTOSAVE’) && DOING_AUTOSAVE) || (defined(‘DOING_AJAX’) && DOING_AJAX) || ($p->post_status === ‘auto-draft’) ) { return; } update_option(‘_last_site_update’,$p->post_date); }, 1,2 ); And retrieve it with a variant of the function provided by @G-M : function my_last_updated( $format=”” ) { $last = get_option(‘_last_site_update’); if … Read more
Question How to change the post date to a randomly generated date? Answer This is fairly straightforward. What I did was to create a plugin that upon activation get all the posts, loops through them, generates a random date, and updates the post with that date. <?php /** * Plugin Name: WPSE 259750 Random Dates … Read more
The date format for entering the date is largely irrelevant. strtotime will convert a lot of different formats to UNIX time. Just make sure your input format makes sense to your users and make sure that your feed strtottime a format that correctly converts to UNIX time. If you are storing data in the *_postmeta … Read more
The short answer: you need to modify the query for your single event post to include the metadata, so only posts with matching name, year, and month will be returned. I’ll show you the complete code I used to test this. I made a few changes to your code and simplified a few things, so … Read more
There are similar posts on this site about the same topic, if you look around. But here is your answer: To make this work you need to change your date format. You can sort alphabetically, or numerically, not calender-merically. The only human date format that orders correctly is YYYY/MM/DD. The separator are optional and shouldn’t … Read more
