I’m not sure about a plugin, but you can definitely add custom meta that allows you to set the event date, or even an event daterange (my preferred way of handling this is an event date and a duration, cuts down on calculations in the backend and is generally easier to understand, but ymmv). This … Read more
Check out wp_cron and the cron_schedules filter. There are lots of good tutorials out there like this one from WPTuts or this one from Viper007Bond.
This is quite simple: just replace the get_the_date() or the_date() with echo human_time_diff(get_the_time(‘U’), current_time(‘timestamp’)) . ‘ ago’;
You should use date_i18n(): $timestamp = get_post_meta($post_to_edit->ID, ‘_single_date’, true); $friendly_date = date_i18n( get_option(‘date_format’), $timestamp ); ?><input value=”<?= $friendly_date ?>” name=”_single_date” />
You just need get current date and add it on data_query in wp_query, Look this: <?php $getdate = getdate(); $args = array( ‘date_query’ => array( array( ‘year’ => $getdate[“year”] ), ), ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?> and then use loop: <?php if ( $query->have_posts() ): while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); the_title(); … Read more
Yes, as you – so far – have no publish date. You could use $post->post_modified, which will always be the date of the latest modification to the post data. Debug: Try hooking into the filter and dump both vars: function date_dump_callback( $date, $d ) { echo ‘<pre>’; print_r( $date ); print_r( $d ); echo ‘</pre>’; … Read more
WordPress uses the date_default_timezone_set() function to set the server timezone. This is based on the timezone offset setting under Settings->General. Check your setting to make sure it matches your timezone at: http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php If changing your timezone via the setting doesn’t work, there’s probably nothing you can do to change this without touching your server configuration. … Read more
May be it’s a bad idea, but it’s the only. Don’t print posts immediately, but collect them in different variables: one for category “test”, one for the rest. <?php $w_h = $w_d = $last = 0; // init variables to concatenate content later $primary_posts = $secondary_posts=””; // empty array to fill later $category_names = array(); … Read more
<?php $today = getdate(); $args = array( //’nopaging’ => true, ‘paged’ => $paged, ‘category’ => 1, ‘posts_per_page’ => 36, ‘date_query’ => array( array( ‘after’ => $today[ ‘month’ ] . ‘ 1st, ‘ . ($today[ ‘year’ ] – 2) ) ) ); $catgory_posts = new WP_Query( $args ); // The Query ?> <div id=”grid”> <?php if( … Read more
As stated in my comment to the OP, you should make use of pre_get_posts to target change the query variables as needed before the main query is executed. Just a tip, pre_get_posts uses the same exact parameters as WP_Query, so you can have a look at those parameters and use them to construct your pre_get_post … Read more
