Try the date_diff() / DateTime::diff() function in PHP: // Object-oriented style. $datetime1 = new DateTime( $post->post_date ); $datetime2 = new DateTime(); // current date $interval = $datetime1->diff( $datetime2 ); echo $interval->format( ‘%a days old’ ); // .. or procedural style. $datetime1 = date_create( $post->post_date ); $datetime2 = date_create(); // current date $interval = date_diff( $datetime1, … Read more
WordPress actually has an obscure and little known function called human_time_diff() that does this. It takes two arguments; the first is the earlier timestamp, and the second is the later timestamp. Both should be Unix timestamps. The first argument is required, but the second is optional, and will use time() if left empty. So, for … Read more
You should store the time as a unix time stamp then you can use human_time_diff to compare. echo human_time_diff( get_the_time(‘U’), current_time(‘timestamp’) ); If the difference is more than 24 hours difference it will return the value in days.
Looking at http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.date.php I dont think strtotime will convert a DD/MM/YYYY to time correctly. However it can do MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD. Try using the date format of YYYY/MM/DD Or if thats not to your liking then you can use the same date format but you will have to, on save, split up the date and … Read more
Just use the_date(), it has this as a built-in feature. See the dev docs for more info.
You can do: echo str_replace(‘mins’, ‘minutes’, human_time_diff( get_the_time(‘U’), current_time(‘timestamp’) ) . ‘ ago’); Update: The same using filter as suggested: add_filter(‘human_time_diff’, ‘new_human_time_diff’, 10, 2); function new_human_time_diff($from, $to) { // remove filter to prevent the loop remove_filter(‘human_time_diff’, ‘new_human_time_diff’); $timediff = str_replace(‘mins’, ‘minutes’, human_time_diff($from, $to) . ‘ ago’); // restore the filter add_filter( ‘human_time_diff’, ‘new_human_time_diff’, 10, 2); … Read more
WordPress sets the php timezone to UTC for internal calculations. So at 4pm PST, date() will be producing a date that reads 10pm UTC. Hence the event is considered past. There are two ways to resolve this. (The preferred method) Store dates in the database in UTC. Handle all date calculations in UTC, and convert … Read more
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_gmt_from_date Replace all instances of get_the_date or the_date with echo get_gmt_from_date(get_the_date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’)). That’s not a quick fix, it’s a way to fix your sitemaps. EDIT: WordPress SEO runs it’s raw dates from MySQL through a WP function called mysql2date, which in turn calls date_i18n. date_i18n happens to have a handy filter which you can tie … Read more
An example, that uses the posts_where filter. If you need to extend a query using the posts_clauses filter, then just exchange $where with $pieces and set $pieces[‘where’] .= instead of $where .=. Just drop that into your functions.php file and add some conditional tag before querying the posts. function filter_where( $where ) { // Add … Read more
What is the purpose of the timezone setting in the Admin -> Settings section? Since WordPress handles time zone on its own (separately from native PHP functionality) that is where the setting made and result is stored in options. Whenever anything that works with timezones needs to happen, the time zone setting is retrieved and … Read more
