WordPress is not written in these languages and have no assumed way to interact with them. You can access such info by connecting to WP database or by accessing WP-generated RSS feed, whatever is easier for tools you need to use.
You should be able to submit the following information to set a custom date $_POST[‘aa’] // Month $_POST[‘mm’] // Day $_POST[‘jj’] // Year $_POST[‘hh’] // Hour $_POST[‘mn’] // Minute $_POST[‘ss’] // Second
I recently did exactly the same, you’ll have to use custom query: $date = time()-86400; /* today */ $querystr = ” SELECT $wpdb->posts.* FROM $wpdb->posts, $wpdb->postmeta WHERE $wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id AND $wpdb->posts.post_status=”publish” AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = ‘event_date’ AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value > ” . $date . ” ORDER BY $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value ASC “; $pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT); foreach ($pageposts … Read more
Looks like a unix timestamp is being stored in the post meta – so you should compare with a unix timestimp, not a MySQL’s timestamp. To get the current time as a timestamp you should use the following code: current_time( ‘timestamp’ );
To be able to query on your dates beyond a simple date comparison you should reverse the format of your date field. Dates should always follow the MySQL date format for reliable querying and sorting: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS To query movies for today you would use a meta query: $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘-1’, ‘post_type’ … Read more
This will compare today’s date to the date meta key and select posts with a dates that are greater than or equal: ‘meta_compare’ => ‘>=’ If you want to match only today’s date, change it to just equal: ‘meta_compare’ => ‘=’
Your computer’s time and your server’s time may not be exactly synchronized. So you may be seeing some pseudo-issues because of that. I don’t know where you are seeing “published 1 minute ago”, or anything like that, in the backend. I see a “published on” date and a “last edited” date but those are ‘hard’ … Read more
You’re looking for wp_cron if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( ‘my_task_hook’ ) ) { wp_schedule_event( time(), ‘daily’, ‘my_task_hook’ ); } add_action( ‘my_task_hook’, ‘my_task_function’ ); And then you define my_task_function() updating the post date.
It depends on what the template uses to output whatever you’re trying to remove. If you look in source at whatever function is outputting what you want to remove, they each have a filter to let you modify output where you can __return_false instead, however, if there’s text or markup surrounding those template tags, your … Read more
This should do it. // See if the post is older than 24 hours. if ( get_post_time() <= strtotime( ‘-1 day’ ) ) { echo ‘Published more than 24 hours ago.’; } else { echo ‘Published within the last 24 hours.’; }
