It’s a little complicated, but we can do this by directly modifying the query with a filter on posts_where. We’ll start with a query for posts with a meta value of today’s date, this is assuming a date format of yyyy-mm-dd: $date_today = date(‘Y-m-d’); $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ … Read more
The date format for entering the date is largely irrelevant. strtotime will convert a lot of different formats to UNIX time. Just make sure your input format makes sense to your users and make sure that your feed strtottime a format that correctly converts to UNIX time. If you are storing data in the *_postmeta … Read more
Just go to Settings > General, scroll down to the date formatting section, select custom, and type this: F jS, g:i a which yields a date like: June 1st, 7:29 pm The official WordPress docs give the letters to use for time formatting.
As far as I can see, you won’t get any indication a post was previously published, as wordpress remembers only the old versus new transitions. I recommend you add some meta data, that is use add_action(‘publish_post’, ‘your_function’) (or similar) to do update_post_meta($post->ID, ‘post_published’, ‘on’). That way, every post gets an indicator when it’s published – … Read more
I found a workaround by myself. In wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/function.php: function twentythirteen_entry_date( $echo = true ) { : //$date = sprintf( ‘<span class=”date”><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/112514/%1$s” title=”%2$s” rel=”bookmark”><time class=”entry-date” datetime=”%3$s”>%4$s</time></a></span>’, $date = sprintf( ‘<span class=”date”><a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/112514/%1$s” title=”%2$s” rel=”bookmark”><time class=”entry-date” datetime=”%3$s”>%3$s</time></a></span>’, x %4$s o %3$s Still, it doesn’t seem to reflect the choice of the date-format setting made on wp.
Yes you can put custom date by editing the published on date on the top right of the post/page edit. See the image attached for better understanding.
This is explained on the according Codex page: echo get_the_date();
I’m outlining a solution for what you asked in your last comment, because this wouldn’t been fitting for the comment format. Code: function date_time_to_timestamp_meta( $post_id ) { // meta fields are saved in DATETIME, e.g. »2013-12-09 22:32:12« // here is only the date part relevant $datetime_date = get_post_meta( $post_id, ‘_start_date’, true ); // here is … Read more
Maybe you’ld like to go to settings > general and then add a custom date format. Like d.m.1985 instead of d.m.Y Or you write a function that subtracts the time you want from the current date. Or you set the server time back to 1985. But that’s no good idea since it will affect other … Read more
Creating a Scheduled Event First we’ll create a function that will schedule our event. Mine is called “mycronjob” and it will run once every day. All this code can go into your plugin’s main file, outside the main function: // create a scheduled event (if it does not exist already) function cronstarter_activation() { if( !wp_next_scheduled( … Read more
