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
the_date() is technically the template tag to do it. However it has a somewhat unusual aspect to only output once per date, so if there are multiple posts on page from same date they won’t all show it. get_the_date() is one level lower and retrieves (not outputs) a post’s date without that bit of logic.
Look for the code that displays the post date. It should look something like the following: Posted on: <?php the_time(‘l, F jS, Y’) ?> Now replace it with the following code (slightly modified from Ardamis’ post): Posted on <?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> <?php $u_time = get_the_time(‘U’); $u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time(‘U’); if ($u_modified_time != $u_time) { … Read more
Use the_date with link
I’ve found the code below that does what I want except it isn’t accurate to the hour. It is only accurate to the whole day, so if my post expires in the morning it still shows it as current in the afternoon. How would this be able to be more accurate to the hour? <?php … Read more
For some reason, strtotime didn’t recognise the date format d.m.y. m/d-y is save. Then it worked.
You could try to set a Transient and set its expiration to 3 months. Once it expires, it can trigger a message or some other behavior that alerts the user about the timeframe.
Use current_time to output the time based on the timezone set on the blog’s General Settings page.
Unfortunately as describes it is far from trivial to display just the date in localized format. The function for localized date output in WP is date_i18n(). But it doesn’t have a concept of output in arbitrary locale. It always takes locale to use from global $wp_locale context. You would have to pretty much rebuild this … Read more
