Display only posts in latest post’s year and month

    15 years, 5 months ago

    I would like to display my posts by the most recent post’s month, on my home page.

    For example, if I published 20 posts this current month, they would be displayed. But as soon as I published a new post in a new month, I would start a fresh page.

    I hope this makes sense.

    Here is my loop at the moment:

    <?
	if(have_posts())
	{
		while(have_posts())
		{
			the_post();
?>
			<div>
				<h1><a href="<?the_permalink();?>" title="<?the_title_attribute();?>"><?the_title();?></a></h1>
				<?the_content();?>
			</div>
<?
		}
	}
	else
	{
?>
		<div>
			<h1>Not found</h1>
			<p>Sorry, but there is nothing here.</p>
		</div>
<?
		get_search_form();
	}
?>

  • Just before your if (have_posts())

    $today = getdate();
query_posts($query_string . '&year=' . $today["year"] . '&monthnum='.$today["mon"]);

    I don’t think that code quite works for what I want.

    I don’t want the current month (June), I want the most recent month from when my last published post.

    If my last post was from March, I want all of the March posts on the home page. Now it’s June, if I make a new post all posts from March disappear and the page is made fresh for more June posts.

    <?php
//get latest post, then get all posts in that one post's year and month
$args=array(
 'showposts'=>1,
 'caller_get_posts'=>1
  );
$lastpost = get_posts($args);
if ( $lastpost ) {
foreach($lastpost as $single) {
$fpyear = mysql2date("Y", $single->post_date);
$fpmonth = mysql2date("m", $single->post_date);
}
}
query_posts($query_string . '&year=' . $fpyear . '&monthnum='.$fpmonth);
?>

    Thank you!

    Hello Michael H, can you help? I have just tried your code above to show ONLY current month’s posts on front page, and it worked successfully. However, when I go to the previous months in the archive section on the right, everything has disappeared! How do I keep only this month’s post on the front page, but keep all the other months’ posts archived in their relevant month category?
