If Post is Older than 60 days do this…

  • Hi there,

    I’d like to perform different queries for a post archive depending on the age of the post.

    If the post has been written within the last 60 days:

    Do this ########

    Else

    Do this ********

    So I need to have the date of when the post was written with get_the_time and then see if its been written within the last 60 days.

    Do you know how to do this? And could you show me how here? ??

    Many thanks.

  • Here is some code I found a while back (modified to work for you). It just has to be used within the loop of course.

    <?php
global $post;
$postdate = str_replace("-", " ",substr($post->post_date, 0,10));
$postd = explode(" ", $postdate);
$ageunix = (( time() - mktime('','','', $postd[1], $postd[2], $postd[0])));
$days_old = floor($ageunix/(24*60*60));

if ($days_old <= 60) {
  // do this
} else {
  // do this
}

?>

    I got this error:

    “mktime() expects parameter 1 to be long”

    This worked better for me in the loop:

    <?php $ageunix = get_the_time('U');
$days_old_in_seconds = ((time() - $ageunix));
$days_old = (($days_old_in_seconds/86400));
?>

<?php if ($days_old > 60) : ?>

<?php else : ?>

<?php endif; ?>
