Posts in ascending order with today’s always firs

  • I’ve asked this elsewhere and I’ve seen this asked elsewhere but to no avail. It’s crucial to my project though so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I want to blog to the future with ascending posts visible, but with today’s post always first. After today, the top post drops off the screen and into the archives, and tomorrow’s post (already visible) moves up into the top slot. I can continue adding posts for future days and the user will always see posts going from the present into the future. Is this possible? Thanks for any help and thanks to the WordPress team for a phenomenal system.

  • Sounds like more than one “hack” will be needed for this to happen. It would take lots of time to do that, too, and perhaps that is why you haven’t got an answer yet.
    Sorry about that ??

    Sean, I have a similiar situation on one of my blogs. I had the archives all in one category. In the index.php template, I replaced <?php wp_list_cats(); ?> with a hard-coded link to the category archive page. To get the archive page to display in ascending order, it should be “https://www.example.com/index.php&order=ASC&cat=1&#8221; (or whatever your category number is). The actual URI is “https://www.example.com/index.php&order=ASC&cat=1&#8221; but if you don’t use the & the page won’t validate. Then on the Options-Reading page, set Show the most recent: to 1 post. The most recent post will show on your index.php page and you have hard-coded a link to the category in ascending order. I guess if you have more than one category you can repeat that as required.
    I hope that helps. And I hope all that code shows up okay in this post. ??

    whoops, that’s index.php?order=ASC&cat=1 for your code. Sorry.

    Mags, thank you. You’re a site saver. This is the site you just saved. Now I can start filling it with content again. Did I mention that WordPress rules?
