Shortcode display date

Hi @narolles,

There’s already a parameter to have the [wpp] shortcode list posts that were published within a specific time range: freshness. From the Parameters section (Settings > WordPress Popular Posts):

freshness – Tells WordPress Popular Posts to retrieve the most popular entries published within the time range specified by you.

This will display the most viewed posts that where published within the last 12 hours:

[wpp range="custom" time_unit="HOUR" time_quantity=12 limit=3]

About your question:

it’s possible to add in shortcode display only= postdate(“curdate” and 01/01/2018″) or display= postdate :”last365 days”

No, I don’t have plans to add this at the moment.

thanks a lot for your reactivity

it’s ok with range “weekly” but doesn’t work for “today” ou “custom” “hour” (my example)
my problem is for the display (order views) but not old post (date) (publish date) (more one year for example)
thanks

(…) doesn’t work for “today” (…)

today isn’t a valid time range value. Please check the documentation of the range parameter via Settings > WordPress Popular Posts > Parameters for the complete list of available time range options.

(…) ou “custom” “hour” (my example)

That’s odd. I’ll have a look at the code tomorrow and see what’s going on.

Hello hector
To be precise it is not the range of time (range) to select the articles which poses problem but a range of time whose articles must not appear in the results. In my case limit the display (display) of items older than one year
Currently with
[wpp range = “custom” time_unit = “HOUR” time_quantity = 12 limit = 3]
I have an article of 2019 (ok) – one of 2015 (no ok) and one of 2013 (no ok)
I think for the old is the work of robot or infuencers
thank you

PS But I see a change in your previous answers that says you have not planned for the moment

Hi @narolles, good day!

If you want to display the most viewed posts within the last 12 hours that where published within the last 365 days (1 year), adding this to your theme’s functions.php file should do the trick:

/**
 * Filters out popular posts that are older than the
 * specified time.
 *
 * @param  string $where
 * @param  array  $options
 * @return string
 */
function wpp_filter_posts_by_age($where, $options){
    if ( ! is_admin() ) {
        $where .= ' AND p.post_date >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 YEAR) ';
    }

    return $where;
}
add_filter('wpp_query_where', 'wpp_filter_posts_by_age');

Note the INTERVAL 1 YEAR part of the code. This tells WPP to exclude posts that where published over a year ago (365 days) from the current date.

Hello Hector
Thanks again for your responsiveness,
My remarks are only constructive and respectful
Concenacting the shortcode
I am not as expert as you ….
What should I add in the shortcode for the filter by age
in function php is ok
Thank you

Nothing, leave the shortcode as you have it. The PHP code will filter out posts older than a year for you automatically ??

in this case the php function does not work
I guess it will be applicable for the whole site?

Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function wpp_filter_posts_by_age(), 1 passed in wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 288 and exactly 2 expected in wp-content/themes/oceanwp-child-theme-master/functions.php:281

Ah, my bad!

Please change:

add_filter('wpp_query_where', 'wpp_filter_posts_by_age');

into:

add_filter('wpp_query_where', 'wpp_filter_posts_by_age', 10, 2);

Thank you
I made the change
it seems to work,
side backend we see without the filter,
frontend we see with filter
thank you very much

No problem, glad I could help ??
