show previous date

Hello,

If you want to show the previous day always you can use:

[wp-dt-date days=”-1″] will show your precious date in the current WordPress format e.g. m/d/Y for US
[wp-dt-weekday-name days=”-1″] will show full weekday name e.g. Monday
[wp-dt-weekday-name-short days=”-1″] will show the short weekday name e.g. Mon

For earlier days just change days attribute to whatever you need: -2, -5, -10, etc.

If you need other date format you may use the custom item format:
[wp-dt-custom format=”” days=”-1″]
and in the format attribute use the formatting letters from the PHP date() function which you can find here: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Please see the examples in the description of the plugin too.

I appreciate it with the quick response however when putting the shortcode in [wp-dt-weekday-name days=”-1″] it just gives me the current day of the week ?? any other ideas

Hello,

The problem is that you have copied the code above and it is damaged by the forum system and due to some reason the straight quotes of the attributes are automatically changed to 2 different types. Please change the quotes to straight ones as you type them yourself in the page. The plugin works fine with the correct quotes.

You should use [wp-dt-weekday-name days="-1"] with straight quotes. (I am trying to use the [code] button in reply to solve the issue with the conversion.)
