自定义帖子类型即将发布的周和下个月的活动

Question

$todayDate = date('m/d/Y');
$futureDate = strtotime ( '+7 days' , strtotime ( $todayDate ) ) ;
$futureDate = date ( 'm/d/Y' , $futureDate );
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'events',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'event_category' => 'events',
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
        'key' => 'event_date',
        'compare' => '>=',
        'value' => $futureDate,
        )
        ),
    'meta_key' => 'event_date',
    'orderby' => 'meta_value',
    'order' => 'ASC',
);

I want to show the upcoming events for the next week or next month. I have this args array set but still giving me the post of yesterday's and not sorted as how i wanted. Also, how to get rid of yesterday's post in my query..

Answer 1

So if you want your args to limit events that fall between today and the future date, where future date is today +7 days.

Hence you want to modify your args to include another array with the following parameters. Try this:

//event_date >= $todayDate
//event_date <= $futureDate

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'events',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'event_category' => 'events',
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
        'key' => 'event_date',
        'compare' => '>=',
        'value' => $todayDate,
        ),
        array(
        'key' => 'event_date',
        'compare' => '<=',
        'value' => $futureDate,
        ), 
        ),
    'meta_key' => 'event_date',
    'orderby' => 'meta_value',
    'order' => 'ASC',
);
