How to: Display today’s posts

If for some reason, you want to display only today’s posts on your blog homepage – or any other page – here’s a simple way to get theses posts and display it on your WordPress blog.

If you provide a lot of posts per days, it can be nice to display only today's posts on a separate page. To achieve this, we'll use the php date() function, and the WordPress query_posts() function.

Paste the following code where you want today's posts to be displayed:

$current_day = date('j');
query_posts('day='.$current_day);
if (have_posts()) :
     while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
         // WordPress loop
     endwhile;
endif; ?>

@byme: I don’t add screenshots, unless necessary. I don’t have much time and I must keep the standard “one day/one recipe”

This will actually give me all posts with the same day number…
If today’s Oct 13. Sept 13. posts are also returned.

Hi there

Thanks for this wonderful hack.

However, I’m having the same issue as Richard. It’s forcing my WordPress to display any posts made on the same day number.

Are there any fixes for this?

Thanks!
Harleigh
