Share the post "Create a Shortcode for Modified Posts"
With this tutorial, we will create a shortcode that will fetch the most recent posts or post types.
In our example, we will fetch the posts edited in the last 15 days.
However, we will display all published posts in the last 15 days. Afterward, we will tweak our query to adapt it to edited/modified posts.
Displaying posts published in the last 15 days
/**************************** Last Posts 15 days ********************************/
add_shortcode( 'lastaddoposts', 'addo_list_posts_publied' );
function addo_list_posts_publied(){
$date_range = strtotime ( '-15 day' );
// Custom WP query query
$args = array(
'post_type' => array('post'),
'post_status' => 'publish',
'order' => 'DESC',
'date_query' => array(
array(
'after' => array(
'year' => date('Y', $date_range ),
'month' => date('m', $date_range ),
'day' => date('d', $date_range ),
),
)
)
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
echo '<ul style="padding:0">';
if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
$query->the_post();
echo '<div class="col-md-3" style="display:inline-block;">';
echo '<li style="position:relative">';
echo '<a style="display:block;background-color: #490b3d;padding: 10px 25px;color: white;" href="' . get_the_permalink() . '">';
echo the_title();
echo'</a>';
echo '<span style="padding:0px 5px;background:#f1b814;color:white;position:absolute;top:-10px;right:0;font-size:11px">' . get_the_time('d-m-Y') . '</span>';
echo '</li>';
echo '</div>';
}
}
else {
echo 'Il n'y a eu aucune publication ces dernières semaines';
}
wp_reset_postdata();
echo '</ul>';
}Shortcode within pages
[lastaddoposts]
Shortcode within templates
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[lastaddoposts]' ); ?>
We will now adapt our query and display the last modified posts within the last 15 days.
