Filter posts by date

[Mel]

Hi,

I have made a adjusment for this plugin, so that you can filter posts by date. Off course, this is at YOUR OWN RISK and has no further filtering by post type.
Also remember that this adjustment is gone when you update the plugin (maybe the author can add this?)!
Maybe someone can use this if they need it.

wp-content/plugins/wp-masonry-layout/includes/admin/shortcode/wml_add_edit_shortcode.php
Around line 170 I added:

                    <tr>
                        <td>Date from</td>
                        <td>
                            <input type="date" maxlength="10" placeholder="yyyy-mm-dd" name="wmlo_date_from" value="<?php echo wml_fill_up_form($shortcodeDetails, 'wmlo_date_from'); ?>" class="medium date" />
                        </td>
                    </tr>

                    <tr>
                        <td>Date to</td>
                        <td>
                            <input type="date" maxlength="10" placeholder="yyyy-mm-dd" name="wmlo_date_to" value="<?php echo wml_fill_up_form($shortcodeDetails, 'wmlo_date_to'); ?>" class="medium date" />
                        </td>
                    </tr>

Around line 143 I added:

                ),
            );

            $query_arg['date_query'] = $dateArray;
        }

wp-content/plugins/wp-masonry-layout/includes/admin/shortcode/wml_shortcodes.php
Around line 25 I added:

'wmlo_date_from' => $_POST['wmlo_date_from'],
'wmlo_date_to' => $_POST['wmlo_date_to'],

Again, this is at YOUR OWN RISK!! I am not responsible for any damage or issues you encounter doing this.

Hi Mel,

Really a great addition. Thank you so much for it.

However, i will wait for some other users to ask for this features. And if we can have more, then we will keep this in upcoming release.

Thanks 🙂

[Mel]

You are welcome 😉 If you need any help, let me know.
