How to display current month’s posts only?

    In my index.php, I’d like to display only the current month’s posts, and if there are no posts in the current month, then keep going back a month until some posts are found.

    Here’s a first crack at it:

    This code goes in index.php just before the Loop starts:

    $m = date(‘m’);
    $y = date(‘Y’);
    query_posts(“monthnum=”.$m.”&”.”year=”.$y);
    while (!have_posts())
    {
    $m = $m-1;
    if ($m == 0)
    {
    $m = 12;
    $y = $y – 1;
    }
    query_posts(“monthnum=”.$m.”&”.”year=”.$y);
    }

    Any comments/suggestions welcome!

  • I know this is an age old problem for a lot of people.. I want the same thing but for a week, and I’ve not found a solution yet.

    I’ll mention it here – but if people think I should start a new thread I will.

    I run a magazine using wordpress – I currently use 1 day to show weekly posts, because we update once a week – however I really want to be able to update a few times over the week – but still have exactly 1 week’s (in calendar terms – not 7 days where there have been posts)

    If there is no posts in a week – I want the previous week in calendar terms to show up. If it helps I post all posts into an issue subcategory (of the issue date) which also represents a week’s issue.

    current week might be tricky… not sure if query_posts takes such an argument. But with a little research and some PHP code, you could do it. I’ve got enough on my hands at the moment… sorry I cannot offer an example.

    You might want to refer to an existing support thread on this issue.

    I had looked at that thread, but it was not very clear…

    The code I posted seems to be working, however…

    I borrowed this code, and I works well, but unfortunately, the code I have to offer up the “See More” (previous month) link isn’t working.

    UPDATE: Figured it out.
