How to show posts published in current month?

You will have to query the loop with a query: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Time_Parameters

<?php
  $month = date('n');
  $query = new WP_Query( 'monthnum=' . $month);
  ?>

Thanks for this!

I got it working using the following code but when i try to exclude a certain category of posts from showing (category with an id of 24 in this case), it ignores the category part. Am i missing something in the code?

<?php
$month = date(‘n’);
$query = new WP_Query( ‘monthnum=’ . $month, ‘cat=-24’);
?>

<?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>

try with this:
$query = new WP_Query( 'cat=-24&monthnum=' . $month);

Fantastic!

Thanks very much for all your help.
