Today's blog posts ONLY on front page of my blog

See https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Time_Parameters

Thanks. So, what I want to do is create a Page using this time parameter, and point toe front page to this new Page.

$today = getdate();
$query = new WP_Query( 'year=' . $today["year"] . '&monthnum=' . $today["mon"] . '&day=' . $today["mday"] );

Exactly where on the Page I’ll create (Ill call it “today.php’) should i insert this parameter?

Again, thanks for all your help.

Just before the start of the Loop.

Thank you!!!

Ok, I have ONE question:

Exactly where does the LOOP start on this index page:

<div id="content">

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<a href="https://blogpeoria.com/"><div align="center"><img src="https://blogpeoria.com/files/2012/04/blogpeoriabanner.png" width="550"></div></a><br>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

			<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<h2 class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php printf(__('Permanent Link to %s', 'f2'), the_title_attribute('echo=0')); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
				<div class="postmetadata">
				<?php if(f2_option('show_author') == 'on') : ?>
				<?php _e('Posted by', 'f2'); ?> <span class="postauthor"><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></span> <?php _e('on', 'f2'); ?> ...

Thanks. Dumb question, I know …

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

So, forgive me for being dense, but is THIS what I have to add right above The Loop?

<?php

// The Query

$today = getdate();
$query = new WP_Query( 'year=' . $today["year"] . '&monthnum=' . $today["mon"] . '&day=' . $today["mday"] );

// The Loop
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
	echo '<li>';
	the_title();
	echo '</li>';
endwhile;

// Reset Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();

?>

Yes.

if you want to use this with the code from https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/todays-blog-posts-only-on-front-page-of-my-blog?replies=9#post-2727222 then try to add just this section before this line <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>:

<?php $today = getdate();
queryposts( 'year=' . $today["year"] . '&monthnum=' . $today["mon"] . '&day=' . $today["mday"] . '&posts_per_page=-1' );
?>

if you do this in index.php or if you need to create a home.php depends on your theme and how it uses index.php.

possibly wrap the query into a conditional statement:

<?php if( is_home() ) :
$today = getdate();
queryposts( 'year=' . $today["year"] . '&monthnum=' . $today["mon"] . '&day=' . $today["mday"] . '&posts_per_page=-1' );
endif; ?>

Boy. each time I add that line, it breaks my blog. The blog stops rendering when it reached that line of code.

whereever you add whatever code, please make sur eto take care of the php tags; i.e. be aware if you are adding the code into an already open php tag, or if you need to open a new php tag.

do you get any error message?

what is the total code of that template?

Here is is:

[62 lines of code moderated as per the Forum Rules. The maximum number of lines of code that you can post in these forums is ten lines. Please use the pastebin]

I’m sorry, this didn’t come through. You can look at the page’s entire code here:

All the php tags are closed. I am not getting any error messages. It’s just that when I pate ANY Query code before the Look, the page stops rendering.
