Thanks, Stephen, that’s good news. I really appreciate the speedy response, and the great documentation and tutorials, etc. I’m looking forward to getting to grips with EO and replacing my old event calendar plugin!

No, I’m sorry. I have used just the [wpquery] shortcode to get the effect I wanted. I realise this thread is on the Display Posts Shortcode, which has many nice built-in formatting features whereas Shaun’s WP Query Shortcode plugin provides the barest minimum out of the box, but I got the formatting I personally wanted easily enough with a tiny custom shortcode and some CSS. I’m a WordPress newbie but the theory of separating querying for posts and formatting the list into two plugins mentioned in the [wpquery] shortcode documentation made sense to me.

(FWIW, the simple output I wanted using [wpquery]: see “Other posts this month” box here.)

I’ve used Shaun’s WP Query Shortcode to achieve what I wanted. It actually made it very easy to do what I needed this time, but as it’s extensible and I think could be upgraded quite simply to support the new WordPress 3.7 date_query options, it’ll do a lot more too.

To get the lists of posts in my October monthly review post, I’ve just got:
[wpquery year="2013" monthnum="10" order="ASC"] [my-own-item-shortcode] [/wpquery]

Sorry, I guess I’m missing something, because the example Return posts from January 1st to February 28th seems to have a single date_query fetching a range.
Thanks for the filter_where link.

I was looking at the Codex, specifically:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Date_Parameters

Thanks for the quick reply!

Does the new WP_Query date_query in 3.7 help? The before/after example in the doc sounds like what I want… If I knew how to get from there to a shortcode I could use in my posts, which I don’t. ??

This plugin looks great, but I think this feature is what I need too. I’ve been searching everywhere for a shortcode to insert into a post a list of links to all posts between specified start and end date/times.

Does this make sense?

If I could combine this with being able to format the list, choosing to include/exclude categories, etc. that’d be even better.

If the date range supported relative times, to viewing-date (today) and current-post-date, that’d be an extra bonus.

Thanks!

Hi Bill,

+1 for being able to specify specific date ranges, e.g. all posts between two specific dates (my use case is “all posts in a particular month” to go into a monthly review post), as well as relative (most recent, future, …) ones.

Is this sort of thing possible now 3.7 is out?

Thanks!
