I'm working on my own theme. On a single page I want to show links to the archives of the previous and next months. However, if that month contains no posts, I don't want to link to it. How can I check of a certain month has posts or not?
This code for example gives me a link to the previous month.
get_month_link(get_the_time('Y'), get_the_time('m')-1)
If that month contains no posts, the link redirects to a 404-page. I'd rather not show the link at all.
What about using the template tag, wp_get_archives(), with the type=monthly argument?
If necessary, look at the query_posts article for time parameters that would allow you to get posts for a given month:
$month_posts=query_posts(year=20097monthnum=4');
if ($month_posts) {
//there's posts for april 2009
}
