   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.
