   Hi, I've been searching a lot for this, but I can't find it. I've tried to code it myself, but no luck.

   I would like to find a way of figuring out if a post is younger than 20 days. And than if it is younger I am going to post a small "NEW"-picture.

   I can do the picture thing myself with some if-else stuff, but the date part is tricky to me..

   How do I get the difference between CURRENT date and POST date, as a number in days, which then should be less than 20?

   Thanks in regards!

   You could use the php function strtotime()

   You can pass the function "-20 days" based on today. Then compare that with the timestamp from the post date in your IF statement.

   $current_post_date = get_the_date();//get date string for current post
   	if ( strtotime($current_post_date) > strtotime('-20 days') ){
   		echo "NEW POST!!";
   	}
