The WP Post of the Day<\/strong> plugin allows you to display a new post once a day.<\/p>\n\n

Using this plugin is simple:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Install the plugin<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin<\/li>\n
  3. On the page or post where you want to have a post display, add the [wp_post_of_the_day]<\/code> shortcode where you want your post to appear.<\/li>\n
  4. Save your changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Features<\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    • Works with custom post types<\/li>\n
    • No settings page, just an easy way for you to show a daily post on your site<\/li>\n
    • Clean, well written code that won't bog down your site<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n

      Prerequisites<\/h4>\n\n

      If you don't meet the below requirements, I highly recommend you upgrade your WordPress install or move to a web host\nthat supports a more recent version of PHP.<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • Requires WordPress version 4.5 or greater<\/li>\n
      • Requires PHP version 5.3 or greater<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        The Easy Way<\/h4>\n\n
          \n
        1. In your WordPress admin, go to 'Plugins' and then click on 'Add New'.<\/li>\n
        2. In the search box, type in 'WP Post of the Day' and hit enter. This plugin should be the first and likely the only result.<\/li>\n
        3. Click on the 'Install' link.<\/li>\n
        4. Once installed, click the 'Activate this plugin' link.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

          The Hard Way<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          1. Download the .zip file containing the plugin.<\/li>\n
          2. Upload the file into your \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory and unzip<\/li>\n
          3. Find the plugin in the WordPress admin on the 'Plugins' page and click 'Activate'<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

            The [wp_post_of_the_day]<\/code> shortcode supports a few attributes to give you more control over the results:<\/p>\n\n

              \n

            • author<\/strong> - Provide an author ID or a comma-separated list of author IDs if you want to limit the selected posts to one of those authors. Example: [wp-post-of-the-day author=\"1, 11, 14\"]<\/code><\/p><\/li>\n

            • not<\/strong> - Provide a comma-separated list of post IDs to exclude. Example: [wp-post-of-the-day not=\"3, 456, 876\"]<\/code><\/p><\/li>\n

            • post_type<\/strong> - Provide a post type or a comma-separated list of post types to pull from. You must use the internal post type name. Default is post<\/code>. Example: [wp-post-of-the-day post_type=\"page\"]<\/code><\/p><\/li>\n

            • search<\/strong> - Provide a custom search term to limit the selected posts returned. Example: [wp-post-of-the-day search=\"relativity\"]<\/code><\/p><\/li>\n

            • taxonomy<\/strong> - Provide a custom taxonomy to pull from. Requires the terms<\/code> attribute to be set as well. Example: [wp-post-of-the-day taxonomy=\"post_tag\" terms=\"2,4\"]<\/code><\/p><\/li>\n

            • terms<\/strong> - Provide a term ID or comma-separated list of term IDs to limit the selected posts returned. Requires the taxonomy<\/code> attribute to be set as well. Example: [wp-post-of-the-day taxonomy=\"post_tag\" terms=\"2,4\"]<\/code><\/p><\/li>\n

            • class<\/strong> - Provide a custom class name for the wrapping HTML div. Example: [wp-post-of-the-day class=\"my-custom-class\"]<\/code><\/p><\/li>\n

            • size<\/strong> - Provide a registered image size to use for image display (optional, only takes effect if images are being shown). Example: [wp-post-of-the-day size=\"thumbnail\"]<\/code><\/p><\/li>\n

            • show<\/strong> - Provide a comma-separated list of post elements to display. You can also use a vertical pipe |<\/code> character instead of a comma to separate items into columns. Options are: title, image, excerpt, content. Defaults to title, image, excerpt<\/code>. Items will show in the order you provide. Note: If images are shown, only posts with featured images will be returned. Example: [wp-post-of-the-day show=\"title, image\"]<\/code><\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

              Keep in mind that any of these attributes can be combined as needed. Example: [wp-post-of-the-day author=\"19\" size=\"full\" not=\"2310\"]<\/code>. Also, keep in mind that the shortcode can be used in text widgets.<\/p>\n\n\n
