Does a feature like this exist?

    Hi,

    I don’t have too much experience with wordpress but I was wondering if there was a feature or plugin that allows the admin to enter a date and then have that post(s) show up in certain prominent area of the site just for that date.

    Here’s an example: say I have a basketball blog previewing upcoming games. I might post a few write ups a few days ahead of time but want game posts the day they’re being played to be featured on the site. So there would be a section of the page that highlights the posts about games being played today. Then tomorrow the site would automatically highlight posts showing tomorrow’s game posts.

    Thanks for any help!

    If you set the post date to the future they’ll be treated as scheduled posts and will only appear when that date arrives. This is already built in.

    fonglh, thanks, I do know about that. I’m looking for a feature that will just highlight the already posted entry just on a certain day.

    davidbritt76, seriously? I can’t believe you wasted your life writing that. God forbid we try to automate things.

    You could look at using custom fields

    Or check if a post is posted today with this in the loop:

    $today = date('Ymd');
$post_date = date('Ymd', strtotime($post->post_date));
if($post_date == $today) {
// do stuff for posts posted today
}
