# Exclude Posts Newer Than…

 * Is there a way to exclude posts newer than a a given date as in the published
   age of posts? I believe this is where it is being set in display-posts.php,
 *     ```
       // How old should the posts be?
       	if ( $args['how_old'] ) {
       		$where .= $wpdb->prepare( " AND $wpdb->posts.post_date > '%s' ", gmdate( 'Y-m-d H:m:s', $current_time - ( $args['how_old'] * DAY_IN_SECONDS ) ) );
       	}
       ```
   
 * To which I’ve tried adding the line
    `$where .= $wpdb->prepare( " AND $wpdb->
   posts.post_date > '%s' ", gmdate( 'Y-m-d H:m:s', $current_time - ( 2 * DAY_IN_SECONDS)));`
   unsuccessfully. Is there already a way that I have overlooked in the settings?
