 * Hey guys,
 * I was wondering if anybody knew of a way to retrieve the days post count?
 * So only a total number of posts made that current day.
 * Any kind of plugin or example I could look at before trying to build this plugin?
 * Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    Mario

 * Hey,
 * Thank you for the quick reply.
 * Unfortunately it seems that the code provides a count for the number of posts
   in the last 24 hours. This causes posts to be shown from the previous day until
   they have been around for 24 hours.
 * I’m trying to wrap my head around the formula and how we can make it only count
   the current days posts.
 * Here is the code if anybody wants a look at it…
 * [code]
    $today = date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); //Today's date $daysago = date("Y-m-d H:
   i:s",strtotime(date('Y-m-j H:i:s')) - (1 * 24 * 60 * 60)); //Today - 1 day
 * $numposts = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status
   = 'publish' AND post_date BETWEEN '$daysago' AND '$today'");
 * if ($numposts >0) {
    echo $numposts.' Wallpapers Added'; } else { echo "0 Wallpapers
   Added"; } [/code]
 * You have a beautiful website btw.
 * Oh and if you can update the code on the website to have a closing curly brace
   at the end that would save alot of headaches 🙂
 * Thanks,
    Mario
