 * I’m trying to insert the curdate function into the code below so that once this
   particular category of posts is older than the current date, they’re not displayed.
   Has anyone had experience with this or can offer any help/advice?
 *     ```
       <?php $the_query = new WP_Query('cat=25' .$catid. ',-' .$catid2. '&showposts=5&orderby=post_date&order=desc');
       			while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
       $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>
       ```
