# ‘same day’ navigation link on single.php?

 * I am trying to modify my ‘previous’ navigation link to use in another spot on
   my single.php page to show articles from ‘same day’
 *     ```
       function get_prev_post_by_sermon($link="« %link", $title="%title") {
               global $wpdb, $post;
               $prev = $wpdb->get_row($wpdb->prepare("SELECT ID, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type='xyz' AND post_status='publish' AND post_date < '".$post->post_date."' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 1;"));
               if($prev) {
                       $title = preg_replace('/%title/',$prev->post_title, $title);
                       echo preg_replace('/%link/', '<a href="'.get_permalink($prev->ID).'" rel="prev">'.$title.'</a>', $link);
               }
       }
       ```
   
 * No matter what I try to add to the post_date portion, I can’t seem to come up
   with a parameter to return values for the same day.
 * Is there a wp function for this?

 * to be clear…
 * I will create a new function using above code as example, to place a 3rd link
   on the single page called ‘same day’.
