From the **Parameters** section (Settings > WordPress Popular Posts): * > freshness – Tells WordPress Popular Posts to retrieve the most popular entries > published within the time range specified by you. * This will display the most viewed posts that where published within the last 12 hours: * `[wpp range="custom" time_unit="HOUR" time_quantity=12 limit=3]` * About your question: * > it’s possible to add in shortcode display only= postdate(“curdate” and 01/01/ > 2018″) or display= postdate :”last365 days” * No, I don’t have plans to add this at the moment. - This reply was modified 6 years, 6 months ago by [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/).

In my case limit the display (display) of items older than one year Currently with [wpp range = “custom” time_unit = “HOUR” time_quantity = 12 limit = 3] I have an article of 2019 (ok) – one of 2015 (no ok) and one of 2013 (no ok) I think for the old is the work of robot or infuencers thank you * PS But I see a change in your previous answers that says you have not planned for the moment * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-display-date/#post-12094840) * Hi [@narolles](https://wordpress.org/support/users/narolles/), good day! * If you want to display the most viewed posts within the last 12 hours that where published within the last 365 days (1 year), adding this to your theme’s `functions. php` file should do the trick: * ``` /** * Filters out popular posts that are older than the * specified time. * * @param string $where * @param array $options * @return string */ function wpp_filter_posts_by_age($where, $options){ if ( ! is_admin() ) { $where .= ' AND p.post_date >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 YEAR) '; } return $where; } add_filter('wpp_query_where', 'wpp_filter_posts_by_age'); ``` * Note the `INTERVAL 1 YEAR` part of the code. This tells WPP to exclude posts that where published over a year ago (365 days) from the current date. * Thread Starter [NAROLLES](https://wordpress.org/support/users/narolles/) * (@narolles) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-display-date/#post-12095554) * Hello Hector Thanks again for your responsiveness, My remarks are only constructive and respectful Concenacting the shortcode I am not as expert as you …. What should I add in the shortcode for the filter by age in function php is ok Thank you * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-display-date/#post-12095572) * Nothing, leave the shortcode as you have it. The PHP code will filter out posts older than a year for you automatically 🙂 * Thread Starter [NAROLLES](https://wordpress.org/support/users/narolles/) * (@narolles) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-display-date/#post-12095655) * in this case the php function does not work I guess it will be applicable for the whole site? * Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function wpp_filter_posts_by_age(), 1 passed in wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 288 and exactly 2 expected in wp-content/themes/oceanwp-child-theme-master/functions.php:281 Stack trace:# 0 wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(288): wpp_filter_posts_by_age(‘WHERE 1 = 1 AND…’)# 1 wp-includes/plugin.php(208): WP_Hook->apply_filters(‘WHERE 1 = 1 AND…’, Array)# 2 wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Query.php(463): apply_filters(‘ wpp_query_where’, ‘WHERE 1 = 1 AND…’, Array) #3 wp-content/plugins/wordpress- popular-posts/src/Query.php(53): WordPressPopularPosts\Query->build_query() # 4 wp-content/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/src/Front/Front.php(418): WordPressPopularPosts\ Query->__construct(Array) #5 /home/jar * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-display-date/#post-12095775) * Ah, my bad! * Please change: * `add_filter('wpp_query_where', 'wpp_filter_posts_by_age');` * into: * `add_filter('wpp_query_where', 'wpp_filter_posts_by_age', 10, 2);` * Thread Starter [NAROLLES](https://wordpress.org/support/users/narolles/) * (@narolles) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-display-date/#post-12096025) * Thank you I made the change it seems to work, side backend we see without the filter, frontend we see with filter thank you very much * Plugin Author [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * (@hcabrera) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-display-date/#post-12096032) * No problem, glad I could help 🙂 Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) The topic ‘Shortcode display date’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wordpress-popular-posts/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1232659) * [WP Popular Posts](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-popular-posts/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-popular-posts/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-popular-posts/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-popular-posts/reviews/) ## Tags * [range](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/range/) * [shortcode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/shortcode/) * [time](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/time/) * 11 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Hector Cabrera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hcabrera/) * Last activity: [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-display-date/#post-12096032) * Status: resolved
