Display Published Posts Between Two Dates

Snippets by IsItWP

Are you looking for a way to display published posts between two dates or last year posts? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to display published posts between two dates in WordPress.

Instructions:

All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s sidebar.php file:

<?php
  function filter_where($where = '') {
        $where .= " AND post_date >= '1980-05-11' AND post_date <= '2011-05-11'";
    return $where;
  }
add_filter('posts_where', 'filter_where');
query_posts($query_string);
while (have_posts()) :
      the_post();
      the_content();
endwhile;
?>
