Wordpress Experts: How to list post on index page grouped by date - GoFuckYourself.com

tonyparra · 05-29-2011, 10:53 AM

Im so tired of seeing pornhub clones but one thing i like about xhamster.com is the list of new videos added by date. Check the homepage to see what i mean. How is this possible in Wordpress? I know its possible, how is the question...they are grouped by date anyways but i would like to make an xhamster style list...thoughts / suggestions?

Just do a great big poo...

It will probably work out in the end... If you sniff it...

Probably...

Enjoy your scum baggery. I hope you rot in hell.

And if you can't figure this out, reroll McDonalds.

what you want, is very simple instead of the_time() just use the_date() that way it will list posts by only printing the date the first time, then each post below. you just need to format your design to do so

yes that is correct unfortunately my theme use 4 post across so on a day that i have like 2 or 3 post the date shows up on the same row as the previous days post.

Example what it looks like if i have 4 or 8 post on a day:

May 1 2011
post - post - post - post

May 2 2011
post - post - post - post
post - post - post - post

But if i only 3 or if i have 5 or 6:

May 1 2011 May 2 2011
post1 - post2 - post3 post1 - post2

May 3 2011
post1 - post2 - post3 - post4

So what im trying to say i wish that i could make so that the date would print the same way no matter how many post like xhamster or craigslist do. I cant figuire should this be done with css or php, the solutions i found were php but they were mostly incomplete or contained errors.

javascript the date.. Or php

its more of a css issue than a php one.

the_date() will only print the date, and each post below. so you need to take your design, and modify it so it properly formats the date section.
