Could you tell me what is wrong with this conditional to show something if a post is less than 7 days old? [wpv-post-date format="U"][wpv-conditional if="( '([wpv-post-date format="u"]+(7*24*60*60))' gt 'NOW()' )"]NEW[/wpv-conditional]
Hi,
During troubleshooting, I noticed two issues with the conditional block that you've shared:
1. The small 'u' was used in the format attribute and not the capital 'U', which represents the UNIX timestamp.

2. The sum and multiplication operation can't be performed within the conditional evaluation.
To achieve this you can register a custom shortcode that can return the post date with the addition of 7 days. For example:
add_shortcode('seven_day_check', 'seven_day_check_func');
function seven_day_check_func() {
$post_date = do_shortcode('[wpv-post-date format="U"]');
$post_date_plus_7 = intval($post_date)+ intval(7*24*60*60);
return $post_date_plus_7;
}
The above code snippet can be included through either Toolset's custom code feature ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/ ) or through active theme's "functions.php" file.
Next, please add "seven_day_check" in the "Third-party shortcode arguments" section, at WP Admin -> Toolset -> Settings -> Front-end Content.
After that, you'll be able to use this new shortcode in a conditional check, like this:
[wpv-conditional if="( '[seven_day_check]' gt 'NOW()' )"]NEW[/wpv-conditional]

Thanks. I didn't understand that it was not possible to evaluate in a condition.
