As the title says, I am trying to create a filter that will find posts published between right now and 10 minutes ago but it's not working 🙁

I'm uploading a screenshot of my filter, can you tell me where I am going wrong?

[Bobby339]

also... how does it work with the hour changing and/or the day changing? If it's really complex, don't worry about it.

Hi Bobby

Those settings for filtering post published date are tricky and in my experience it's not possible to set up such a filter for "since" type queries such as since 10 minutes ago.

It is easier to just use the Views API and add a date_query argument, which accepts a very flexible textual comparison.

Try the following, after editing the ID of your View.

function tssupp_filter_query($view_args, $view_settings, $view_id)
{
    if (in_array($view_id, array(123))) { // Edit 123 for your View ID
 
        $view_args['date_query'] = array(
            'after'     =>  '10 minutes ago',
            'column'    =>  'post_modified'
        );
    }
    return $view_args;
}
add_filter('wpv_filter_query', 'tssupp_filter_query', 101, 3);

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
