This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a taxonomy that includes terms for each day of the week. I would like to filter posts in a View using the current day of the week, so that only posts tagged with the term for today are shown.
Solution: Taxonomy term filters do not allow any date criteria in wp-admin, so custom code is required. Assuming the term slugs are "monday", "tuesday", and so on through "sunday", add the following code in your child theme's functions.php file to filter a View by term based on the local current day of the week:
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'only_todays_posts',99,3 );
function only_todays_posts( $query_args,$views_settings, $view_id) {
if ($view_id == 12345){
$query_args = array(
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'day-of-the-week',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => strtolower(date('l')),
'operator' => 'IN'
),
),
);
}
return $query_args;
}
Replace 12345 with the numeric ID of your View, and replace day-of-the-week with the slug of your custom taxonomy. Nothing extra is needed in wp-admin.
