Trouble applying curdate to a statement

daveFCA

I'm trying to insert the curdate function into the code below so that once this particular category of posts is older than the current date, they're not displayed. Has anyone had experience with this or can offer any help/advice?

And it's presented onto a Wordpress site if that helps?

<?php $the_query = new WP_Query('cat=25' .$catid. ',-' .$catid2. '&showposts=5&orderby=post_date&order=desc');
while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

would need to see the the WP_Querry class to have a chance of answering this.

I hope this is what's needed, sorry for being a little vague with this but I do appreciate anyone who takes a look...

function &query_posts($query) {
	unset($GLOBALS['wp_query']);
	$GLOBALS['wp_query'] =& new WP_Query();
	return $GLOBALS['wp_query']->query($query);
}

<?php $the_query = new WP_Query('cat=1' .$catid. ',-' .$catid2. '&showposts=4&orderby=post_date&order=desc');
while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

nope, does not help at all, what's this code from in the first place?

It's from a Wordpress theme, I'm new to PHP and am trying to work my through it.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with Wordpress but what I'm trying to do is modify one of my post categories to remove posts that are older than the current day, because this category is for events and it's pointless advertising past events.

I've checked the Wordpress forums and plugins but have had no luck there...

you would be much better of asking on a Wordpress specific site.
