get_posts no older than X days - Wordpress
As of 3.7 you can use date_query https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#date-parameters
So it would look like:
$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'post_type' => 'post', 'orderby' => 'comment_count', 'order' => 'DESC', 'date_query' => array( 'after' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-10 days')) )); $posts = get_posts($args);
The exemple from the doc should work just fine. get_posts() uses WP_Query() behind the scene to make the actual request. For your case the modified example should look something like this:
// Create a new filtering function that will add our where clause to the queryfunction filter_where( $where = '' ) { // posts in the last 30 days $where .= " AND post_date > '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-10 days')) . "'"; return $where;}add_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );$query = get_posts(array ( 'numberposts' => 5, 'orderby'=>'comment_count', 'order'=>'DESC', 'post_type' => array ( 'post' ) ));remove_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );
