Wordpress question.

Hey guys got a Wordpress question. I'd be grateful for some help.

Hello,

I have a function i run on my single.php at the bottom of the page like so.

<?php echo display_message() ?>

I dont want to run the function if its on the most recent post.

I've had a go myself with

$getlatestpost = get_posts('numberposts=1&order=DESC&orderby=post_date');
$latestpostid = $getlatestpost ->ID;

If $post->ID == $latestpostid;
echo display_message();
else;
/* do nothing */
endif;

but its not working, can anyone help?

 

Try this: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/...ess-post-id-outside-the-loop-as-php-variable/

 

Hey, i've had a look there, i don't think it explains how to get the id using get_post to get the latest post.

If i could compare the latest post number with the current post tha'd be fine.

 

It does.

You can get the current post's ID with $post->ID. Once you do that, compare it with the latest post's ID with $post->ID ORDER BY post_date ASC LIMIT 1. If they don't match, it means that the current post isn't the latest one.
