Summery Summery

Retrieve post published or modified time as a DateTimeImmutable object instance.

Syntax Syntax

get_post_datetime( int|WP_Post $post = null, string $field = 'date', string $source = 'local' )

Description Description

The object will be set to the timezone from WordPress settings.

For legacy reasons, this function allows to choose to instantiate from local or UTC time in database. Normally this should make no difference to the result. However, the values might get out of sync in database, typically because of timezone setting changes. The parameter ensures the ability to reproduce backwards compatible behaviors in such cases.

Parameters Parameters

$post

(Optional) WP_Post object or ID. Default is global $post object.

Default value: null

$field

(Optional) Published or modified time to use from database. Accepts 'date' or 'modified'. Default 'date'.

Default value: 'date'

$source

(Optional) Local or UTC time to use from database. Accepts 'local' or 'gmt'. Default 'local'.

Default value: 'local'

Return Return

(DateTimeImmutable|false) Time object on success, false on failure.
