# date conditional (help!?)

 * i am stumped. :-/
    i am trying to add a conditional for my posts stating basically
   the following:
 * if this post was entered more than 2 weeks ago then do nothing.
 * if it is newer than 2 weeks ago then echo “new”.
 * i for the life of me cannot figure it out.
    surely someone can help me with this
   one? i am sure it’s basic php.
 * here is the code that it will reside in:
 * <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class=”
   thumb”> “><?php the_excerpt(); ?> <span class=”thumbClient”><?php the_title();?
   ></span> <div class=”newPost”>
 * //new post conditional here
 * </div>
    </div> <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

 * Change the “conditional” if statement to:
 * `if($days_since <= 14) :`

 * It’s at the end of the link. But… This would go where your “//new post conditional
   here” is:
 * `<?php
    $days_since = floor((date('U') - get_the_time('U')) / 86400); if($days_since
   <= 14) : ?> ~ This displays if post 14 days or newer ~ <?php endif; ?>

 * works like a charm! – THANK YOU!!
