From the developer

Jonathan Bardo's own description of Date Range Filter, lightly tidied.

Note: This plugin requires PHP 5.3 or higher to be activated. 5.4 Strongly recommended.

A big shout-out to the Stream team for developing much of the functionnality of this plugin and letting me reuse it for another purposes. You guys rock!

This plugin was develop to supercharge the current date filter of WordPress admin. It will let you filter posts by a custom date range or by an already defined range.

By default the plugin only filters post creation date. If you would like to filter the post modified date, please use this filter:


function my_date_range_filter_query_column( $column ){
    return 'post_modified';
}
add_filter( 'date_range_filter_query_column', 'my_date_range_filter_query_column', 10, 1 );
