is_day() WP 1.5.0

Determines whether a day archive page is shown (example.com/2009/08/05) — page with posts for a specific day. A conditional tag.

No Hooks.

Return

true/false. Whether the query is for an existing day archive.

Usage

if( is_day() ){
	// ...
}

Examples

#1 Display text only on day archive pages

if( is_day() ){
	echo "This page is a page for 2019/08/15 [and link to example.com/2009/08/15]";
}

#2 Use of is_date() and is_day() together in if/else statements

if( is_day() )
	echo 'This is a day archive page.';
elseif( is_date() )
	echo 'This is a date archive page, for any date.';
else
	echo 'This is not a date archive page';

So is_archive() should follow is_day(), otherwise is_day() condition will never occur.

Notes

• Global. WP_Query. $wp_query WordPress Query object.
