is_time() │ WP 1.5.0

Determines whether the query is for a time-based archive page (page of posts for the specified time). A conditional tag.

It returns true when the request (in the URL) contains the archive time: hour, minute, second.

This function is a part of is_date() check, so in a logical chain is_time() should be used BEFORE is_date().

Uses: WP_Query::is_time()
1 time — 0.00008 sec (very fast) | 50000 times — 0.02 sec (speed of light)

No Hooks.

Returns

true|false. Whether the query is for a specific time.
