While designing new theme for SmashinGeeks, we have come across a piece of code which allows you to display the most commented articles/posts withing a specific date, be it monthly or be it weekly. You can display it with ease with the following code.

What you have to do is simply copy the code below where you want to display the Most Commented Post of the Month, most probably in the sidebar widgets or content box.

<?php function filter_where($where = '') {  $where .= " AND post_date > '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-7 days')) . "'";  return $where; } add_filter('posts_where', 'filter_where'); query_posts('post_type=post&posts_per_page=5&orderby=comment_count&order=DESC'); while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?> <li> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> </li> <?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>

You can change the -30 days to -7 days to display Most Commented posts of the Week. The code for Most Commented Posts of the Week is.

<?php function filter_where($where = '') {  $where .= " AND post_date > '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-30 days')) . "'";  return $where; } add_filter('posts_where', 'filter_where'); query_posts('post_type=post&posts_per_page=5&orderby=comment_count&order=DESC'); while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?> <li> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> </li> <?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>

Code Explanation

This is a very simple code, we have created a filter function which returns all the content of previous 30 days of your blog. then query starts which is ordered by Comment Count, so it will display Most commented Posts, and then we display the post title and the end the loop.
