I'm trying to find a way how to have a simple conditional whereby I can echo something depending on whether the post date is in the first half or last half of the post date year.

• And what have you tried so far? See wordpress.stackexchange/help/how-to-ask. You're basically looking at extracting the MM out of YYYYMMDD, convert to int, and check if greater than 6. – anmari Commented Dec 7, 2018 at 7:03

Are you thinking of something like this?

if ( have_posts() ) {
    while ( have_posts() ) {
        the_post(); 
        if ( absint( get_the_date( 'n' ) ) <= 6 ) {
            // First half of year
            ...
        } else {
            // Second half of year
            ...
        }
    }
}

I found this elsewhere and it worked for me...

if( (int)get_the_time( 'm' ) <= 6 ) {
    echo 'Some time between January and June.';
} else {
    echo 'Some time between July and December.';
}
