Popis
DX Out of Date allows you to display a notification box on your posts
when a given amount of time has passed. Quite handy when writing tutorials
or any content that might get outdated due to external factors – now you
could automatically notify your readers after a given period.
You can configure the expiration time of your posts in the admin panel. Valid time units are days, months and years.
Currently the plugin options are:
- Period – „amount“ of „duration“ units (1 to 40)
- Duration frame (days, months, years)
- Message – the message format for the notification box
- Enable by default – a checkbox for enabling the message on all posts by default
- Enable post status in Dashboard – a checkbox for adding an extra column in the Dashboard for the outdated status of posts
- Post types to affect – allows you to choose which post types for display the message for
- Position of the message – choose whether the message should be displayed at the top or at the bottom of a post’s content
- Background color – Choose a background color for the message
- Text color – Choose a text color for the message
- Custom CSS – Add custom CSS rules to the message box

Nejčastější dotazy
-
How to configure the duration/period settings?
-
These are the options that define what an „outdated“ post means. For instance, selecting
months
inDuration frame
and6
inPeriod
means that every post older than 6 months would be qualified as „outdated“. -
Can I limit the message to show only on certain posts/post types?
-
From the Out of Date Settings page, you can choose which post types will have the outdated message (Default is Posts only).
In the Post Edit page you have a checkbox, which toggles the message for that specific post. The Default state of that checkbox can be changed
from the Plugin Settings page via the „Enable the message by default on all outdated posts“ checkbox. -
Can I customize the Outdated Message?
-
You can customize the content of the message from the „Message“ field in the Out of Date Settings page. On top of that, you can
change the Background and Text colors to your liking. -
Why would I need this plugin?
-
If you write tutorials or articles related to products/services in a given state,
updating them could affect the validity of your resources. A good example is one of
the resources that led to building the plugin – Brandon’s blog,
with his custom approach for marking tutorials as outdated.
