The default time to count back is 1 year. Minimal post age as well as message text, HTML, and CSS are [fully customizable via settings](//wordpress.org/plugins/aged-content-message/faq/). = Languages = * English (en_US) _(default)_ * German (de_DE) * Formal German (de_DE_formal) == Installation == If you don’t know how to install a plugin for WordPress, [here’s how](http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins). == Frequently Asked Questions == = I can’t find the settings page, where is it? = **It’s right there, under General Settings in your admin menu.** Configurable settings are: * __Activate Message__: By default, no message will show up on your website until you activate it here. * __Minimal Post Age__: Set a number of years for posts to be considered aged. Default: 1. * __Message Heading__: Heading text. Default: _The times, they are a-changin’_. (Dylan, google him.) * __Message Body (Singular)__: Singular form of the message text, for 1 year-old posts. * __Message Body (Plural)__: Plural form of the message text, for 2+ year-old posts. * __Message Class Attribute__: CSS class name(s) applied upon the message’s wrapping `
`. * __Message HTML__: HTML template for the message. You can completely control its output via this field if you want, or use placeholders for heading and text. * __Message CSS__: Customize the visual styling of your message right here. Or not. = Can I disable default styles? = Sure, just empty the _CSS_ field and no styles shall be applied. If you want to add styles to your theme instead, this might get you started: `/* Default styles */ .aged-content-message { background: #f7f7f7; border-left: 5px solid #f39c12; font-family: inherit; font-size: .875rem; line-height: 1.5; margin: 1.5rem 0; padding: 1.5rem; } .aged-content-message h5 { font-family: inherit; font-size: .8125rem; font-weight: bold; line-height: 2; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-transform: uppercase; } .aged-content-message p { margin: 0; padding: 0; }` = Where have all the filters gone? = You can still use those good old filters from [v1.3](https://github.com/glueckpress/aged-content-message/tree/v1.3), like for this conditional handbrake that doesn’t have a setting (yet): `/* Set condition for displaying message to include pages. */ function yourprefix_aged_content_message__the_content_condition() { return ! is_single() && ! is_page(); } add_action( 'aged_content_message__the_content_condition', 'yourprefix_aged_content_message__the_content_condition' );` == Screenshots == 1. “The times, they are a-chagin’”: Message on a single post view informing about content that might be outdated. 2.
