## Description
This simple WordPress plugin displays a message in any single post that has been published x years ago from the current time or earlier. The default time to count back is 1 year.

* German (de_DE)
* Formal German (de_DE_formal)
## Installation
If you don’t know how to install a plugin for WordPress, [here’s how](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/manage-plugins/#installing-plugins-1).
## 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:
```css
/* 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/Zodiac1978/aged-content-message/tree/v1.3), like for this conditional handbrake that doesn’t have a setting (yet):
```php
/* 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' );
```
