Description
Extending WordPress literary, documentary & archival potential, this plugin allows publishers to easily customize the publication year of posts & pages.
Installation
After installing and activating the plugin (https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins), visit Settings > Advanced Dates. There, publishers can chose to either adjust dates site-wide or on a page-by-page and post-by-post basis. If a publisher choses the latter, s/hell be able to selectively (de)activate the plugin, customize the annual differential, and (un)freeze dates on each page/posts editing screen.
Please note that the plugin will not take effect, even after activation, until a publisher chooses one of the two options in the Settings > Advanced Dates admin screen.

SH is very interested in the ways in which publishers use the Advanced Dates plugin. Please share ideas and usage notes in the comments section of the plugin URI: http://studiohyperset.com/wordpress-advanced-dates-plugin/4016
Also, the WordPress functions
get_the_time
andthe_time
work only on pages whileget_the_date
andthe_date
work only on posts. This is largely meaningless since developers can display the same date, time, and publication information using all four. Nevertheless, when developing a theme that builds on the Advanced Dates plugin, or trying to integrate the plugin into an existing theme, developers will want to keep these WordPress boundaries in mind.Moreover, if a publisher or developer finds the plugin isnt working for a particular theme, its likely the result of improper usage of one or more of the four date-oriented WordPress functions referenced above. For the Advanced Date plugin to work, developers need to use the
get_the_time
andthe_time
functions on pages and theget_the_date
andthe_date
functions on posts.Interested in helping develop the Advanced Dates plugin? Visit the GitHub repository: https://github.com/studiohyperset/advanced-dates
