Title: Advanced Dates Author: Studio Hyperset Published: September 1, 2011 Last modified: April 3, 2020 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/advanced-dates/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=1721678) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/advanced-dates/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1032692) # Advanced Dates By [Studio Hyperset](https://profiles.wordpress.org/studiohyperset/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/advanced-dates.1.0.1.zip) * [Details](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-dates/#description) * [Reviews](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-dates/#reviews) * [Installation](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-dates/#installation) * [Development](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-dates/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/advanced-dates/) ## 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/he’ll be able to selectively (de)activate the plugin, customize the annual differential, and (un)freeze dates on each page/post’s 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. ## FAQ Links * For feedback and help, visit: http://getsatisfaction.com/studio_hyperset/products/ studio_hyperset_wordpress_plugins * To learn about other Studio Hyperset WordPress plugins, visit http://studiohyperset. com/#solutions * To help develop the Advanced Dates plugin, visit https://github.com/studiohyperset/ advanced-dates Developer Notes 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` and `the_time` work only on pages while` get_the_date` and `the_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 isn’t working for a particular theme, it’s 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` and `the_time` functions on pages and the `get_the_date` and `the_date` functions on posts.
