Title: Post Deadlines Author: Timi Wahalahti Published: October 19, 2018 Last modified: October 20, 2018 --- Search plugins 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://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/post-deadlines.svg) # Post Deadlines By [Timi Wahalahti](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sippis/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/post-deadlines.1.0.1.zip) * [Details](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/post-deadlines/#description) * [Reviews](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/post-deadlines/#reviews) * [Installation](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/post-deadlines/#installation) * [Development](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/post-deadlines/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/post-deadlines/) ## Description This plugin allows you to set deadline for posts and list posts with upcoming deadlines via shortcode. Plugin is intended to be used with [P2 theme](https://p2theme.com/) or [o2 plugin](https://geto2.com/), but can also work without it – only P2/o2 spesific functionality is datepicker field added to frontend post submit area. Datepicker for setting deadline is also available in classic editor and Gutenberg. Plugin also automatically adds deadline to the end of `the_content` output if deadline is set. List of posts with upcoming deadlines are cached to transients to reduce amount of databse queries in large scale sites. ## Installation Installing “Post Deadlines” can be done either by searching for “Post Deadlines” via the “Plugins > Add New” screen in your WordPress dashboard, or by using the following steps: 1. Download the plugin via WordPress.org 2. Upload the ZIP file through the ‘Plugins > Add New > Upload’ screen in your WordPress dashboard 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress ## FAQ How I can set deadline for post? Post deadline can be set via datepicker in classic editor or Gutenberg from meta box labeled “Post deadline”. If you are running P2 theme or o2 plugin, deadline can be set from datepicker in front end post submit area also. How to list posts with upcoming deadlines? Just use shortcode `[upcoming_post_deadlines]` somewhere in your content! If you want to change the order so that post with latest deadline is first, add attribute` order="DESC"` to shortcode. Can I use my own template for shortcode? Yes! From plugin files copy `views/shortcode-list-upcoming-deadlines-php` to your theme root with name `post-deadlines-shortcode-list-upcoming.php` and then just modify the template to suit your needs. My list of posts with upcoming dedline isn’t updating! Oh snap! Plugin stores upcoming deadlines in transients to reduce amount of databse queries in large scale sites. Probably something is stuck and you should manually delete those transients from `wp_options` table or in-memory cache like Redis. Transient are named like `posts_with_deadline_YYYYMMDD_ASC/DESC`. Can I change the behavior of this plugin? Of course, but it needs some basic knowledge about PHP and WordPress hooks. This plugin does not have any settings page, only thing you can do without touching the code is chaning the post order in shortcode. If you know your PHP and WordPress hooks, look throught `post-deadlines.php` file and find what you need 🙂 ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f2a4b991356cc707cbe41edd396d5bf1c22cbf84d70e98fea3dfcc2265e775ba? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works like a charm](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-like-a-charm-1707/)󠁿 [Vladimir Vassilev](https://profiles.wordpress.org/vloo/) May 25, 2020 As old as this plugin it is, it still works just as expected on latest version of WordPress and P2 🙂 [ Read all 1 review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/post-deadlines/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Post Deadlines” is open source software.
