Sorry for the late reply. Give this a try. It’s untested and I’m assuming you’ve defined both $stopUsingAjaxAfter and $showDateAfter somewhere else in your code. If not, replace $stopUsingAjaxAfter with 0 and $showDateAfter with when you want the plugin to start showing the actual date something was published (in seconds after it was published). Using a value of 3600, for instance, will make the plugin start showing the date instead of “X minutes ago” after one hour.
Please have a look at the documentation for further information about the available options the plugin supports: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-days-ago/installation/
printf( __( '<span class="byline"><i class="fa fa-user"></i>%1$s</span><span class="posted-on"><i class="fa fa-calendar">%2$s</i>%3$s</span>', 'themememe' ),
sprintf( '<span class="author vcard">%2$s</span>',
esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
esc_html( get_the_author() )
),
wp_days_ago_v3($stopUsingAjaxAfter, $showDateAfter)
,
sprintf( '<!---->%2$s<!---->',
esc_url( get_permalink() ),
$time_string)
);
Hey Vegard,
Thanks for help. Humorously, your notes helped me find where the code should be placed, however, I don’t know how to adjust properly to display. Currently, I have:
sprintf( ‘wp_days_ago_v3(172800);’,
But how do I make it work inside of the single quotes ‘ ‘
Thanks,
Corey
The point of the sprintf function is that it returns a formatted string. This might work:
sprintf('%s', wp_days_ago_v3(172800));
sprintf should replace the %s with the output of the wp_days_ago_v3 function.
Another example is
sprintf('Published %s', wp_days_ago_v3(172800));
which should output something like “Published 3 minutes ago”.
You should also have a look at the PHP sprintf documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php
I understand now. I guess the issue that I’m having is that the function keeps showing up before the other information (author, category).
Here’s the code & you can look at condensus.com to see that the “days ago” function shows at the beginning…
function themememe_posted_on() {
$time_string = ‘<time class=”entry-date published” datetime=”%1$s”>%2$s</time>’;
$time_string = sprintf( $time_string,
esc_attr( get_the_date( ‘c’ ) ),
esc_html( get_the_date() ),
esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( ‘c’ ) ),
esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
);
printf( __(‘ <span class=”byline”><i class=”fa fa-user”></i>%1$s</span><span class=”posted-on”><i class=”fa fa-calendar”></i>wp_days_ago_v3(84600)</span>’, ‘themememe’ ),
sprintf( ‘<span class=”author vcard”>%2$s</span>’,
esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ) ) ),
esc_html( get_the_author() )
),
sprintf(‘%s’, wp_days_ago_v3(172800),
esc_url( get_permalink() ),
$time_string
)
);
}
endif;
First of all, you should remove the “wp_days_ago_v3(84600)” inside
<i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>wp_days_ago_v3(84600)</span>
Where, exactly, in the line below the headline, do you want the “days ago” information to be displayed?
I would like the “days ago” information to be displayed to the right of the calendar. Where I currently have the “wp_days_ago_v3(84600)” displayed.
For some reason, the actual “days ago” information keeps showing up at the beginning of the themememe_posted_on() function.
I see. Try to replace the themememe_posted_on function with the following (untested) version:
function themememe_posted_on() {
printf('<span class="posted-on"><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>%s</span>', wp_days_ago_v3(172800));
}
