Years Since

Descriere

Keep date time related texts relevant. „I have worked for x years.” becomes outdated within a year. Years since keeps „x” current in your posts and allow your content to age well.

Usage

A year must be provided in your text by the attribute „y” such as [years-since y=2012].
As an option, Months by referencing „m” and day by using „d”. Months and day default to „1” if not added in the shortcode.

For example, on an „About” page text, you might have something like:

We’ve worked remotely for [years-since y=2012], which has allowed the team to spend more time traveling and spending time with family.
Or, if you wanted to update a time span on a particular anniversary, you could do something like:
I’m [years-since y=1990 m=5 d=16] old.
