DX Out of Date allows you to display a notification box on your posts
when a given amount of time has passed. Quite handy when writing tutorials
or any content that might get outdated due to external factors – now you
could automatically notify your readers after a given period.

You can configure the expiration time of your posts in the admin panel. Valid time units are days, months and years.

Currently the plugin options are:

  • Period – “amount” of “duration” units (1 to 40)
  • Duration frame (days, months, years)
  • Measure the age from – the publish date, or the last update (refreshing a post resets its age)
  • Message – the message format for the notification box
  • Enable by default – a checkbox for enabling the message on all posts by default
  • Enable post status in Dashboard – adds an “Outdated” column and an “Out of date (N)” filter to the posts list, so you can find every post that needs a refresh
  • Post types to affect – allows you to choose which post types for display the message for
  • Position of the message – choose whether the message should be displayed at the top or at the bottom of a post’s content
  • Background color – Choose a background color for the message
  • Text color – Choose a text color for the message
  • Custom CSS – Add custom CSS rules to the message box
