FacetWP – Time Since 1.5.1

Display Posts with Human-Readable Time Since Format

‘March 15, 2024’ doesn’t grab attention the way ‘3 days ago’ does. The FacetWP Time Since plugin converts standard WordPress timestamps into dynamic, human-readable intervals that visitors instinctively understand. News sites, blogs, forums — they all benefit from content that looks fresh at a glance.

Install and activate. That’s it. Your post dates transform instantly across FacetWP-powered listings and archives.

What It Does

Time Since swaps rigid calendar dates for natural language: ’12 minutes ago,’ ‘4 hours ago,’ ‘2 months ago.’ The display adapts automatically based on content age — seconds and minutes for fresh posts, hours for same-day content, days for recent entries, months or years for older material.

Key Features

• Automatic time interval calculation from publication date
• Adaptive display: minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years — whichever makes sense for the content age
• Plugs directly into your existing FacetWP filters and facets
• Supports all WordPress post types and custom date fields
• Minimal footprint — adds functionality without page weight
• Version 1.5.1: performance improvements and bug fixes

Who It’s For

Site owners running FacetWP who want their listings to feel more alive. News portals — readers instantly see which stories are breaking. Bloggers — archives feel active instead of dusty. Community sites and forums — that social-media urgency that keeps people coming back.

How To Use It

Upload the plugin, activate through your dashboard, done. Time Since automatically overrides standard date displays wherever FacetWP renders content. No settings page, no configuration. Just works. Your existing templates and other facets stay untouched.

Why This Instead of Custom Code?

Custom code means debugging, updates, and documentation for something this specific. This plugin handles all of that. One payment, commercial license, lifetime updates.
