Years Since

Description

Keep the date related texts current in your posts and allow your content to age well seemlessly. Texts like “I have worked for x years in web dev” in articles are outdated within a year. This plugin keeps them upto date automatically.

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.“

A well-thought-out solution, sleek and elegantly coded. I love the functionality that allows for days, months and weeks instead of 0 years when time passed is less than a year. Congratulations @laurencebahiirwa and a big thank you!
