Overview

Replace date tags within your content items with formatted date strings that count up or down to the specified date. Prefix and suffix based on past or future dates. Date range restrictions, and more.

Use the plugin configuration to set defaults, such as standard output length (how many units of measure to display) as well as default suffixes and prefixes for both past and future dates.

Within each plugin tag, you can specify if the tag is to display only within a specific date or time range. All dates can be entered using standard PHP Time, Date, Compound, or Relative Format.
