If you don’t know how to install a plugin for WordPress, here’s how .

I can’t find the settings page, where is it?

It’s right there, under General Settings in your admin menu. Configurable settings are:

• Activate Message : By default, no message will show up on your website until you activate it here.
• Minimal Post Age : Set a number of years for posts to be considered aged. Default: 1.
• Message Heading : Heading text. Default: The times, they are a-changin’ . (Dylan, google him.)
• Message Body (Singular) : Singular form of the message text, for 1 year-old posts.
• Message Body (Plural) : Plural form of the message text, for 2+ year-old posts.
• Message Class Attribute : CSS class name(s) applied upon the message’s wrapping <div> .
• Message HTML : HTML template for the message. You can completely control its output via this field if you want, or use placeholders for heading and text.
• Message CSS : Customize the visual styling of your message right here. Or not.

Can I disable default styles?

Sure, just empty the CSS field and no styles shall be applied. If you want to add styles to your theme instead, this might get you started:

/* Default styles */ .aged-content-message { background: #f7f7f7; border-left: 5px solid #f39c12; font-family: inherit; font-size: .875rem; line-height: 1.5; margin: 1.5rem 0; padding: 1.5rem; } .aged-content-message h5 { font-family: inherit; font-size: .8125rem; font-weight: bold; line-height: 2; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-transform: uppercase; } .aged-content-message p { margin: 0; padding: 0; } Where have all the filters gone?
