<p>Time Lord is a plugin which allows you to schedule the publication of part of your content on a set date. It can also calculate age based on a set year in the past or the estimated time if the year is set in the future.</p>
<p>You can use it in posts, pages or any other content type via the <code>[timelord]</code> shordcode. Here are some common examples, supposing that present day is on April 2015:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>[timelord from="2016-01"]SOME CONTENT[/timelord]</code> would output “SOME CONTENT” only when January 2016 comes. </li>
<li><code>[timelord to="2016-01"]SOME CONTENT[/timelord]</code> would output “SOME CONTENT” until January 2016 and then it would remove it. </li>
<li><code>[timelord from="2015-04-01" to="2016-04-01" every="1 day"]SOME CONTENT[/timelord]</code> would output “SOME CONTENT” every other day until April 2016. </li>
<li><code>[timelord from="2015-04-01" to="2016-04-01" every="Monday"]SOME CONTENT[/timelord]</code> would output “SOME CONTENT” every Monday until April 2016. </li>
<li><code>[timelord to="2014-01" del="yes"]SOME CONTENT[/timelord]</code> would output <code><del>SOME CONTENT</del></code> (check screenshot for an example of what the user would actually see in the frontend). </li>
<li><code>[timelord from="2015-01" to="2016-01"]SOME CONTENT[/timelord]</code> would output “SOME CONTENT” from January 2015 to January 2016.</li>
<li><code>[timelord mode="hide" from="2015-01" to="2016-01"]SOME CONTENT[/timelord]</code> would output “SOME CONTENT” every other time except from January 2015 to January 2016.</li>
<li><code>[timelord year="1980"]</code> would output “35”.</li>
<li><code>[timelord year="1980" ordinal="yes"]</code> would output “35th”.</li>
</ul>

<p>A WordPress plugin aimed primarily at events sites, where you want to be able to timestamp posts in the future but have them appear immediately (by default, WordPress will not display a future timestamped post until its go-live date rolls around). Without changing database, this plugin sets the post_status field to “publish” rather than “future” when publishing a post, even if its timestamp is in the future.</p>
<p>Note: This 2.0 version requires WordPress 3.5 or higher. If you need this to work with versions lower than 3.5, grab the 1.0 version from svn: https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/the-future-is-now/tags/1.0/</p>
<h3>Note</h3>
<p>This seemingly simple plugin was graciously written by the magical Ryan Boren when I was facing a deadline. He doesn’t have time to maintain/host it, so I agreed to. Andrew Nacin tweaked it to work with WP 3.5, when the APIs changed a bit. Jack updated the plugin for WordPress 6.8.</p>


The Future Is Now

Allow future-time-stamped posts to appear live on your site immediately.
