When active, the Timeline Express – Date – Time Add-On will hide the default announcement date field, and generate a date and time field for you to use.
Multiple announcements that have the same date & time will fallback to use the published date to dictate order on the timeline.
<h3>Developers</h3>
Filters: 
timeline_express_date_time_formats – Add your own date formats to the announcement.
Example:
<pre>
/**
 * Assign a custom date format to the announcements.
 *
 * @param array $date_formats The original date formats array.
 */
function timeline_express_demo_custom_date_format( $date_formats ) {

 $date_formats['custom'] = 'Y-m-d'; // eg: 2018-10-02

}
add_filter( 'timeline_express_date_time_formats', 'timeline_express_demo_custom_date_format' );
</pre>
timeline_express_date_time_query_args – Filter the query run for the date time add-on.
Example:
<pre>
/**
 * Filter the announcement date time add-on query.
 * Fall back to post titles instead of published date when announcements contain the same date-time values.
 *
 * @param array $query_args The original date time add-on query arguments.
 */
function timeline_express_demo_filter_query_args( $query_args ) {

 unset( $query_args['orderby'] );

 $query_args['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num title';

 return $query_args;

}
add_filter( 'timeline_express_date_time_query_args', 'timeline_express_demo_filter_query_args' );
</pre>

If you are running a promotion that highlights specific products, you may want to provide a link that automatically adds these products to the customer’s shopping cart.
This plugin allows you to do exactly that. Example:
Following the link <code>your-domain.com/promo/summer-sale</code> would take the customer to <code>your-domain.com/cart</code> with 1 or more products auto loaded.
Settings to create your unique URLs can be found at 
 WooCommerce > Settings > Checkout (tab) > Autoload Cart (bottom of the page)
