<p>Keep date time related texts relevant. “I have worked for x years.” becomes outdated within a year. Years since keeps “x” current in your posts and allow your content to age well.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>A year must be provided in your text by the attribute “y” such as <strong>[years-since y=2012]</strong>.<br />
As an option, Months by referencing “m” and day by using “d”. Months and day default to “1” if not added in the shortcode.</p>
<p>For example, on an “About” page text, you might have something like:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We’ve worked remotely for <strong>[years-since y=2012]</strong>, which has allowed the team to spend more time traveling and spending time with family.<br />
  Or, if you wanted to update a time span on a particular anniversary, you could do something like:<br />
  <strong>I’m [years-since y=1990 m=5 d=16] old.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<h3>More attributes</h3>
<p><strong>html</strong><br />
Add specific HTML tag to the calculation with the html attrribute e.g.</p>
<p><strong>[years-since y=1990 html=span]</strong> will wrap the output in a span tag.</p>
<p><strong>text</strong><br />
Add a text attribute with value false i.e.<br />
<strong>[years-since y=1990 text=false]</strong> will remove the text years from the calculation.</p>
<p>It will output <strong>23</strong> instead of <strong>23 years</strong>.</p>

Years Since – Timeless Texts

Good one!

The automated updates for me works magic. I don't have to go back to the posts I made ages ago to update the timelines.

Works wonders straight out of the box
