Date Published Shortcode

The short description really says it all. No bullshit, no complex stuff, just a simple shortcode that you can copy and paste to save a few seconds. I really made this so that I wouldn’t have to glance at the date every time that I posted an article; quite lazy, I know, but automating stuff is cool, and now I at least know how to put up a plugin on the WordPress repository.

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
3. Use the Settings->Plugin Name screen to configure the plugin

1. 

   This is what your shortcode should look like. Really simple, just [post_published].

2. 

   This is what it should look like on the front end.

The first, and probably last, change.

Fully up to date, thanks to a very nice tweet 🙂
