WordPress Relative Date in 2 Simple Steps

HOLYmac! You can turn your WordPress website into a relative date ONLY World in these 2 easy steps.

We live in a relative World. And most of us are all-too-familiar with the “1o mins ago”, “1hr ago”  date formats of FaceBook and Twitter. But converting their WordPress website to relative dates wasn’t that simple. 

Now two really smart Dudes have made it possible to display the relative date ONLY, which is awesome. I think having both the date AND relative date is a bit of an overkill, so by using this plug-in + code hack method, you can show JUST the relative date. And it’s relatively simple to do.

1. Install this WordPress Plugin: WP-RelativeDate Plug-In (by Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan)
2. Then modify the file using this WordPress code hack:  (by Pariah S. Burke)

Hats off, and credit, to both parties for helping us make HOLYmac! a relative Date World.
