Featuring or Highlighting a New Post

Hi NLucano!

Thank you for using Enfold.

You can edit loop-index.php, find this line:

echo $title;

Below, you can add this:

$publisheddate = get_the_time('Y-m-d');			
				$published = strtotime($publisheddate);
				$expiration = $published + (7 * 24 * 60 * 60);
				$today = current_time('timestamp');
				
				if($expiration > $today) {
					echo "NEW";
				} else {
					echo "OLD";
				}

The post will expire in 7 days.

Cheers!

Hey!

Yeah. It will not actually expire or remove the post. It will only put the word “NEW” below the title for new posts. The text will be removed after 7 days. You can style it with css. Please try it. You can replace the code with this, if you don’t want to add the text “OLD” for old posts:

$publisheddate = get_the_time('Y-m-d');			
				$published = strtotime($publisheddate);
				$expiration = $published + (7 * 24 * 60 * 60);
				$today = current_time('timestamp');
				
				if($expiration > $today) {
					echo "<span class='new-post-meta'>NEW</span>";
				}

Use .new-post-meta class on the Quick CSS field to move the text.

.new-post-meta {
position: relative;
padding: 3px;
background: green;
color: white;
}

If you’re looking for something else, I don’t think we can help you further. Please hire a freelance developer to add the feature for you or find a plugin that works with the theme. For further modifications, please visit Envato Studio or Werkpress.

Hi!

Looks like you’re using the grid layout. You can edit config-templatebuilder > avia-shortcodes > postslider.php. Look for this code:

$output .= !empty($title) ? "<h3 class='slide-entry-title entry-title' $markup><a href='{$link}' title='".esc_attr(strip_tags($title))."'>".$title."</a></h3>" : '';

Hi!

Please look for this code:

$output .= !empty($title) ? "<h3 class='slide-entry-title entry-title' $markup><a href='{$link}' title='".esc_attr(strip_tags($title))."'>".$title."</a></h3>" : '';

Replace it with:

$output .= !empty($title) ? "<h3 class='slide-entry-title entry-title' $markup><a href='{$link}' title='".esc_attr(strip_tags($title))."'>".$title."</a></h3>" : '';
					$publisheddate = get_the_time('Y-m-d');			
					$published = strtotime($publisheddate);
					$expiration = $published + (7 * 24 * 60 * 60);
					$today = current_time('timestamp');
				
					if($expiration > $today) {
						$output .= "<span class='new-post-meta'>NEW</span>";
					}
