## FAQ

### Ich kann die Einstellungsseite nicht finden, wo ist sie?

**It’s right there, under General Settings in your admin menu.** Configurable settings
are:

 * **Activate Message**: By default, no message will show up on your website until
   you activate it here.
 * **Minimal Post Age**: Set a number of years for posts to be considered aged. 
   Default: 1.
 * **Message Heading**: Heading text. Default: _The times, they are a-changin’_.(
   Dylan, google him.)
 * **Message Body (Singular)**: Singular form of the message text, for 1 year-old
   posts.
 * **Message Body (Plural)**: Plural form of the message text, for 2+ year-old posts.
 * **Message Class Attribute**: CSS class name(s) applied upon the message’s wrapping`
   <div>`.
 * **Message HTML**: HTML template for the message. You can completely control its
   output via this field if you want, or use placeholders for heading and text.
 * **Message CSS**: Customize the visual styling of your message right here. Or 
   not.

### Kann ich Standard-Stile deaktivieren?

Sure, just empty the _CSS_ field and no styles shall be applied. If you want to 
add styles to your theme instead, this might get you started:

    ```
    /* Default styles */
    .aged-content-message {
        background: #f7f7f7;
        border-left: 5px solid #f39c12;
        font-family: inherit;
        font-size: .875rem;
        line-height: 1.5;
        margin: 1.5rem 0;
        padding: 1.5rem;
    }
    .aged-content-message h5 {
        font-family: inherit;
        font-size: .8125rem;
        font-weight: bold;
        line-height: 2;
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        text-transform: uppercase;
    }
    .aged-content-message p {
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
    }
    ```

### Wohin sind all die Filter verschwunden?

You can still use those good old filters from [v1.3](https://github.com/glueckpress/aged-content-message/tree/v1.3),
like for this conditional handbrake that doesn’t have a setting (yet):

    ```
    /* Set condition for displaying message to include pages. */
    function yourprefix_aged_content_message__the_content_condition() {
        return ! is_single() && ! is_page();
    }
    add_action( 'aged_content_message__the_content_condition',
        'yourprefix_aged_content_message__the_content_condition' );
    ```

This is great little helper! 🙂 The settings are easy and it does nothing without
you configuring it. If you need more customizations, then you can use filters to
further prevent or show the message. You can style it yourself if you know CSS, 
but it ships with a generic CSS styling which works in most cases. Recommended little
plugin with a responsive author and a Github repo for issues or PRs. Open source
can be fun with such great little helper plugins. This is the reason why this directory
exists. Hopefully the „[Discontinued]“ text on the Github repo is a mistake …
