WordPress Posts Timeline Plugin

The WordPress Posts Timeline Plugin uses only css to create a vertical timeline for a post category or custom taxonomy. The CSS is very flexible so it should look good in small or large sizes.

It will pull uncategorized posts by default.

A brief Markdown Example

Default Usage

[wp-timeline]
Displays posts in post uncategorized category, showing 5 posts, 10 words per post, no images and year only date format.

The date is from your post’s published date – you can modify it to change your timeline date.

Change default settings on the settings page.

SHORTCODE OPTIONS NO LONGER WORK – USE SETTINGS PAGE

1. Unzip wordpress-posts-timeline.zip to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Use shortcode [wp-timeline] in page or template to display timeline.
4. See ‘other notes’ for syntax options

How do I change the date format?

The date is pulled from your posts published date. If you need to backdate, you can change it there. There are currently four date options on the settings page. If you wish to see more formats, please suggest one or edit the source yourself.
