FacetWP Time Since

Description

The Time Since addon adds to FacetWP a specialized facet for filtering content based on the time elapsed since a date, calculating relative intervals like “last 24 hours”, “last week”, or “last month” directly on post date fields. This add-on is recommended for news portals, event directories, and dynamic listings where result relevance depends on the time proximity between the published date and the moment of the visitor’s query.

Main Features

• Relative time facet
  Adds to FacetWP a facet type that filters records by the time elapsed since a date.

Time Since Benefits

• Always updated results
  Visitors access listings with recent items without the administrator needing to reconfigure filters.
• Intuitive temporal filtering
  Replaces the traditional calendar with immediate-read options for the end user.
• Quick implementation
  Requires no additional programming to create relative date logic in WordPress queries.

Who is it Recommended For?

• News portals and magazines that need to highlight recent content in filtered listings.
• Directories and listing platforms that depend on temporal filters to classify records.
• WordPress developers who use FacetWP and need facets based on elapsed time.

The Time Since addon expands FacetWP’s facet repertoire with a resource focused on elapsed time, addressing scenarios where absolute dates convey little to the visitor. Recommended for sites with constant publication flow, it helps keep navigation aligned with the currency of records and reduces the effort of maintaining filters exposed on the front-end.
