About FacetWP Time Since Addon
For people who want last 30 days buttons, not a calendar
Visitors to a listing that ages (news, events, deals, recipes) rarely think in exact dates: they think in terms of recent. Asking them to pick two dates in a calendar means making them calculate what you already know.
FacetWP Time Since Addon is for that buyer: someone who already works with FacetWP and wants options like Past 7 Days or Next 7 Days. It is not for you if you need visitors to type any start and end date (FacetWP has a separate date range facet type for that). It does not work on its own either: it is an add-on for FacetWP. And if you use a custom field, it must store the date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
FacetWP Time Since Addon: each choice is one line of text
Choices are written one per line in the form label | format. The format is based on PHP's strtotime function, so it accepts relative date expressions. Some examples:
- Past Day | -1 day
- Past 7 Days | -7 days
- Past 90 Days | -90 days
- Past Year | -1 year
- Next 7 Days | +7 days
- Today | today
- Tomorrow | tomorrow
- Yesterday | yesterday
You choose the labels, so they can be in your own language, and they can be translated with the facetwp_i18n hook.
Where the date comes from: publication, modification or an ACF field
As the data source you pick a date field, such as the post date or the last modified date, or a custom field in YYYY-MM-DD format, for example an ACF Date Picker or Date Time Picker. With the modified date you can offer something like Updated this week on content you review often. Intervals are calculated using the timezone in WordPress General Settings.
Radio, dropdown or fSelect, and what happens with empty choices
The interface can be radio, dropdown or fSelect (a single-select dropdown with a search box). In dropdown and fSelect, the first default choice is Any and you can change its text; in radio, that choice appears as long as the label is not empty.
With the ghosts option enabled, choices with no results are shown dimmed and cannot be clicked; without it, they are hidden. There is a nuance: you can deliberately create choices with zero results even before filtering.
FacetWP Time Since Addon and PHP: custom intervals need code
If you want a choice like Older than 1 year, add the line Older than 1 year | over-1-year. PHP cannot interpret that token, so you have to define the range with the facetwp_time_since_date_range filter, giving the lower and upper date. The code goes in the child theme's functions.php, in the Custom Hooks add-on or in a snippets plugin.
The counts next to each choice can be hidden with CSS, but the general rule also affects other facets that show counts (checkboxes, radio, hierarchy, among others), so it is best to target only Time Since facets.
Questions before setting up relative date filters
Does it work without FacetWP?
No. It is a facet type that adds to FacetWP and is configured inside it.
Can I offer future dates?
Yes: Next 7 Days, Today or Tomorrow are valid formats, as long as the source field contains future dates.
Can visitors pick a free range?
No. They only see the choices you write. For free start and end dates, use FacetWP's date range facet type.
Does it respect my timezone?
Yes, it uses the timezone set in WordPress General Settings.
