    Hi,

    Love the plugin. With the “content timeline” block is there anyway to override the Display Post Date that is printed next to the entry. For example I would like to use the block to show some historical details and I may only want a year, or to put a BCE at the end ( 254 BCE) or a rough date (i.e. c.1884) rather than an exact date.

    Hey @nickbits ,

    Thank you for reaching us out. Yes indeed you can do that. You can direct write the Date in the format you want to show as. Follow this video for details – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSJLYvRAL-U

    I hope this clarifies your doubts.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply, but I had no doubts, what I want to do doesn’t work. What is shown in the video works, i.e. 280 BCE, that is text after the date. However that is not what I want, I would like to put “c.1889” for the date, i.e. “circa 1889”, “about 1889”. So text before the date. The plugin doesn’t appear to let you do that, at least it doesn’t on my install.

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Hey @nickbits ,

    Yes, I see now what you are expecting here. I will ask my team to find a way around for this case.

    Hey @nickbits ,

    We have added a Date Format option here. You need to select “Normal Text” as the option in order to allow your custom Dates to work seamlessly.

    I hope that helps you.

    Hi Vrunda,

    That is fantastic. Know several sites I can now use the block on and will be a fantastic addition for others I am sure. Thank you for the support, very much appreciated.
