Genesis has always allowed you to display the relative post date like “6 weeks and 1 day ago” using [post_date format="relative"]
. It displays two date segments – days and hours, or weeks and days, or months and weeks, or years and months…
In some layouts, especially if you’re using a Grid Loop, a shorter date with a single date segment would work better.
And now you can with Genesis 2.3, using the relative_depth
parameter. This applies to the [post_date]
and [post_modified_date]
shortcodes.
Examples:
[post_date format="relative" relative_depth="1"]
= 8 months ago
[post_date format="relative" relative_depth="2"]
= 8 months and 4 days
[post_date format="relative" relative_depth="3"]
= 8 months, 4 days and 4 hours ago
