Opens WPIDE on
Code
// Posts newer than this many days get the badge.
$wpide_new_badge_days = 7;
// Badge text.
$wpide_new_badge_text = 'New';
add_filter( 'the_title', function ( $title, $id = 0 ) use ( $wpide_new_badge_days, $wpide_new_badge_text ) {
if ( is_admin() || is_feed() || is_singular() || ! in_the_loop() || ! $id || 'post' !== get_post_type( $id ) ) {
return $title;
}
$published = (int) get_post_time( 'U', true, $id );
if ( $published && time() - $published < $wpide_new_badge_days * DAY_IN_SECONDS ) {
$title .= ' <span class="wpide-new-badge" style="display:inline-block;margin-left:.4em;padding:.1em .45em;font-size:.6em;vertical-align:middle;line-height:1.4;border-radius:3px;background:#d63638;color:#fff;">' . esc_html( $wpide_new_badge_text ) . '</span>';
}
return $title;
}, 10, 2 );Notes
Change the number of days or the label text. Themes that use the title inside an HTML attribute will show the word as plain text there.
