常见问题

Can I replace or append to the default notice?

Yes. When editing old posts, you can set a notice and choose whether to replace the default notice or append to it.

This is a meta box, so it is compatible with both the Block and Classic editors. On the block editor, the meta box is at the bottom of the page.

Can I see a list of posts displaying the old post notice?

Yes. You can view posts with the notice by enabling the dashboard page and/or the dashboard widget.

Can I set the colors?

Yes. Set the styling option to Default, then choose your preferred background and text colors using the color settings.

Can I use my own custom CSS?

Yes. Set the styling option to None, then target the old-post-notice class in your CSS to apply custom styles.

Can I use HTML in the notice?

Yes. You can use HTML tags in the notice text, including line breaks, formatting tags like  and , and other common HTML elements. The HTML is automatically sanitized for security, so safe tags like ,  , , and  are allowed, while potentially dangerous tags like <script> are removed.

Can I add content before an appended notice?

Yes. Use the old_post_notice_before_append filter hook to add content before an appended notice. For example, if you’re appending links to newer posts to your default notice, you can add a general heading before the links with this hook.

This will display: [Default notice] + “My Heading” + [Your appended notice].
