Upload the `indesign-nepali-post-date` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install it directly through the WordPress plugin screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Go to **Settings Indesign Nepali Post Date** to configure the date format, localization style, and optional CSS class. 4. Add a shortcode such as `[indnpd_post_date]` or `[indnpd_today_date]` anywhere in your content. ## FAQ ### What calendar system does this plugin use? The plugin converts dates from the Gregorian calendar (AD) to the Bikram Sambat ( BS) calendar — the official calendar of Nepal. For example, AD 2024 corresponds approximately to BS 2081. ### What date range is supported? The plugin supports BS 2000 to BS 2101, which corresponds to AD 1943-04-14 through AD 2044. Dates outside this range will be returned as-is without conversion. ### How do I display the post date in Nepali inside my theme template? Use the global PHP function anywhere inside The Loop: ``` ``` Or use the namespaced helper for more control: ``` ``` ### Can I use English digits instead of Nepali glyphs? Yes. Go to **Settings Indesign Nepali Post Date** and set **Localization Style** to **Global English (0123)**. You can also override this per shortcode using the` lang` attribute: ``` [indnpd_post_date lang="english"] ``` Or per function call by passing `"english"` as the third argument to `indnpd_get_date()`. ### Can I customize the date format? Yes. In the settings panel, enter a custom **Date Pattern** using the supported tokens: `d` (day), `m` (month number), `M` (month name), `y` (2-digit year), `Y`( 4-digit year), `l` (weekday name). For example, `d M Y, l` outputs २५ असार २०८१, मंगलबार. You can also pass a custom format directly in a shortcode: `[indnpd_post_date format ="d M Y"]` ### How do I hook into the date output programmatically? Use the `indesign_nepali_post_date_output` WordPress filter. It passes three arguments: the formatted HTML string, the BS date array, and the Unix timestamp. ``` add_filter( 'indesign_nepali_post_date_output', function( $html, $bs, $unix ) { return '' . $html . ''; }, 10, 3 ); ``` ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Indesign Nepali Post Date” is open source software.
