As content ages (especially technical blogs), it may not be as relevant. This plugin
automatically marks content older than a specified date with a customizable message.
For example, if you have content that is older than 2 years, you might want to alert
the user to check for new releases of the information.

### 󠀁[Works as expected](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-as-expected-380/)󠁿

Exactly what I needed. Basic knowledge of PHP and the WordPress System might be 
needed to insert the code at the right place. But that also gives flexibility. Works
with WP 4.9.5 without problems.
