Hello

I would like my site to show the x time ago on posts but we also have lots of events listed that are effected by the sitewide change and are also showing x time ago dates too even if they are in the future.

We have ACF pro installed on our site and we have created a custom date field for each post that we can print onto the frontpage underneath each post they are related to.

Is there a way to manipulate the field to show x time ago as opposed to just showing the time and date?

Thanks

You need to calculate it in your template https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.diff.php
