I’ve been looking for a WordPress plugin that would show when Mercury was in Retrograde but there isn’t one so today I learned php and made my own.
Download: mercretro.zip
Installation:
1. Upload the contents of mercRetro.zip to “wp-contents/plugins”.
2. Place this tag
<?php if(function_exists(mercRetro)){ mercRetro(); } ?>
anywhere in you want to in your template (eg sidebar.php, header.php)
3. In the admin panel go to “Plugins” and click “activate” beside “Mercury Retrograde”.
That’s it you’re done!
Keeping up-to-date:
This release has retrograde dates Oct 2007 - the end of 2023.
In order to add additional dates of retrograde simply
1. Open dates.txt in a text editor (This is found in “wp-contents/plugins/mercRetro”)
2. At the end of the file on a new line add the new date in the following format;
MM-DD-YYYY MM-DD-YYYY
where the first date is the start date and the second is the end date
(eg “10-11-2007 11-01-2007″, that is the eleventh of October till the first of November)
3. Save and upload the new file.
I am working on a admin panel to do this.
