## Description

Hides posts older than given date or amount of time relative to present (see `(http://
php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php strtotime)`).

You can also choose a capability – users who have this capability will then see 
all posts. And if you enter `none`, even admins will be excluded.

Uses `posts_where` and `getarchives_where` filters.

Developed for private use, but has perspective for more extensive usage. I can’t
guarantee any support in the future nor further development, but it is to be expected.
Kindly inform me about bugs, if you find any, or propose new features: zaantar@zaantar.
