Display dated announcements in order

Timeline Express Pro presents announcement posts as animated vertical timelines. Set a date for each announcement, then choose ascending or descending order. Use timelines for company histories, product roadmaps, release cycles, event records, customer histories, personal achievements, and other date-based collections.

Add the [timeline-express] shortcode to a page or post to display a timeline. The plugin also provides a Timeline content block. Its responsive layout adjusts to announcement content and mobile screens, with CSS3 animation effects.

Keep separate collections organized

Create multiple timelines for different histories, projects, departments, or content collections. Assign announcements to one timeline or to all available timelines. Categories add another way to group entries: users can filter announcements by category on the front end, and sorting can use categories, timelines, or both.

For a more compact presentation, Pro reduces the distance between announcements. Set excerpt length and hide dates or read more links when they are not needed.

Choose an picture and icon for each entry

Announcements can include a custom image and a selected icon. Timeline Express includes hundreds of Font Awesome icons, so entries can have different visual markers. Localized date formatting and translation-ready text support international websites. The source states compatibility with WPML and Polylang.
