Hi,
Basically I wanna change my posts to say “5 minutes ago, or 2 hours ago”, as long as it’s fresher than 24 hours.
I used a “Meks Time Ago” plugin and it worked, but there seemed to be some Time Zone issues. The site is set to UTC +0, and there are a lot of posts submitted on our website, yet for some it would actually be counting in the opposite direction (I guess the time zone difference problem, but not sure what to do). It didn’t seem like the plugin problem.
Is there any simple way to change the functions.php to do “how many minutes ago” instead of current date? Or maybe, something like this “5 minutes ago (March 18th)”. We have a custom theme and I don’t think it interferes.

There is a small plug-in that apparently can take care of this (I have never used it myself) called Meks Time Ago,
Also, there is a built-in WordPress function you can add to your theme’s templates called human_time_diff(): see [this 12 year old question on Stack Exchange](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/36184/how-can-i-put-posted-x-minutes-ago-on-my-posts) on how to use it.
