Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Y2K Bug Simulator

Well, it may be that I am too easily amused, but I find it mildly entertaining to see a site's content labeled as pre-dating the internet. It is also amusing to turn the plugin on just as a significant date/time passes (such as a change in DST), and leverage the general uncertainty most people have about computers, dates, and time. Also, nostalgia for the y2k end-of-the-world scare.
As noted above, the plugin will operate on almost all requests for date-related data that utilize core WordPress functions to do so. If you have code that utilizes dates that do not pass through core WordPress date display functions, you will not see changes in the output of that code.
See above re: themes.
