 * I am looking for a plugin that can handle dates before christ.
    This pro plugin
   only goes back to 1 January 1000. But I am creating a history website and need
   dates 600 BC. Any chance that this plugin can put dates before christ?

 * Hi Alain,
 * Not at the moment – but this is something we are working on getting into the 
   Pro version as it requires a re-work of the current queries run to pull in and
   order the announcements.
 * Depending on the complexity and/or integration with current timelines we may 
   need to build it out as a standalone add-on (which would then allow it to be 
   used with our free version as well).
 * So in short, to answer your question, not at the moment – but this is a feature
   that we are actively working on.

 * Thanks, looking forward for that (standalone) plugin.
    Please keep me posted,
   I really need it!

 * Hi [@alain-lankers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alain-lankers/),
 * We’ve gone ahead and shipped our BC/AD Dates Add-On which can now be purchased
   through the add-ons section of our site.
 * [https://timeline-express-site.wp/products/timeline-express-bc-ad-dates-add-on/](https://timeline-express-site.wp/products/timeline-express-bc-ad-dates-add-on/)
 * Essentially the add-on allows you to specify which announcements are BC vs AD
   dates, and lays them out in chronological order on your timeline accordingly.
 * We have two filters in there to allow you to append AD onto AD dates, or to strip
   trailing zeros from BC dates (eg: 02/02/0146 BC becomes 02/02/146 BC – which 
   looks nicer).
 * Feel free to give things a go if it suits the needs for your project.
 * Thanks again for opening up this thread and giving us the chance to release our
   solution!

 * Thanks for the update. The link you posted is not working but I found on [https://www.wp-timelineexpress.com/products/timeline-express-bc-ad-dates-add-on/](https://www.wp-timelineexpress.com/products/timeline-express-bc-ad-dates-add-on/)
 * Is it possible to add BC dates like this:
 * 400 BC – 300 BC
    300 BC – 150 BC etc

 * Shoot you are correct – I entered the wrong URL.
 * You can add date ranges with a bit of tweaking but out of the box ranges aren’t
   fully supported.
 * With a small tweak we can just add a start date and and date and display the 
   on the timeline. I’d be happy to help work on a solution.
