Increase the time to Infinite

Technically, this isn’t possible as the upper limit is 48 hours at the moment. However, you’ve got me thinking about adding a filter that allows you to either use the time limit defined in the breaking news CPT or leave it up forever. Hopefully will get that done before the weekend is up. Sorry about that.

Thank you.. This is great..

Our site will be getting some serious press and this banner is Imperative to the site..

Perhaps a new entry into the Drop Down.. = Never which bypasses logic..

Just thninking outload.. thank you for the hard work!

So at the moment, I’ve created a filter for it that can keep it up forever or use the time limit. To bypass the time limit, just add the following code:

function theme_slug_news_banner_limit( $default ) {
    return false;
}
add_filter( 'jm_breaking_news_use_time_limit', 'theme_slug_news_banner_limit' );

Unfortunately, my repo for the plugin locally is quite a mess, so you’re probably better off copying the code from the gist I’ve linked to below and replacing the code in the jm-breaking-news.php file inside the plugin. Let me know if you need any help. Sorry about the delay!
