<h3>Translations</h3>
<h4>Using another language</h4>
<p>You’ll need to modify your wp-config.php file. To do this…</p>
<ol>
<li>Open your <code>wp-config.php</code> file in a text editor and search for: <code>define ('WPLANG', '');</code></li>
<li>Edit this line according to the language you want to use (and is available). For example, for Deutsch spoken in Germany, you must add: <code>('WPLANG', 'de_DE');</code></li>
<li>Once you’ve added your language code, save the file.</li>
<li>Upload the modified wp-config.php file into the WordPress root directory.</li>
</ol>
<p>Of course, you’ll replace de_DE with the language extension that you want to use, unless of course you actually did want the German language translation.

<h4>Practical Use of WPC Product Timer for WooCommerce</h4>
<p>Consider the following cases anyone might encounter when it comes to managing your shop:</p>
<ul>
<li>(1) A new item will be opened for sale in your shop on the next Monday.</li>
<li>(2) You will stop selling an old-fashioned product starting from this weekend.</li>
<li>(3) You will be running a sale event for one week starting from the first day of the next month.</li>
<li>(4) You want to hide some products from search at certain times of the day.</li>
<li>(5) Some products from your store are seasonal, so they’re purchasable at certain periods of time only.</li>
<li>(6) You have items that are temporarily unsellable, but you still want to keep them visible to your customers.</li>
<li>(7) Your shop sells Christmas decorative ornaments from December 1st to December 24th every day from 7:00 to 21:00.</li>
<li>(8) Your restaurant serves breakfast before 9 A.M. and desserts after 8 P.M. only.</li>
<li>(9) You’d like to run festive sale campaigns on holidays, i.e., on New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.</li>
<li>(10) Your shop has recurring flash sales every Monday to keep buyers motivated to shop more often & get a fast turnover of stock.</li>
<li>(11) You sell alternating items on odd days and even days of the month.</li>
<li>(12) You have a need to hide your newly arrived product for stock checks from July 3rd to July 31st, then put it on sale at $29 for a week to promote sales upon product launch and change it back to its regular price at $39 from 8:00 August 15th.</li>
</ul>
<h4>An All-in-One Timer for Product Management</h4>
<p>This is not only a timer, but it’s also the most usable plugin for setting any time-based task no matter how complicated it might be. As long as the defined time conditionals do not conflict, users are entitled to add unlimited actions (featured in the Premium version only) despite the type of chosen actions.</p>
<p>Stock Condition: As in (1) & (2), it’s easy for sellers to change the stock condition of a product from in stock to out of stock and vice versa using various time conditionals. This will be useful for updating stock conditions in products that have fast turnover and restocking.</p>
<p>Products’ Visibility: In (4), users can set the product as hidden to prevent it from appearing in the product search on the shop page. However, if customers have the exact link of the single product page, then they can still access and add it to the cart from there. On the other hand, users can also enable the product’s visibility at other defined times.</p>
<p>Products’ Availability: To completely stop your customers from buying specific items, users will need to combine two actions: setting those items as hidden and unpurchasable. This will ensure that they’re not available for sale but can still be seen from the exact product link as in (6).</p>
<p>Products’ Prices: It’s totally possible for shop owners to set sale prices or change the prices back to the regular using any kind of time conditions. Remarkably, retailers can even plan ahead their promotional schedule for the whole year or every year using the recurring time conditions.</p>
<h4>Complete Time Conditionals for Use</h4>
<p>We can proudly claim that our plugin is the best one concerning the time conditional settings. WPC Product Timer has the ability to define all kinds of deadlines for the actions including both time (time point, consecutive and separate time periods) and date (exact dates, recurring dates, date range, separate dates, odd/ even dates, weekly on specific dates). Besides, the plugin displays the current date and time as well so that users can define the deadlines faster for actions. When it comes to choosing a date or time point, you can do it by selecting from the calendar or entering the correctly formatted numbers in the box.</p>
<ul>
<li>On an exact date: as in (1)</li>
<li>Set a date range: as in (3), (7)</li>
<li>Multiple dates: as in (9) & (5), users can add up to 5 separate dates.</li>
<li>Before/ after a date: as in (2)</li>
<li>Before/after date & time: (7)</li>
<li>On even/ odd dates: as in (11)</li>
<li>Daily time range: as in (4)</li>
<li>Daily before /after time: as in (8)</li>
<li>Weekly on every specific date (10)</li>
<li>Week No.</li>
<li>Month No.</li>
<li>Everyday</li>
</ul>
<p>One special example of setting complex timeframes for your product is (12). This case requires adding 3 actions with 3 different kinds of time conditions. To be specific, you should add in this order: 1. Set hidden, date range: July 3rd – July 31st, 2. Set sale price – $29, date range: August 3rd – August 10th (assuming product launched on August 3rd), 3. Set regular price, after date & time: August 15th – 8:00. Adding actions in order is just necessary for users to check on every phase of their launch schedule, in fact, the order doesn’t affect the result. You can add actions in any order that you like as long as time conditions make sense.</p>
<h4>Achievable Goals</h4>
<ul>
<li>Set sale price</li>
<li>Set regular price</li>
<li>Set featured</li>
<li>Set unfeatured</li>
<li>Set unpurchasable</li>
<li>Set out of stock</li>
<li>Set hidden</li>
<li>Enable Sold Individually</li>
<li>Disable Sold Individually</li>
</ul>
<p>These actions can work alone or combine with others if the time conditions are properly chosen. With other complicated goals, at least 2 actions are needed to complete.</p>
<h4>Time Conditionals</h4>
<p>Each action only carries 1 DATE & 1 TIME part at maximum. All the chosen conditionals must be unifying and meaningful. The relationship between conditionals in each action is the AND type, not OR type, so you must set the date and time that make sense and can be satisfied.</p>
<ul>
<li>Incorrect: Weekly on every Thursday, Friday >> Correct: These are two date parts (2 weekdays, must separate them into 2 actions: [Action 1] Weekly on every Thursday, [Action 2] Weekly on every Friday.</li>
<li>Incorrect: Daily time range: 6 AM-6 PM, 8 PM-10 PM >> Correct: These are two time ranges, must separate them into 2 actions: [Action 1] Daily time range: 6 AM-6 PM, [Action 2] Daily time range: 8 PM-10 PM.</li>
<li>Correct: Weekly on every Monday, Daily time range: 6 AM-6 PM >> This is achievable, which means “from 6 AM to 6 PM (time part) of every Monday of each week (date part)”</li>
<li>Correct: On odd dates, Weekly on every Monday >> This is achievable and applicable to any day that satisfies BOTH conditions: “24 hours of all odd dates that are Mondays of the week”.</li>
<li>Correct: Date range: 01-31 March, Weekly on Every Monday, Daily after time: 5 PM >> This is achievable and applicable to any day that satisfies all conditions, which means “after 5 PM of all Mondays in March.”</li>
</ul>
<p>There are even more achievable complex date and time combinations with WPC Product Timers as long as you can create meaningful conditionals that are satisfiable with the “AND” relationship among them. Learn more at the <a href="https://doc.wpclever.net/woopt/" rel="nofollow ugc">Online Documentation</a>.</p>
<h4>User-friendly & Easy-to-Use Interface</h4>
<p>Being able to tackle even the most complicated series of actions with complex user-defined timeframes, however, WPC Product Timer has a truly intuitive admin interface. There’s no need for users to configure any settings as everything is built-in and ready to use already. Users can start using this plugin right away without the need to go through the documentation. All functions are straight-forward even to beginners.</p>
