* 🚪 Logged-out users only<br />

<p>Specify the start and end date / times you’d like content enclosed by the shortcode to be displayed during.  Optionally include a message or different content to display once that time period has passed.</p>
<h4>Shortcodes:</h4>
<p>Insert <code>[display_during end_day_time="June 27, 2018 10:00 am" message="Sorry, this content no longer available."]CONTENT_TO_DISPLAY[/display_during]</code> into any post or page to conditionally display whatever is inside of the shortcode.  The <code>message</code> parameter you specify will display if the start and end time parameters are not currently valid.</p>
<p>All shortcode parameters:</p>
<pre><code>[display_during start_day_time="Sun 8:00 am" end_day_time="Mon 8:00 pm" timezone_location="America/Denver" message="Sorry, this content is not currently available."]CONTENT_TO_DISPLAY[/display_during]
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li><code>start_day_time</code> – OPTIONAL – What day/time or time of day should the contents start being displayed?</li>
<li><code>end_day_time</code> – REQUIRED – What day/time or time of day should the content of the shortcode stop being displayed?</li>
<li><code>timezone_location</code> – OPTIONAL – The timezone uses by default whatever is set for the site in Settings > General.  You can use this optional parameter to specify a different timezone location.  Uses the standard <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php" rel="nofollow ugc">PHP timezones</a></li>
</ul>
