We’re Open!

The plugin has an end-user-friendly interface to enter the standard opening hours and any exceptions. Then just add a shortcode on your page and you're done.

Easy way to get opening hours and exceptions on your webpage


+ Plugin uses local names of days by default, like Monday is Pondělí in Czech language. + Comes with built-in documentation for advantage use. For me I managed to have dynamic generated sentence, like: It's open now and we are closing at 22:00. Which change on closed hours for sentence It's closed now. We are opening today at 16:00. Or sentence It's closed now, we are opening tomorrow at 16:00. Code for that is listed bottom here.+ I managed to have table of opening hours simplified to my needs. I managed to set Weekdays renamed to Monday - Thuersday 16:00 - 22:00. Folowed by Weekend renamed to Friday - Saturday 16:00 - 23:00. And Sunday doesn't match any of this categories so it's showing all time like Sunday -closed-.+++ I love plugin let me do this thinks only by user settings without need of coding. 



Code for sentence, to easier your life:



[open_text]%if_open% Dnes otevřeno do %today_end%. %else% Právě máme zavřeno.%end% %if_closed%%if_open_later% %space% Otevíráme dnes od %today_start%. %else% %if_open_tomorrow% %space% Otevíráme zítra od %tomorrow_start%. %end% %end% [/open_text]


Everything you need just in one plugin. Totaly customizable. Avesome!

Opening hours for your business, a joy to manage and highly customizable. Conditional excerpts; conditional/replacement text; Structured Data for SEO.
