Smooth Directory is a simple way to add a business directory to a WordPress site. The public view of the directory is a simple, responsive two-column view, while the WP admin is extremely easy to use.
The plugin is ready to start using right out of the box by navigating to /businesses and is easily extendable by developers by overwriting the two public facing templates and styles.
The directory comes with built-in pagination, category filtering and alphabet filtering.
There are quite a few WordPress directory plugins, but if you’re looking for a responsive, easy to get going (and easy for clients to manage) business directory plugin, Smooth Directory will work great for you!

The Business Hours Plugin allows you to post your daily working hours and show it to your visitors:
<ul>
<li>In a configurable and templatable widget.</li>
<li>In a page / post using shortcodes</li>
</ul>
You’ll be able to choose between showing only today’s working hours, or a collapsible table with the hours for each day of the week. 
If you want to show only today’s working hours, the plugin will check your timezone settings to calculate which day to show.
Also, Business Hours is 100% translatable to your language. 
We’ve included language files for:
<ul>
<li>Spanish</li>
<li>Dutch</li>
</ul>
If you want to help me translate this plugin to your language, please drop me a line or contact me in the <a href="https://wordpress.org/tags/business-hours-plugin#postform" rel="ugc">support forum</a>

Business Hours Plugin

We've been using this plugin for years, and we test it when there is a WordPress update, but it was written well and still works well.
We like that it has an exceptions setting, so we can enter holidays and other exceptions to our working hours.
As mentioned, this plugin does not handle 'split hours' well.  If you have opening hours with a lunch break, this could be handled in the message output, such as:
[businesshours closed="Today we are closed."]Today we work from {{TodayOpen}} to {{TodayClose}} closed for lunch from 1PM until 2PM[/businesshours]
but if your closed period varies from day to day, this will not work for you.
Overall, a tight, well written plugin that solves our needs and we've been using it for years.  Might be time for an update to add some new features though... hint, hint.



Even though it's not updated, this still works well!

Business Hours lets you show to your visitors the time you open and close your business each day of the week.
