<p>Widget Visibility Time Scheduler displays and hides widgets based on desired date, time and weekday automatically.</p>
<p>Try it out on your free demo site https://demo.tastewp.com/widget-visibility-time-scheduler</p>
<p>The plugin is available in English, Spanish (Español), German (Deutsch), Brazilian Portuguese (Português do Brasil), Persian (Farsi), Hungarian (Magyar), Arabic (العربية), Polish (Polski) and Catalan (Català). It does not collect any personal data, so it is ready for EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance.</p>
<p>NOTE: Widget Visibility Time Scheduler is currently NOT compatible with WordPress 5.8 introduced block-based widgets editor. If you have already updated to WordPress 5.8, or you want to do this, but you want to still use Widget Visibility Time Scheduler you need to switch back to the classic widget editor. For this we provided a new setting page where you can do this.<br />
If you don’t want to do this, Widget Visibility Time Scheduler is not the right plugin for you.</p>
<h3>Compatibility with block based widgets</h3>
<p>With WordPress 5.8 the block based widgets were introduced. The technique behind these new widget concept is more complex. One of the changes is, the widgets are now using API call to display.<br />
Extensive programming is required to prepare Widget Visibility Time Scheduler for this new feature. Nothing I could do in the short time I was able to test this feature.<br />
Even so, Widget Visibility Time Scheduler works with WordPress 5.8 and higher. The only adjustment you need to make is to turn off the block-based widgets for a while.<br />
As known from the Gutenberg block editor, there is also a plug-in to deactivate the block-based widgets.</p>
<p>Please download, install and activate <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-widgets/" rel="ugc">Classic Widgets</a> from wordpress.org and switch back to the usual widget area.</p>
<p>I’m working hard to make Widget Visibility Time Scheduler compatible for the block based widgets. It takes some time to provide a stable and error-free code base.<br />
Stay tuned for a brand-new version soon. And thank you for your understanding.</p>
