Schedule HTML sections to be shown or not based on a date range using a simple shortcode.
Right now the plug-in is enabled by using the rotator shortcode. For example, To specify we want to show a specific piece of HTML from 9am to 5pm you can use the following code:
[rotator start=”9am” end=”5pm”]
 Some custom HTML.
[/rotator]
Where start and end parameters are using the date format specified in the <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.php" rel="nofollow ugc">php manual</a>, so you can specify more specific dates like showing the HTML section all Tuesday between 10am and 11am, etc. Read the Other Notes section for more information.
Note: the hour range is server based time and the default timezone is UTC, in other words, it depends on the configured time of the server, you can set that in <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/general-settings/" rel="nofollow ugc">general settings</a> at the admin console.
There is a page available at “Settings” -> “Schedule generator” in the wp admin console with a basic form which lets you generate the short code configuring different values like start and end times, among others.
<h3>Usage</h3>
Right now the plug-in is enabled by using the rotator shortcode. For example, To specify we want to show a specific piece of HTML from 9am to 5pm you can use the following code:
[rotator start=”9am” end=”5pm”]
 Some custom HTML.
[/rotator]
That will show the contents only if the user access the blog post or page in the specified hour range.
Currently, it supports the following parameters:
<ul>
<li>start: a date to specify the start of the hour range, required.</li>
<li>end: a date to specify the end of the hour range, required.</li>
<li>visible: false to hide the html section, by default true.</li>
<li>inverse: to specify if we want to show the html section outside the our range, by default false.</li>
</ul>
Both start and end are using the date format specified in the <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.php" rel="nofollow ugc">php manual</a>. For example, we can specify the timezone of the hour range:
[rotator start=”9am -0600″ end=”5pm -0600″]…[/rotator]
Note: Using GMT notation doesn’t work in some installations, not sure which php version is required for that to work.
Note: the hour range is server based time and the default timezone is UTC, in other words, it depends on the configured time of the server, you can set that in <a href="http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/general-settings/" rel="nofollow ugc">general settings</a> at the admin console.

Think Up Testimonials rotator uses WP’s native text widgets and a plugin created sidebar. Put your testimonials into individual 
text widgets with the following markup.
<pre><code><h3>Your nice quote from someone saying how great your or business are.</h3><h2>~ Andy Johnson</h2>
</code></pre>
Place the text widget into the sidebar called ‘Think Up Testimonials’. To output the testimonial rotator on the front end, insert 
the function `thinkup_testimonials()“ into your theme template files where you want the rotator to appear. You can also control the 
time for each slide and if you want the rotator to autoplay or not through the callback function.
To create a slider within your template that rotates every 9 secs use the code <code>thinkup_testimonials(9000);</code>
To stop the default auto-rotate of the plugin, add the <code>false</code> parameter to the callback function like this <code>thinkup_testimonials(9000, false);</code>
