- The clocks display the current time, even if the user’s computer clock is wrong.
- Automatic adjustment for Daylight Saving Time
- All major time zones supported
- Customizable and easy to use with shortcode
Quick Start
-
Put the following shortcode anywhere on your post or page to create a GMT/UTC clock:
[worldtime] -
Use the ‘places’ parameter to specify the clock’s time zone:
[worldtime places="Paris"] -
List several places separated by a comma. This will create multiple world clocks in a stack (currently maximum 6)
[worldtime places="Rome, New York"]
The name of the location has to match exactly with a name in the list of the locations. For a complete list of all locations visit

What else you need to know
This plugin utilizes services provided by TimeAndDate.com and is brought to you with their friendly permission.
TimeAndDate’s condition of use stipulates a maximum of 6 clocks per page. In future this limit will be removed however for now it is important to stick to it as each clock creates a connection to their server (and ours). TimeAndDate also requires a separate link to their site if more than two clocks are used.

manually by uploading the entire plugin folder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
