    Hello!

    Just wondering if I could shut automatically down my whole site for let’s say 9:00 to 5:00, everyday, and also have it automatically live for the remaining other hours outside of those I mentioned.

    Please let me know.
    Thanks!

    You cannot. However, doing so would be fairly easy. Use a conditional to check the time and call wp_die to display a message when the store is closed. You could put this function in your functionality plugin.

    Unfortunately I don’t understand how to do that. Could you give me an example or do you know if there is some kind of tutorial I can read for doing that?

    Something like:

    function redirect_hours() {
	if ( date( 'H:i:s', current_time( 'timestamp' ) ) > 09:00:00 && date( 'H:i:s', current_time( 'timestamp' ) ) < 17:00:00 ) {
		wp_die( 'Sorry, the site is closed', 'Site closed' );
	} else {
		return;
	}
}

do_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_hours' );
