Special Hours Widget/Shortcode

@twmcmahan It’s not part of the shortcode, these are special opening hours in the main We’re Open! page in the Dashboard.

You can set as many special opening hours as you wish for specific dates.

There is a shortcode parameter to only show regular or special opening hours, but that’s not going to set any new data.

@twmcmahan I just re-read the question – there isn’t something that picks out only the Special opening hours and nothing else… I think this would make for a very useful addition and I’ll add this in the next update.

For now, you can set a date range and select to display Special opening hours for this range, but it may be less useful to you than isolating all of the particular dates (similar to what you see in the Dashboard).

I’ll work on this soon, so you can apply it in the near future.

@twmcmahan I have updated to the plugin to version 1.19 with better support for just Regular or just Special opening hours. You will also be able to set very long date ranges (up to a year minus a week) for special opening hours.

An example shortcode would be:

[opening_hours regular=false day_format="full_date_month_first_comma" start="2020/12/01" end="2021/11/30"]

@twmcmahan I have also added a demo (see the last entry):

https://demo.designextreme.com/were-open/#table

Doesn’t work.

I use this code (below) based on your example and get no results, even though I have the following (copied below) defined as Exceptions or Holidays.

[open class=”hours-right closed-bold” day_format=”full_date_month_nos” regular=false start=”2021/01/01″ end=”2021/12/31″]

Sunday, April 4 Closed
Friday, April 16 Closed
Monday, May 31 Closed
Sunday, July 4 Closed
Monday, September 6 Closed
Friday, October 8 Closed
Saturday, October 16 Closed

@rflewelling Thanks for letting me know… I’ll have a look into this very soon using the details provided.

@rflewelling Two points to check:

1. Use the Temporary Closure functionality to cover the range of dates (if you haven’t)
2. Have you set to display days that are marked as “Closed”? If so, you’ll get a lot of nothing showing up for this – you’ll need to show Closed days (in the settings).

The second point is the most important as I presume you’ve used the Temporary Closure.

Thanks!

I have used the Exceptions and Holidays functionality for the dates I listed above, as they are exceptions and holidays.

Show closed days is checked in settings.

@rflewelling Thanks for clarifying. I’ll see if I can replicate this issue.

@rflewelling I found the issue where it reverts to a 7-day range – I will change it to a year and a week. There will be release a new version with a fix shortly.

@rflewelling Please download version 1.20.

ok, will do. FYI, every time I upgrade to a new version, it shifts my opening hours a day so I have to re-set them every time I upgrade the plugin. I can send a screen shot if necessary.

Also, the modified date for the change is never accurately reflected in the settings.

tested this shortcode again with update and still no display

[open class=”hours-right closed-bold” day_format=”full_date_month_nos” regular=false start=”2021/01/01″ end=”2021/12/31″]

@rflewelling Thanks so much for this information. I’ll be sure to check this and produce a fix – probably by altering how the upgrade process works as the “proper” WordPress method doesn’t work as expected.

Did you mean the regular or special opening hours?

Please email me the details, including the time zone – wordpress dash plugins at designextreme dot com.

Thanks again!

@rflewelling I did use the details you placed here for testing… It’s not cached is it?

Drop me an email and I’ll look at it again to ensure it’s sorted for everyone.
