Show your customers exactly when you’re open, automatically update to “Closed” status after hours, and let search engines discover your opening times through Schema.org markup — all without any coding. Whether you run a local shop, a restaurant, a clinic, or a service business, Webtend Business Hours Manager gives you everything you need in a clean, fast, and developer- friendly package. #### ✅ Features **Weekly Schedule Builder** Set open and close times for each day of the week. Add multiple time slots per day to handle lunch breaks or split shifts — up to 4 slots per day. **Live Open/Closed Status** A real-time badge automatically shows whether you’re currently open or closed, with a next-open/next-close countdown. Updates via AJAX without page reload. **Holiday & Special Dates Manager** Mark specific dates as closed or with custom hours. Holidays always override the weekly schedule. Easily manage upcoming and past entries from the admin. **Timezone Support** Configure a dedicated timezone for your location. All open/ closed calculations run against your local time, not the server clock. **Schema.org Markup** Automatically outputs a `LocalBusiness` JSON-LD script with your `openingHours` property. Improves rich results in Google Search — no configuration needed. **Gutenberg Block** Insert your business hours table anywhere using the native block editor. Live server-side preview in the editor. Supports wide/full alignment and colour controls. **Classic Widget** Add business hours to any widget area via Appearance Widgets. Supports both the block-based widget editor and classic widget screens. **Shortcode** Use `[webtend_business_hours]` anywhere — pages, posts, sidebars, custom templates. Optional `show_status` attribute to toggle the live badge. #### 🔌 Integration * Works with any WordPress theme — block themes, classic themes, and page builders * No template overrides — output is injected via hooks and shortcodes only * AJAX status refresh works without page reload * Zero jQuery dependency — vanilla ES6 throughout * Translation-ready with full `.pot` file #### 👨‍💻 For Developers Webtend Business Hours is built with extensibility in mind: * Clean PSR-4 namespace structure under `WebtendBusinessHours\` * Full filter/action API for overriding output, schema data, and status logic * `webtend_bh_output_schema` filter — conditionally disable JSON-LD per page * `webtend_bh_schema_type` filter — change `LocalBusiness` to any Schema.org type * `webtend_bh_schema_data` filter — add custom fields (address, phone, geo) to the schema ## Screenshots [⌊Weekly schedule builder — toggle days, add multiple time slots for lunch breaks⌉⌊ Weekly schedule builder — toggle days, add multiple time slots for lunch breaks⌉[ Weekly schedule builder — toggle days, add multiple time slots for lunch breaks [⌊Live open/closed status badge on the frontend⌉⌊Live open/closed status badge on the frontend⌉[ Live open/closed status badge on the frontend [⌊Holiday manager — add closed dates or custom hours for special dates⌉⌊Holiday manager — add closed dates or custom hours for special dates⌉[ Holiday manager — add closed dates or custom hours for special dates [⌊Settings panel — timezone, labels, Schema.org toggle⌉⌊Settings panel — timezone, labels, Schema.org toggle⌉[ Settings panel — timezone, labels, Schema.org toggle [⌊Gutenberg block with live editor preview⌉⌊Gutenberg block with live editor preview⌉[ Gutenberg block with live editor preview [⌊Classic widget in the widget editor⌉⌊Classic widget in the widget editor⌉[ Classic widget in the widget editor ## Installation 1.

The free version works alongside WooCommerce with no conflicts. WooCommerce- specific features (checkout disable, order cutoff countdown, click & collect) are coming in the Pro version. ### How does the live status update work? The plugin uses a lightweight AJAX poll (configurable interval, default 60 seconds). The status badge updates without a page reload. Set the interval to 0 in Settings to disable automatic refresh entirely. ### Can I show different hours for a lunch break? Yes. Each day supports up to 4 time slots. Add a morning slot (e.g. 09:00–12:00) and an afternoon slot (13:00–17:00) to show a lunch break. ### What happens on a holiday? Holidays override the weekly schedule entirely. You can mark a holiday as fully closed, or set custom hours for that day (e.g. reduced Christmas Eve hours). ### Does it affect my SEO? Yes, positively. The plugin outputs a `LocalBusiness` JSON-LD schema block with ` openingHours` property, which Google uses to display opening hours in rich results and Knowledge Panels. ### Is it compatible with block themes? Yes. The Gutenberg block, shortcode, and widget all work with block themes (FSE), classic themes, and page builders. ### How do I add my address and phone to the schema? Use the `webtend_bh_schema_data` filter to merge additional Schema.org properties: ``` add_filter( 'webtend_bh_schema_data', function( $schema ) { $schema['telephone'] = '+1-800-555-0100'; $schema['address'] = array( '@type' => 'PostalAddress', 'streetAddress' => '123 Main St', 'addressLocality' => 'Springfield', ); return $schema; } ); ``` ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Webtend Business Hours Manager” is open source software.
