Idara Business Hours<\/strong> is a focused, single-purpose Gutenberg block that shows your weekly opening hours in a clean, accessible table \u2014 with a live \"Open now \/ Closed\"<\/strong> status pill that updates in the visitor's browser against your<\/em> business timezone, so it never goes stale behind page caching.<\/p>\n\n

It also emits optional LocalBusiness schema.org markup<\/strong> (JSON-LD) so search engines can show your hours directly in results.<\/p>\n\n

Idara (\u0625\u062f\u0627\u0631\u0629) is the Arabic word for \"administration\" or \"management\". Idara Studio is a one-person studio building a growing family of carefully crafted, single-purpose Gutenberg blocks.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Why this and not a full block suite?<\/h4>\n\n

Most block plugins ship 30+ blocks you'll never use, slowing your editor and your frontend. Idara plugins are deliberately small. This one loads its CSS and JavaScript only on pages where the block is present<\/strong> \u2014 never globally.<\/p>\n\n

      Development<\/h3>\n\n

      Source code and build tools are available on GitHub:\nhttps:\/\/github.com\/sajid-ansari-65\/idara-business-hours<\/p>\n\n

      The src\/<\/code> directory contains the unminified JavaScript (ES modules, JSX) and SCSS. Run npm install && npm run build<\/code> to compile.<\/p>\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>, or install via Plugins \u2192 Add New \u2192 Upload Plugin<\/strong><\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> menu<\/li>\n
      3. Open any post or page in the block editor<\/li>\n
      4. Insert the Business Hours<\/strong> block where you want it displayed<\/li>\n
      5. Set your weekly hours, then configure status, time format, and schema from the block settings sidebar<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n

        How does the \"Open now\" status stay accurate with page caching?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        The status is computed in the visitor's browser using the WordPress Interactivity API, comparing the current time in your<\/em> business timezone against your hours. Because it runs client-side after the page loads, it stays correct even when the HTML is served from a CDN or page cache.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Which timezone is used?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        By default the block uses your WordPress site timezone (Settings \u2192 General). You can override it per block if a particular location is in a different timezone.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I set different hours for the morning and afternoon?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Each day supports multiple time ranges (split shifts) \u2014 add as many open\u2192close ranges per day as you need.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does it support holidays or one-off hours?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Add Special hours<\/strong> for specific dates to override the weekly schedule (for example, closed on a public holiday, or reduced hours on a particular day).<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What is the LocalBusiness schema for?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        It outputs structured data (JSON-LD) describing your business name, address, phone, and opening hours in a format search engines understand, which can improve how your hours appear in local search results. It's optional, and only the fields you fill in are included.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Will this slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. The block ships no jQuery and makes zero external requests. Its CSS and JavaScript are enqueued only on pages that actually contain the block<\/strong> \u2014 never site-wide.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does this plugin track users or send data anywhere?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. Everything runs locally on your site. No external requests, no analytics, no tracking.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
