        Does this plugin work with WooCommerce?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. 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.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        How does the live status update work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        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.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I show different hours for a lunch break?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Each day supports up to 4 time slots. Add a morning slot (e.g. 09:00\u201312:00) and an afternoon slot (13:00\u201317:00) to show a lunch break.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What happens on a holiday?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        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).<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does it affect my SEO?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes, positively. The plugin outputs a LocalBusiness<\/code> JSON-LD schema block with openingHours<\/code> property, which Google uses to display opening hours in rich results and Knowledge Panels.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Is it compatible with block themes?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. The Gutenberg block, shortcode, and widget all work with block themes (FSE), classic themes, and page builders.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        How do I add my address and phone to the schema?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Use the webtend_bh_schema_data<\/code> filter to merge additional Schema.org properties:<\/p>\n\n

        add_filter( 'webtend_bh_schema_data', function( $schema ) {\n    $schema['telephone'] = '+1-800-555-0100';\n    $schema['address']   = array(\n        '@type'           => 'PostalAddress',\n        'streetAddress'   => '123 Main St',\n        'addressLocality' => 'Springfield',\n    );\n    return $schema;\n} );\n<\/code><\/pre><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
