Title: Auto Refresh page Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Auto Refresh page * [lkavadoy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lkavadoy/) * (@lkavadoy) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-refresh-page/) * Is it possible for the page to refresh itself when the server side code is set to show the hidden content, and then refresh again to hide it when the content expires? I would like to schedule multiple events, so I’d prefer to use the Timed Content Rules, but if someone is already on the page and the event is triggered, they won’t see it right now without a refresh. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/timed-content/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/timed-content/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [ecros](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ecros/) * (@ecros) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-refresh-page/#post-5596027) * Thanks for asking for this! It’s the exact same thing I was going to ask for. * I run a site where we have a chat room and all watch the same video and comment. It would be ideal to have this appear and disappear without the page reload as often times the users all refresh at the exact same moment and the site crashes. They get there early to chat with one another before the video begins and it seems it would help server load if they did not need to refresh the page. * Thanks for an outstanding plugin! * Plugin Contributor [K.

I think this is a great idea in principle, so I’m hoping you can help me flesh out how this would work in practice. * [ecros](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ecros/) * (@ecros) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-refresh-page/#post-5596031) * Again, thank you so much for this. THe more I dig in, the better this gets. * However, I am still trying to work on the right combination. Currently I am trying your method of combining timed events to display something first, auto-refresh to a new item and then time out to a third. * My scenario is this. I want to place a graphic on a page that is there every day of the week. Once the correct time is reached on say Friday night, I would like the graphic to disappear, be auto-replaced by the movie and once the movie is over display a thank you message for an hour. Then I would like it to go back to the original graphic and have that show until the next movie. * I have been testing combinations but just ended up removing the code for now. Can you tell me how to accomplish what I’d like to do? * Thanks so much! * [ecros](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ecros/) * (@ecros) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-refresh-page/#post-5596046) * K. Tough, any solution for what I am trying to do? This is really important for me! * Plugin Contributor [K.

Make sure you put them all on weekly schedules. * While they won’t refresh for anyone who’s sitting on the page for hours, they will show the correct content for anyone who visits the page at the appropriate time. * [lakepointe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lakepointe/) * (@lakepointe) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-refresh-page/#post-5596116) * ecros, I have the same scenario as you.
