@magicjohnson Hi, I am not a PHP programmer, this is just based on what I gather but so far it works for me. Its not the best code, maybe someone can help make it better. I added +8 to return the local time in my case; so you have to change this based on what is your GMT.

Btw, this is a plugin so you have to save it as a php file and put in the root of the \plugin folder and activate win wp-admin.

I also added the “locked” text in addition to the additional “Save” button. You can remove this if not needed.
Also added is a link to “Insights” for match_type > 2 — I used it in Euro 2020 for knockout rounds (match_type 2 and above) just to add a manually created page of the match to add some articles or for people to comment on. You can change the match_type, or remove the whole thing if not needed.

AH, this plugin is cool. #4 was the issue 🙂

I’m using a very crude way.. I used the plugin “add stats link to matches” to add this link.. $output .= '<span class="match_info"><a href="'.home_url( '/' ).strtolower($match_info['home_team']).'-vs-'.strtolower($match_info['away_team']).'">X</a></span>';
and create a post with each of the match with the slug above, add fp shortcodes to show the match info manually in that posts, and some other articles.. 🙂 Its manual but it works for now.

wohoo, thanks!

At the moment, the plugin finds users with prediction = 0 and questions = 0 and hide them.

However, if there is a new matchtype where all users have prediction = 0 and question =0 for these particular match type, the plugin displays users that has prediction > 0 and questions >0 from other match type; and hide new users. Can the plugin shows all users if the matchtype has no prediction from any users yet?

Ah — it has a plugin !

Except, would like to show these users in the ranking that has no results yet i.e. below this message “No results yet. Below is a list of all users.”.
