After installing WXP Opening Times the actual creation of the schedule is quite easy.
By default there is one schedule, called default, which is always available, but you can create additional schedules by clicking the ‘Add schedule’ button on top.
After pressing the ‘Add Schedule’ button is pressed, a second schedule appears.
In this way you can have multiple schedules on your site. This can be convenient for example when you want to make a distinction between the restaurant opening times and the opening times for the take-away service.
Setting the name #
Next step is setting the name for your schedule. The first schedule always will be ‘default’, the next schedules will create a name based on the name you’ll give it. To remember which schedule name belongs with which slug, it’s good to use some logic in it
The solid button indicates which schedule is now active. The shortcode indicates what is the base for the shortcode required. Please also have a look at the parameters the shortcode takes.
Additionally there are an Elementor Widget and a WordPress Block to show the opening times on the page.
Entering days and times #
Entering a single opening time #
Imagine, your restaurant opens at 17:00 on Monday and closes on 23:00, you simply have to enter de opening and the closing time for that day.
Closing after midnight #
On Tuesday you’ll stay open until after midnight, let’s say to 1:00. When a closing time is before the opening time then it’s assumed the closing time is next day. Like in the example below:
Multiple time blocks #
When you close for a few hours during the day, you can insert a second time-block.
First you have to click or tap the plus behind the time.
A new time-block is added. Please beware that time blocks are not allowed to overlap. Removing the timeblock? Click the X. Add another time-block? Click the + once again. There can be a max of 3 time-blocks per day.
