WXP Opening Times has one shortcode. It shows the opening times of a schedule and whether you are open right now. You can also use the Opening times block in the block editor or the widget in Elementor; they offer the same settings.

Good to know #
- Yes and no: wherever a parameter takes
yesorno, you may also writetrue,1oronfor yes. Anything else counts as no. - Texts: the
text_*parameters win over the words you set for the schedule in the admin. Leave them out to use the words of the schedule. - Time zone: the times follow the time zone, week start and time format in Settings → General.
- Page cache: the open/closed status is refreshed in the browser when the page was cached for more than five minutes, and at the moment the status changes.
- Own layout: a template in your theme is used when you give its name to
template. Copy a file from the plugin’s templates folder to start from. - Showing the code in a page: WordPress runs shortcodes everywhere in the content, also inside code blocks. To show a shortcode as text, write it with double brackets, like in this guide.
