About this plugin
Add a world clock to your WordPress site in seconds. Choose from five clock widget styles — a digital clock, an analog clock, a multi-city world clock, a spinning 3D globe, or a date card. Every clock updates in real time in the visitor’s own browser, so there is no API key, no server calls, and nothing to configure to get started.
Show a single time zone, or up to eight cities side by side — useful for remote teams, travel sites, international stores, and anyone whose readers are not in one place.

External services
Wiki, operated by CurrencyWiki Technologies LLC.
What the service is and what it is used for
wiki. The plugin does not bundle that script; it builds an embed URL and loads the widget from the service. This is what allows the plugin to stay small and to receive style and localization improvements without a plugin update.
What data is sent, and when
- On every page view where a clock is displayed, the visitor’s browser requests the widget script from https://widget.currency.wiki/time/v3/script.js. That request carries the display settings you configured (style, theme, accent color, hour format, time zone or city list, language) as URL parameters, plus a source=wp marker indicating the request came from the WordPress plugin. As with any web request, the visitor’s IP address and user agent are visible to the server.
- No personal data is collected, and no cookies are set. The current time is computed in the visitor’s own browser from the operating system clock and the standard Intl time zone database — it is never requested from the server.
- In the WordPress admin, two screens show live previews from https://widget.currency.wiki/time/v3/embed (each flagged preview=1 so it is not counted as a site using the widget), which send the same display settings listed above: the plugin’s settings screen renders a small gallery of the five styles, and the block editor renders a live preview while you configure a block. No personal data is sent from the admin.
