Overview

About this plugin

Saturday Site Blocker helps site owners observe Shabbat by displaying a customizable overlay on the front-end of the website during Shabbat hours.

Features:

  • Automatically fetches Shabbat start and end times based on user-defined location.
  • Displays a customizable overlay with title and message during Shabbat.
  • Allows administrators to bypass the overlay for site management purposes.
