Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Shorcodes

The plugin provide two shorcodes to schedule content.

start: Start date and time

stop: Stop date and time

path: path of the page/post to show during above times. See FAQ section for detail of this parameter.

2. show_now_default

This shortcode sets a default page/post that is served when there is no page/post schedule at the time of visit.

It is important that you put this shortcode at the end of schedule. See example below.

Example:

To schedule two pages the-morning-star and the-night-star use following shortcode in a page/post:

00” path = the-morning-star ]

00” path = the-night-star ]

[show_now_default path = the-evening-star ]

The page with path the-evening-star will be served to visitor in case there is no page/post scheduled at the time of visit.
