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.

Overview

About this plugin

Stuff & Things Business Hours shows your opening hours and a live open/closed status anywhere on your site.

  • Live status — “Open now” or “Closed”, with an optional detail like “Closes at 5:00 PM” or “Opens tomorrow at 9:00 AM”.
  • Cache-safe & DST-safe — the status is recalculated in each visitor’s browser using your chosen timezone, so a cached page never shows the wrong status, and daylight-saving changes are handled automatically.
  • Weekly hours with split hours per day (e.g. a lunch break).
  • Timezone picker with a live clock in the admin so you can confirm it’s right.
  • Holidays & special dates — mark days closed or set special hours, with a one-click “load common US holidays” helper.
  • Temporary closure / vacation mode — show as closed for a holiday week or emergency without touching your schedule.
  • Shortcodes + widget — [open_now], [business_hours], and an “Stuff & Things Business Hours” widget.
  • Optional schema — output openingHoursSpecification JSON-LD for your site’s rich results.

No accounts, no upsells, and no external services — everything runs on your own site.

Shortcodes

  • [open_now] — the live status badge.
  • [business_hours] — the weekly hours table (add status="no" to hide the badge).

Note on Google

The optional schema helps search engines understand your website. The hours shown in a Google Business Profile (the Search/Maps panel) are managed in that profile, not by site schema.
