Display content conditionally based on a schedule. Choose from three scheduling modes:

Date Range – Show content between specific start and end dates
Recurring – Show content on specific days of the week during a time window
Custom – Use PHP strtotime expressions for flexible scheduling

Gutenberg Block

The Display During block provides a visual editor with:

Sidebar controls for all three scheduling modes
Date/time pickers for start and end dates
Day-of-week checkboxes for recurring schedules
Live status indicator (active/inactive)
Optional fallback message when content is hidden
Copy as Shortcode toolbar button

Shortcodes

The [display_during] shortcode works in the Classic Editor and anywhere shortcodes are supported.

Date range:
[display_during start_day_time=“June 1, 2026 8:00 am“ end_day_time=“December 31, 2026 11:59 pm“]Content here[/display_during]

Recurring schedule (new in 2.0):
[display_during days=“mon,wed,fri“ start_time=“09:00″ end_time=“17:00″]Office hours content[/display_during]

Custom strtotime:
[display_during start_day_time=“Sun 8:00 am“ end_day_time=“Mon 8:00 pm“]Weekend content[/display_during]

With fallback message:
[display_during end_day_time=“June 1, 2026″]Register now![display_during_message]Registration has closed.[/display_during_message][/display_during]

start_day_time – When to start showing content (strtotime string or date)

FAQ

How do I show content on a recurring schedule?

Use the Recurring mode in the block sidebar, or the shortcode days parameter:

[display_during days="mon,wed,fri" start_time="09:00" end_time="17:00"]Weekday content[/display_during]

What are valid time settings for start_day_time and end_day_time?

The plugin uses PHP’s strtotime() function. You can specify a specific date (e.g. „June 27, 2026 10:00 am“) or a relative expression (e.g. „Sun 8:00 am“, „Today 9am“).

Either start_day_time or end_day_time (or both) must be provided. If start_day_time is omitted, „now“ is used. If end_day_time is omitted, content is shown permanently after the start time.

Can I show content only after a certain date?

Yes! Use start_day_time without end_day_time:
[display_during start_day_time=“June 1, 2026 8:00 am“ message=“Coming soon!“]Content[/display_during]

Can I show rich fallback content instead of plain text?

Yes! Use the nested [display_during_message] shortcode:
[display_during end_day_time=“June 1, 2026″]Main content[display_during_message]Sorry, this is no longer available.[/display_during_message][/display_during]

In the block editor, check „Show optional message when not displayed“ to reveal the message zone.

Does the block work with the Classic Editor?

Yes. The block saves a real shortcode in the post content, so it round-trips cleanly between the Block Editor and Classic Editor.

Can I convert existing shortcodes to blocks?

Yes. The plugin includes a shortcode-to-block transform. Existing [display_during] shortcodes can be converted using the „Convert to Blocks“ feature.

Is support available?

Yes, use the contact form on the ShareThePractice.org website.

Very simple, flexible and useful plugin. Saved a lot of time that would have otherwise been spent coding.

I use this widget in my event calender to display the weather forecast using two different views. If there are 2-7 days left until the event starts I use the 7-day forecast widget. If there are less than 2 days left I use the intraday-weather forecast of another widget. That works great!
