توضیحات
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

سوالات متداول
-
How do I show content on a recurring schedule?
-
Use the Recurring mode in the block sidebar, or the shortcode
daysparameter:[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_timeorend_day_time(or both) must be provided. Ifstart_day_timeis omitted, “now” is used. Ifend_day_timeis omitted, content is shown permanently after the start time. -
Can I show content only after a certain date?
-
Yes! Use
start_day_timewithoutend_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.
