Configure a weekly schedule (supports **HH:MM**), optionally enable **Busy mode**, or override everything with **Force Closed** or **Open 24/7**. You can also start an **Idle override** (“Back in…”) timer when you’re away. StatusDot can show status text + a live countdown, for example: **Open now — Closes in 04:52:14** Updates are handled via lightweight AJAX polling, so visitors see changes without a full page refresh. Place it anywhere using the shortcode. Multiple instances per page are supported. ### Features * Weekly opening hours (HH:MM, including minutes) * Overnight hours supported (set the close time earlier than the open time) * Optional break windows during Weekly Schedule and Open 24/7 * Optional pre-break warnings before scheduled breaks * Status modes: - Use Opening Hours (Weekly Schedule) - Force Closed - Open 24/7 * Manual Busy mode (orange status) * Idle override (“Back in…”) with start/stop and countdown * Display options: - Toggle status text (Open/Busy/Closed) - Toggle countdown label + time per state (Closes in / Opens in / Back in) - Separator selection (-, —, |, •) - Optional light text (white) output for dark backgrounds * Live countdowns to the next opening, closing, break end, or idle return * AJAX-based live updates (configurable refresh interval) * Unlimited shortcodes per page * Works with major page builders (Gutenberg, Elementor, etc.) * Lightweight and dependency-free ### Shortcode Basic usage: [statusdot] Optional attributes: [statusdot id=”header” refresh=”20″] * `id` – Optional unique identifier (useful for targeting with custom CSS). Default: header * `refresh` – Refresh interval in seconds (default: 20) ## Screenshots * [[ * Frontend example showing Open / Busy / Closed with live countdown * [[ * Frontend Idle override example with “Back in” countdown * [[ * Frontend break status example with live return countdown * [[ * Main settings page with weekly schedule, breaks, and display options * [[ * Dark-background frontend output with light text enabled ## Installation 1.

Each instance updates independently. ### Can I override the schedule? Yes. Use **Force Closed**, **Open 24/7**, **Busy mode**, or the **Idle override** timer. ### Does it work with page builders? Yes. StatusDot works with Gutenberg, Elementor, and other builders. ### Does it affect performance? StatusDot is lightweight and only makes a small AJAX request at the interval you set. ### Are additional features available?
