Do you need to provide users with content (i.e. Coupon Codes) only on specific time and date ? Do you want to create Content Dripping on your web pages using nothing but shortcodes ? **WP Chrono** provides you with predefined shortcodes for accomplishing various tasks related to controling WordPress content. If you want to accomplish these things easy: * Show current time anywhere on your site * Show certain parts of your posts/pages on specific dates * Show certain parts of your posts/pages on specific date ranges * Create IF-ELSE rules for displaying your content, related to specific dates * Create lightweight countdown timer (plain JavaScript) with templating support This plugin pays special attention to multilanguage compatibility and e-commerce platforms compatibility: * WPML compatible (https://wpml.org/plugin/wp-chrono/) * WooCommerce Multilingual compatible * qTranslate compatible * WooCommerce compatible Currently supported shortcodes: * [wpch-currentdate] – show current date & time * [wpch-ifdate] – show content on specific date * [wpch-ifdaterange] – show content on specific date range * [wpch-countdowntimer] – create lightweight countdown timer for your content ( templates supported!) Templates: darkblue, blue, darkpurple, purple, green, red, yellow ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/plugin-name` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress 3. Use plugin shortcodes within your posts ## FAQ How to print current date and time? Use this shortcode to preview current date anywhere in your content, and format it as you prefer. * [wpch-currentdate] – May 18th, 2016 * [wpch-currentdate format=”F j, Y g:i a”] – May 18, 2016 9:44 pm * [wpch-currentdate format=”F j, Y”] – May 18, 2016 * [wpch-currentdate format=”F, Y”] – May, 2016 * [wpch-currentdate format=”g:i a”] – 9:44 pm * [wpch-currentdate format=”g:i:s a”] – 9:44:38 pm * [wpch-currentdate format=”M j, Y @ G:i”] – May 18, 2016 @ 9:44 * [wpch-currentdate format=”Y/m/d \a\t g:i A”] – 2016/05/18 9:44 PM * [wpch-currentdate format=”Y/m/d \a\t g:ia”] – 2016/05/18 9:44pm * [wpch-currentdate format=”Y/m/d g:i:s A”] – 2016/05/18 9:44:38 PM * [wpch-currentdate format=”Y/m/d”] – 2016/05/18 * [wpch-currentdate format=”g:i:s A”] – 9:44:38 PM * [wpch-currentdate format=”g:i:s P”] – 9:44:38 +03:00 How to show customized content on specific date? For example, create logic that will print some content specifically on 7th April, year 2016. We will use wpch-ifdate shortcode with date attribute. Format of date attribute **must be** yyyy/mm/dd, so our date entry will be “2016/04/07”, and short code will look like this. ``` [wpch-ifdate date="2016/04/07"]This is content that will be printed only on 7th April, year 2016. This content supports all WP editor native functions, so what you see if what you get. [else]This is part of the content that will be printed if day is not 7th April, so before or after it! :)[/wpch-ifdate] ``` How to handle date ranges? Example shortcode use for **date ranges between 1st April and 10th April of 2016.** ``` [wpch-ifdaterange fromdate="2016/04/01" todate="2016/04/10" ]This is content that will be printed only for range 1st to 10th April, year 2016. This content supports all WP editor native functions, so what you see if what you get.[else]This is part of the content that will be printed if day is not within a given range.[/wpch-ifdaterange] ``` Example shortcode use for **date ranges between 1st March and 10th March of 2016.** ``` [wpch-ifdaterange fromdate="2016/03/01" todate="2017/05/17"] This copy will be printed if range is between 2016/03/01 and 2017/05/17 :) :) YAY! For, example, we have some promo codes, which changes from day to day: [wpch-ifdate date="2016/04/20"]Promo code for today is: MyPromoCode-001[/wpch-ifdate] [wpch-ifdate date="2016/04/21"]Promo code for today is: MyPromoCode-002[/wpch-ifdate] [wpch-ifdate date="2016/04/22"]Promo code for today is: MyPromoCode-003[/wpch-ifdate] [wpch-ifdate date="2016/04/23"]Promo code for today is: MyPromoCode-004[/wpch-ifdate] [wpch-ifdate date="2016/04/24"]Promo code for today is: MyPromoCode-005[/wpch-ifdate] [else] This is part of the content that will be printed if day is not within a given range. [/wpch-ifdaterange] ``` How to create Lightweight Countdown Timer? Use one of predefined templates to quickly create light weight CountDown timer, using this shortcode: ``` [wpch-countdowntimer name="first" date="25 Dec 2018 13:30:00 GMT" template="darkblue"] This is content that will be previewed after counter finished countdown. Note: This content in CSS hidden, so it's visible inside code at client side. [/wpch-countdowntimer] ``` ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8bc5ea502918dbfc1d1bba036816906f74733b73c48b4166eb6e6e8f93e1180b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfectly Written, Perfect Execution](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfectly-written-perfect-execution/)󠁿 [Ronald Garrison](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rgarrison/) 9 พฤษภาคม 2018 Worked perfectly just as written.
