Dirigible Hours changelog

1.0.23 2026-10-23

Fixed

• The hours list in the header, utility bar and footer no longer carries leftover openingHours microdata. Your opening hours reach search engines through the site's structured data (JSON-LD), which is unchanged. Nothing changes on the page.

1.0.22 2026-10-22

Changed

• The display settings (Footer Display, Nav Display, Utility Nav Display, Hours Headline, Format, Week Starts On) moved from Appearance → Customize → Dirigible Open Hours onto Dirigible → Hours, in a Display card under the weekly and holiday hours, so everything about hours is on one page with one Save Settings button. Values carry over with nothing to set again, and old Customizer links open the page. Needs the Dirigible theme 5.31.209 or later; older themes keep the Customizer panel.

1.0.21 2026-10-21

Added

• Export Settings under Dirigible → Tools now includes the hours as set on Dirigible → Hours, lunch breaks and holiday dates included, and Import Settings restores them on another site. Before, only each day's first opening and last closing time travelled. Needs the Dirigible theme 5.31.197 or later.
• Saving checks two more things: hours that close after midnight must end before the next day's first hours open, and two holiday entries can't share a date. As before, nothing is saved until they're fixed, and the page links to each field.

Fixed

• Changing one day's hours in the Customizer (or importing settings from an older site) no longer wipes the lunch breaks and late closes of every other day; only that day follows the Customizer. A time written differently but meaning the same (9:00 for 09:00) no longer counts as a change.
• A day that is open around the clock (12:00 AM – 12:00 AM with Closes after midnight) is sent to search engines as open all day. Before, it was sent in the form Google reads as closed all day.

1.0.20 2026-10-21

Changed

• Opening hours go into the site's structured data only when the site is shared as a local business (or a business type chosen in Dirigible SEO, such as Store or Hotel), never on a site shared as an organization, a person or a band. The site's entry is found by its identity rather than its type, so it keeps working as the Dirigible theme changes how sites without an address are shared.
• Holiday and special hours are also listed among the regular opening hours with their dates (validFrom / validThrough), the form Google documents for seasonal hours and closures. They still appear as special opening hours as before.

1.0.19 2026-10-13

Added

• Hours have their own page, Dirigible → Hours, with time pickers. Sites keep their current hours with nothing to do; the Customizer's Hours section now links there.
• Several sets of hours per day, for lunch breaks, and a Closes after midnight option for late closes.
• Holiday and special hours: pick a date or a run of dates, then Closed or different times. They replace the weekly hours on those dates in Hours Today and Next Opening, appear under the footer lists from 30 days before, and are sent to search engines as special opening hours. Cached pages switch to them, and back, on the right day.

Changed

• Hours are checked before saving: a closing time must come after its opening time (unless it closes after midnight), hours on the same day can't overlap, and a day needs both times or neither. If anything is wrong, nothing is saved and the page links to each field to fix.
• Next Opening looks up to 60 days ahead, so it still finds the next open day after a long closure (“Open Jan 5”).

1.0.18 2026-10-01

Changed

• Update checks use the Dirigible theme's license handling, so a plugin with no license key no longer sends an empty one.

Fixed

• The footer Hours title no longer counts as a page heading, so screen-reader heading order stays correct. It looks the same.

1.0.17 2026-09-30

Security

• Updates come only from Dirigible: WordPress no longer matches this plugin to a WordPress.org listing with the same name.

Changed

• The installable zip is smaller: build sources, source maps, right-to-left stylesheets and Markdown are no longer shipped. Nothing sites load changed.

Fixed

• A visitor who lands while the plugin is being updated sees "This site is updating, refresh in a minute" instead of a critical error, and error replies never include server file paths.
• The Customizer can't crash when the Dirigible theme is missing or older.

1.0.16 2026-09-28

Fixed

• Hours Today and Next Opening now use the site's timezone (Settings → General) instead of UTC. On US sites, "today" used to switch to tomorrow in the evening.
• On cached pages, those lines now correct themselves to the visitor's current day before the page shows. Before, they kept the day the page was cached, for up to 30 days.

1.0.15 2026-09-22

Added

• Accessible alt text on showcase screenshots in screenshots.json for Dirigible Support docs (screen readers; pipeline falls back to caption when needed).

1.0.14 2026-09-21

Changed

• Add and recapture Hours Customizer Settings screenshots at 2× (retina), including weekly open/close fields, with gloss screenshot paths aligned to capture filenames.
