Getting started
Enter the weekly hours
- In the WordPress admin, go to Appearance β Customize
- Open Dirigible Open Hours β Hours
- For each open day, fill Open and Close in military time (
9:00,17:30,20:30) - Leave both fields blank on a closed day
- Publish the Customizer changes
A day only counts as open when both times are filled. βTodayβ follows the timezone under Settings β General.
Show them on the site
Still under Dirigible Open Hours, open Settings:
- Footer Display β a list in the theme footer (Every Day or Open Days)
- Nav Display β a short line at the end of the header menu (Hours Today or Next Opening)
- Utility Nav Display β the same short line in the utility bar, plus Inline Hours
All three default to None. You can turn on more than one.
Utility Nav Display only appears if Utility Nav β Enable is on under Appearance β Customize β Header & Menus.
What visitors see
- Every Day β all seven days, starting on Week Starts On. Closed days read βClosed Mondayβ.
- Open Days β only the days you filled in, in the same order.
- Hours Today β βOpen Today:β and todayβs times. If you are closed, the utility bar (and footer, if you used this layout there) reads βClosed Todayβ. The header menu shows nothing on a closed day.
- Next Opening β todayβs hours when you are open. If you are closed, it looks ahead for the next open day (βOpen Tomorrowβ or βOpen Thursdayβ).
- Inline Hours β abbreviated days in one line (
Mon: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm | Tue: β¦). Closed days are skipped.
The footer list heading is Hours Headline (default Hours). It uses the Headline Style from Appearance β Customize β Footer & Contact.
Tips
- Footer hours only print on the theme footer. A freeform footer from Dirigible Footer does not include this list.
- Days you fill in are also added to the siteβs LocalBusiness structured data for search engines.
- Week Starts On only changes the order of list layouts. It does not change which day is βtodayβ.
