Use this one, it’ll save you time in the long run
by Aleks Siroki·1 year ago·1 reply

Easy to use and most importantly it really works! I’ve tried all of them. The rest either freeze because of caching plugin incompatibility, either they force me to use Gutenberg for god knows what reasons, or the UI is so generic and ugly – it just displays hours in <ul><li> I mean come’n guys – horrible. But this one is different – it’s dynamic, stylish, intuitive – just add your time, vacation, company days, specify the style – you’re done. Great UX, easy, fast, reliable. Great job. Love it!

Great Plugin and Great Support
by philippknoth0202·3 years ago

I’m really happy with the Plugin from WombatStudios. As I started to create a new Website for our Costumer, we decide to build up a page where you can see all Opening Times from Stores inside the building.

Why I choose Business Hour Indicator?

The best feature is that you can set unlimited Opening Times for each Store and not only one.

You can Design it with CSS and when you don’t know how? The Support replies fast and helps.
