Hide and Show WP Forms
by cecnaadmin·4 years ago
Perfect! We have a form for the new guests that allows us to make a donation to a charity of their choice. We can’t have people using this form all week long. This is great, turns on when we offer, turns off after the event. Yes!! We put the WPforms shortcode between the Time restrict.

Thank you for this powerful and easy to use plugin. It does exactly what I need. I am using it for educational purposes. Specifically, we want to make some information available at exactly 30 minutes before an exam starts. With your plugin, we are able to set everything up in advance and not worry about it.
I hope that you continue to develop and support it! Thanks so much.
Great help
