Time and Date Shortcodes

FAQ

How to use the plugin?

Insert shortcode where you want to show them.

Can I use it in the block editor (Gutenberd)?

Yes, you can insert shortcodes anywhere.

Why is the shortcode result not updated for every single visit?

Caching plugin!

If you are using a caching plugin you may need to exclude the page or post with the shortcode from it so the content may be generated dynamically.

Do shortcodes work in all places e.g. post title, footer, menus, etc.?

No, by default WordPress allows shortcodes to be used only in the post’s content and widgets. If your theme does not apply shortcodes in other places automatically you may need to add additional code to your child theme’s functions.php to hook into those functions where you need to see the shortcodes applied.

For example:

// Add Shortcodes to title.
add_filter(‘wp_title’, ‘do_shortcode’, 10);
add_filter(‘the_title’, ‘do_shortcode’, 10);



// Add shortcodes to the menu
add_filter(‘walker_nav_menu_start_el’, ‘do_shortcode’, 10);

Another option to allow use of shortcodes anywhere on the website it to use an additional plugin such as Shortcodes Anywhere.
