Overview

The Timed Content plugin for WordPress enables users to control the visibility of specific portions of a Page or Post based on time parameters, making content appear or disappear at particular dates and times. It offers both client-side and server-side shortcodes for dynamic content management. A client-side shortcode marks content to become visible or vanish after a specified time interval, optionally with a fade effect. On the other hand, server-side shortcodes securely hide content until the specified time arrives. Enhancing user experience, the plugin includes a TinyMCE dialog to assist in building these shortcodes with ease. This functionality is ideal for creating time-sensitive announcements, scheduled content updates, or promotional material that aligns with specific dates and times. Moreover, the plugin accommodates debugging and rule-based shortcodes to manage content visibility in a flexible and secure manner.

Client-Side Shortcodes

  • Allows content to appear or disappear after a specified time interval.
  • Includes a fade effect for smooth transitions.
  • Ideal for special effects, though not secure for hiding content as it remains in the HTML source.

Server-Side Shortcodes

  • Content can be made visible only during specified date/time intervals.
  • Provides a secure method of hiding content as it is included in the Page/Post only during the specified intervals.
  • Supports debugging statements to help troubleshoot visibility issues.

TinyMCE Dialog Integration

  • Helps users easily build shortcodes without manual coding.
  • Ensures correctly formed shortcodes, reducing errors.
  • Improves user experience by simplifying the shortcode creation process.

Flexible Scheduling Options

  • Allows setting up a schedule for content visibility.
  • Supports both client-side and server-side scheduling.
  • Enables complex visibility rules using Timed Content Rules.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate this WordPress plugin for its specific functionality of managing timed content visibility, making it invaluable for sites requiring scheduled appearances or disappearances of content. It's praised for its ease of use, automatic scheduling, and support for Elementor. However, some users report drawbacks, including significant page load slowdowns and occasional issues with displaying hidden content correctly. Additionally, non-tech-savvy users find it complicated, and some documentation could be clearer. Despite these issues, it remains highly recommended for its reliability, customization options, and excellent support provided by the author, making it perfect for recurring content updates and event-based content management.

This plugin is just terrific! It does seem to be the only plugin available to manage content that can automatically appear or hide on any page and at a specific scheduled date / time.Thank you VERY much for keeping this plugin alive! It’s not necessarily something for every site but for those sites where such functionality is desired, this plugin is, from what I can tell, the only one in existence AND it works perfectly!
