Overview

The WP Date and Time Shortcode plugin is a feature-rich tool designed for WordPress websites, allowing users to display various date and time formats through an array of shortcodes. This versatile plugin enables the display of the current, past, and future dates and times, whether it’s by year, month, day, hour, or even Unix timestamp. Users can customize the format using PHP date and time formatting characters or rely on default WordPress settings. Additionally, the plugin includes options for showing specific details like the day of the year, time zone, weekdays, and more. Upcoming Pro features promise enhanced support through email and chat, JavaScript display on cached pages, special date attributes (such as holidays and important dates), as well as advanced customization with styles and timezone modifications. This plugin caters to both basic and advanced needs, making it a comprehensive solution for displaying date and time information on WordPress sites.
