ITBoffins Live Opening Hours Banner & Table

ITBoffins Live Opening Hours Banner & Table helps small businesses show dynamic opening hours on a page, plus a friendly We’re open / Sorry, we’re closed notice bar.

The opening-hours table and live banner both work from the same schedule you save in WordPress. They update in the visitor’s browser, so customers see the right opening status even when your site is cached for speed.

Why you’ll like it

• One schedule, two customer views. Power a dynamic opening-hours table and live banner from the same WordPress settings.
• Dynamic opening-hours table. Show your regular week and upcoming changes on any page with a block or shortcode.
• Live open/closed banner. Tell customers if you are open, closed, opening soon, or closing soon.
• Flexible banner layout. Keep the notice sticky or let it scroll away, and choose whether a top notice makes room or sits over the page.
• Easy weekly hours. Set your regular week with simple time pickers, lunch breaks, and one-click weekday copying.
• Public special dates & one-off changes. Add bank holidays, Christmas closures, early finishes, special Saturdays, or appointment-only dates.
• UK bank-holiday helper. Add the standard England & Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland bank holidays as closed dates for the year.
• Upcoming changes. Tell customers about future closures or special hours before the day arrives.
• Separate bank-holiday notices. Show bank holidays only within 7 days, show all future bank holidays, or keep them out of upcoming notices while manual special dates stay visible.
• Cleaner notice layout. Multiple upcoming dates wrap as separate date/time items, with the date in bold and the hours in normal weight.
• Automatic cleanup. Expired special dates drop out after any overnight opening has finished.
• Special-dates-only mode. Turn your regular week off entirely for pop-ups, events, or by-appointment businesses.
• Works with fast/cached sites. The page hours and live banner stay fresh even when WordPress or your host caches the page.
• Uses your WordPress timezone. Handles daylight saving automatically.
• Overnight hours. Late-night venues are handled, such as 22:00-02:00.
• Genuinely free & self-hosted. No external API, no account, no tracking, and nothing sent off-site.

Privacy

ITBoffins Live Opening Hours Banner & Table stores the schedule and notice-bar settings in your WordPress database. It includes the saved hours, dates, labels, and public notes in public page data so each visitor’s browser can keep cached pages current. It does not connect to external services, set tracking cookies, or send visitor data off-site. Do not enter confidential information in a schedule note. If a customer closes the notice bar, that preference is remembered only in their browser.
