Description:

Business Hours is an extension for the Directorist WordPress directory plugin. It lets you show the working hours of businesses listed in your directory, so visitors know when a business is open and when it is closed. The extension displays the duration within a 24 hour day during which customers can receive a service, meaning it defines the opening and ending hours of a business's official time. Businesses such as restaurants, doctor appointments, salon bookings, real estate, and law firms are named as prime users of this feature.

The extension offers flexible customization. You can show or hide business hours on any listing, and you can set the business hour for each day separately. If a business is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, that can be shown as well. Hours can be displayed on a listing page, in a sidebar widget, or in both places. An Open Now badge appears on a listing when a visitor views it during business hours, for example between 9 am and 5 pm, and a Closed Now badge appears during off hours. Both badge texts can be customized.

The timezone is customizable, so time can be shown according to where the business operates, and the widget title can be set to Office Hours, Working Hours, or any preferred text. The extension is 100% responsive and updated regularly. Listing owners can submit free and paid listings when they find the option to show their availability online, which helps them appear more professional and earn more revenue.

The vendor’s own page for Directorist – Business Hour has the full details.
