/ what it does

A clean, drop-in display of store hours, holiday overrides, and open/closed status. Pro adds order cutoff enforcement so your delivery store stops accepting orders 30 minutes before close — even though the door's still open.

/ who it's for

If any of these sound like you

Restaurants & cafés

Make hours visible everywhere on your site. Stop the "are you open right now?" phone calls.

Delivery shops & dispensaries

Use Pro's cutoff enforcement to stop accepting orders before close, so your kitchen can actually finish them.

Local retail

A sticky bar shows real-time open/closed status. No more confused customers showing up Monday at 7am.

Service businesses

Set weekly hours, configure holiday overrides, and let visitors see your status from any page.

Common questions

Does this require WooCommerce? +
No. BigBad Store Hours runs on any WordPress site. WooCommerce integration is optional and only affects cart/checkout notices when active.
What time format should I use for hours? +
Both work: - **24-hour:** `10:00-21:00` or `09:30-17:15` - **12-hour:** `10am-9pm` or `9:30am-5:15pm` Use `start-end` and separate multiple ranges with commas: `09:00-12:00, 13:00-17:00`.
Can I disable the floating bar and just use shortcodes? +
Yes. Disable the bar in **Settings → Display** and place shortcodes wherever you want.
How do holiday overrides work? +
In **Settings → Holidays**, enter a date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format and either mark it closed or set custom hours. Holiday overrides take precedence over the weekly schedule for that date.
What's the difference between the free and pro versions? +
The free version shows your hours and tells customers if you're open. The pro version adds **order cutoff enforcement** — so your delivery shop stops accepting orders 30 minutes before close, even though the door is technically still open. If you're running a kitchen, dispensary, or anything where the staff needs prep/wrap-up time after orders stop, that's what you want.
Can I show different hours on different pages? +
The free version uses one global schedule. The pro version supports per-page overrides via shortcode parameters.
Does the countdown count to my close time or my cutoff time? +
**Free:** counts to your close time. **Pro:** counts to your cutoff time (so customers know how long they actually have to place an order).
Will it slow down my site? +
No. The plugin renders on the server, caches the current state, and only re-evaluates when a minute crosses a schedule boundary. There's no JS framework, no API calls, no tracking.
Does it work with caching plugins? +
Yes — the bar uses a small JS heartbeat to keep the displayed state accurate even when the page is served from cache.
Can I translate it? +
Yes. The plugin is translation-ready and uses standard WordPress i18n functions. PRs welcome on the WordPress.org forum.
Where do I get support? +
For free version users: the WordPress.org plugin support forum. For pro users: email **support@bigbad.agency** with your license key.
