## Descripción

Control the periodical visibility of each widget based on weekdays within a yearly
time period easily.

The plugin is available in English, Spanish (Español) and German (Deutsch). It does
not collect any personal data, so it is ready for EU General Data Protection Regulation(
GDPR) compliance.

#### Demo

You want to test Periodical Widget Visibility before installing on your site? Try
it out on [WordPress playground](https://playground.wordpress.net/?theme=twentytwentyone&plugin=periodical-widget-visibility&plugin=classic-widgets&url=/wp-admin/widgets.php).

#### Compatibility with WordPress 5.8 block based widgets

With WordPress 5.8 the block based widgets were introduced. The technique behind
these new widget concept is more complex. One of the changes is, the widgets are
now using API call to display.
 Extensive programming is required to prepare Periodical
Widget Visibility for this new feature. Nothing I could do in the short time I was
able to test this feature. Even so, Periodical Widget Visibility works with WordPress
5.8 and higher. The only adjustment you need to make is to turn off the block-based
widgets for a while. As known from the Gutenberg block editor, there is also a plug-
in to deactivate the block-based widgets.

Please download, install and activate [Classic Widgets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-widgets/)
from wordpress.org and switch back to the usual widget area.

I’m working hard to make Periodical Widget Visibility compatible with the block 
based widgets. Both take some time to provide a stable and error-free code base.

Stay tuned for a brand-new version. And thank you for your understanding.

#### Show and hide widgets at desired days within a yearly time period repeatedly

Do you want to show a widget every year on Christmas days, Eastern, or hide it on
your summer holidays? This plugin enables you to control the visibility of a widget
from your desired start day till the desired end day in the year and on the selected
weekdays.

#### Much more options available

If you want to schedule the visibility based on the daytime of each weekday and 
more precisely defined repetitions [go to the Pro version of the plugin](https://www.kybernetik-services.com/shop/wordpress/plugin/periodical-widget-visibility-pro/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=periodical-widget-visibility&utm_content=update-notice-readme).

#### Compatibility with Jetpack

This plugin works perfectly with Jetpack’s «Widget Visibility» module. Both plugins
enhance each other to give you great control about when and where to display which
widget on your website.

#### Idiomas

The user interface is available in

 * English
 * Spanish (Español)
 * German (Deutsch)

#### More options with the Pro version

If you are looking for finer filters of the timed visibility take a look at the 
Pro version of this plugin. That version comes with all options of this plugin and
contains additional options:

 * **Visibility based on the time on each weekday**: You can fine tune the daily
   visibility based on the time of the weekday, from a start time to an end time
   in the day.
 * **Visibility based on days in months**: You can control the visibility of the
   widget based on every day of a month, from 1 to 31, and every month of a year.
   Since the months can have 28, 29, 30 or 31 days but you want to use the last 
   day of any month there is an extra option ‘last day‘ which picks the last day
   of a month regardless of the length of a month.
 * **Visibility based on weekdays in months**: The option ‘Weekdays of month‘ enables
   you to select every ordinal number, every day of a week, from Monday to Sunday,
   and every month of a year to control the visibility of the widget. If you want
   to pick the last weekday in every month take the option ‘last‘.
 * Premium Support – Pro users get premium support whilst free support is offered
   in the WordPress forums in our spare time

## FAQ

### How to use?

 1. Go to the Widget page in the WordPress backend. Every widget is enhanced by easy-
    to-use fields for time data.
 2. Set comfortably the date and time definitions when to show or hide the widget.
 3. After you have defined the time data just save the widget settings. Done!

### Is there an option page?

No. That is not necessary. You set the visibility in each widget on the Widgets 
page in the backend.

### Do the scheduler settings effect cached pages?

No. This plugin has no site effects to cache plugins. So it can happen that a cached
page shows a widget although the scheduler settings says to hide it, and vice versa.

It is up to your cache settings how the visibility of a widget is considered. Maybe
it is helpful to empty the cache automatically once a day.

### Does removing the plugin delete the settings in the database?

Up to now: no. But you can remove the settings in the database easily with two possibilities:

 * Either deactivate (uncheck) the visibility time scheduler in each widget and 
   save the widget settings.
 * Or remove the widget out of the widget area.

### Does the plugin work with Jetpack’s Widget Visibility module?

Yes. Both plugins work together perfectly and enhance each other to give you great
control about when and where to display which widget.

### Where is the *.pot file for translating the plugin in any language?

The plugin is ready for right-to-left languages like Arabic or Hebrew.

Periodical Widget Visibility is available in multiple languages maintained by the
amazing WordPress community.
