03 / Website use cases
Where to use acf daily time window
Shops, kitchens, phone lines and help desks store their daily hours in ACF, but visitors want to know at a glance whether they are open right now, and a status worked out on the server goes stale on cached pages. ACF daily time window reads the opening and closing Time Picker fields on the current post, shows Open now, Closing soon or Closed now with when that changes and the daily hours, and keeps it current in the visitor’s browser in the site’s time zone.
Phone and chat lines
Tell visitors whether someone is there to answer.
Kitchens and late venues
Show hours that run past midnight.

07 / Requirements and compatibility
ACF daily time window compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor and ACF with two Time Picker fields.
- One daily window in the site’s time zone; it does not handle weekly schedules, holidays or bookings.
- Reads the times saved on the published post being viewed.
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot acf daily time window
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why does the status not match my clock?
The times are in the site’s time zone, set in Settings › General. Visitors in another zone see a note saying so.
Why does nothing show?
One of the fields has no time saved on this post, or both times are the same. Add text for that case to show a message instead.
Does it show different hours on different days?
No. It shows one daily window. Use separate fields and widgets for days with other hours.
ACF daily time window plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro or ACF Pro?
No. It works with the free versions of Elementor and ACF.
Does it stay right on cached pages?
Yes. The page carries the times, and the visitor’s browser works out the status and updates it every minute.
Can the hours run past midnight?
Yes. A closing time before the opening time, such as 10:00 pm to 2:00 am, runs into the next day.
Which time zone is used?
The site’s time zone from Settings › General, for every visitor.
Can I change the words?
Yes. Set your own open, closed and closing-soon text and text before or after it.
