The timings are displayed along-side adhan timings which can be adjusted from the plugin's settings if necessary. Also provides a shortcode for displaying the monthly iqamah timings table. The daily timings widgets are easily customizable with different colors, and can even be used with different languages. Features:

To be able to show timings, you must have signed up your mosque at MasjidNow.com. ATTENTION: You must clear the cache after updating the masjid's salah timings. You can do this by going the MasjidNow Settings page and clicking "Clear Cache".

Daily Timings Shortcode A shortcode is a small piece of code that you can copy and paste on one of your WordPress pages; The shortcode will output something when it is viewed by a visitor to your website. MasjidNow has shortcodes for both daily and monthly timings. When you put one of our shortcodes on your WordPress site, it will output our timings. To show the daily timings table anywhere on your site:

1. Place the shortcode [masjidnow_daily masjid_id=XXXX], replacing XXXX with your mosque's MasjidNow.com id. This can be found at the end of the MasjidNow.com url for your mosque. For example, https://www.masjidnow.com/masjids/5312 has a masjid_id of 5312. Simple!

You can customize the daily shortcode by adding more parameters. For example, to set the background color of the table, you can write: [masjidnow_daily masjid_id=XXXX bg_color=#FF0000] Or to show the monthly information at the bottom of the table: [masjidnow_daily masjid_id=XXXX show_monthly_info=true] Accepted Parameters for Daily Timings: All parameters are optional

• masjid_id - (integer) This is the masjid id that can be found from the MasjidNow.com masjid page url
• show_adhan - (true or false) Whether to show the adhan timings from MasjidNow.com
• show_monthly_info - (true or false) Whether to show the additional monthly info at the bottom of the table (ex. Jummah/Friday Prayer times)
• show_name - (true or false) Whether to show the name of the mosque at the bottom of the table
• bg_color - (color code like #FFFF00) What color to make the background of the table. Leave blank to make the background transparent.
• primary_color - (color code like #FFFF00) What color to make the text.
• secondary_color - (color code like #FFFF00) What color to make the alternating rows of the table.
• extra_info - (text) Any text that you would like to display under the timings. This should be surrounded by quotes. Accepts basic HTML.

Monthly Timings Table Shortcode A shortcode is a small piece of code that you can copy and paste on one of your WordPress pages; The shortcode will output something when it is viewed by a visitor to your website. MasjidNow has shortcodes for both daily and monthly timings. When you put one of our shortcodes on your WordPress site, it will output our timings. To show the monthly timings table anywhere on your site:

1. First, choose either masjidnow_monthly_combined, masjidnow_monthly_adhan, or masjidnow_monthly. masjidnow_monthly_combined will display both adhan and iqamah timings in one table, masjidnow_monthly_adhan will show only adhan timings, and masjidnow_monthly will show just iqamah timings.
2. Place the shortcode [masjidnow_monthly masjid_id=XXXX], replacing XXXX with your mosque's MasjidNow.com id. This can be found at the end of the MasjidNow.com url for your mosque. For example, https://www.masjidnow.com/masjids/0-demo-masjid has a masjid_id of 0. Simple!

You can customize the monthly shortcodes by adding more parameters. For example, to set the title of the Monthly Timings (next to the month and year), you can write [masjidnow_monthly masjid_id=XXXX title="Our Azan Timings"] Accepted Parameters for Monthly Timings Table:

• masjid_id - (integer) This is the masjid id that can be found from the MasjidNow.com masjid page url
• title - (text) The text that displays at the top of the timings table next to the month and year. Should be surrounded by quotes.

Using the Widget in a Different Language The default language for the widgets and shortcodes is English. However, you can change how the plugin displays the names of the prayers and the titles for "Adhan" and "Iqamah" by going to the MasjidNow Settings page, under Settings in your WordPress Installation. For example, if you would prefer 'Isha' be spelled 'Ichaa', then you can change this on the MasjidNow Settings page.
