详情介绍:

Oversight Shabbat closes the public side of your site from candle-lighting until havdalah, and shows visitors a message page instead. It is built for Israeli sites and fully translatable, including right-to-left languages such as Hebrew.

Automatic times — Shabbat and Yom Tov times (Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Shmini Atzeret, Pesach, Shavuot) from Hebcal.com, using the Israeli holiday calendar. The lock starts at the earliest candle-lighting and ends at the latest havdalah among Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Be'er Sheva, Eilat and Tzfat, so it is safe for the whole country. Times are refreshed once a day.
Fixed hours — use a fixed weekly window instead of automatic times. These hours are also the fallback when no Hebcal data is available.
Manual locks — add extra date/time periods (holidays, events) and an instant "Lock now" switch.
Custom lock page — title, message (full editor), logo, colors, the time the site reopens and a live countdown.
WooCommerce orders blocked — during a lock no new order can be placed, not even from a cached checkout page, the block checkout or express-pay buttons. Payment confirmations for orders started before Shabbat still complete.
SEO-safe — visitors and search engines get HTTP 503 with a Retry-After header, which tells Google the downtime is temporary. robots.txt and sitemaps stay available.
Cache-aware — page caches are purged when a lock starts and ends, and a tiny script shows the lock page even if a cached copy was served.
Administrators keep seeing the site normally, with a red notice bar.
All times use Israel time, regardless of the WordPress timezone setting.

安装:

Install the plugin from Plugins → Add New, or upload the zip file, and activate it.
Go to Shabbat Mode in the admin menu, tick "Enable Shabbat mode on this site" and save.
In the "Lock page" tab, customize the message and click "View the lock page" to preview it.

升级注意事项:

1.2.0 Moves updates to WordPress.org and adds an English interface. The Hebrew translation now comes from translate.wordpress.org.

常见问题:

Will this hurt my SEO?

No. During a lock the site returns HTTP 503 (Service Unavailable) with a Retry-After header saying when it reopens. This is the method Google recommends for temporary closures: pages are not removed from the index and rankings are not affected. robots.txt and sitemaps keep working normally.

What keeps working during a lock?

The admin area, the login page, the REST API, AJAX, WP-Cron and WooCommerce / payment gateway webhooks — so payments and integrations do not break.

Can customers place orders during Shabbat?

Not by default: "Block orders during Shabbat and holidays" is on. Payment confirmations (webhooks) for orders started before Shabbat, orders created by an administrator, and the WooCommerce REST API (/wc/v3) are not blocked.

I use a caching plugin. Does it work?

Yes. The plugin purges the page cache when each lock starts and ends (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, SiteGround Optimizer, WP Fastest Cache, Breeze, Cache Enabler, Nginx Helper). In addition, a small script on every page checks the lock state and shows the lock page even if an old cached page was served. On fully cached sites we recommend a real server cron so the purge runs on time, for example */5 * * * * curl -s https://example.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron > /dev/null, together with define( 'DISABLE_WP_CRON', true ); in wp-config.php.

What about Cloudflare?

The Cloudflare cache is not purged automatically. If you cache HTML pages on Cloudflare (Cache Everything / APO), exclude the site or purge manually. Developers can hook their own purge into the oversight_shabbat_purge_cache action.

My host shows its own error page instead of the lock page

Some servers replace every 503 response with their own error page. Ask your host not to intercept 503 responses from the site.

Is the plugin available in Hebrew?

Yes. The Hebrew (he_IL) translation is delivered through translate.wordpress.org; on a Hebrew site the admin screens and the lock page are shown in Hebrew, right-to-left.
