Business Places – Opening Hours Table & Local Business Schema

Show your business hours as a weekly opening hours table: time slots as rows, Monday to Sunday as columns, and a mark in every cell where you are open. Add the table with a block, a widget or a shortcode, and output LocalBusiness structured data (JSON-LD) with openingHoursSpecification for search engines. Formerly known as "Taro Open Hour". Who is it for?

• Clinics, dental offices, osteopaths and pharmacies that publish consultation hours.
• Beauty salons, hair salons and spas.
• Shops, cafés and restaurants with one or several branches.
• Directory sites (e.g. a database of gyms) where every post is a place with its own hours.

It fits the Japanese-style consultation hours table (診療時間表), e.g. "9:00–12:00 / 14:00–18:00" rows with ○ for open and × or ／ for closed. Features

• Opening hours table – Add any number of time slots (e.g. 9:00–12:00 and 14:00–18:00) and tick the weekdays each slot is open.
• Selectable marks – Choose the open mark (✓ ○ ● ◎ ✔) and the closed mark (- × ✕ or blank), or enter custom text, at Settings > Business Places.
• Holiday notes – Add a note such as "Closed on Sundays and public holidays" below the table.
• Blocks – "Open Hour" and "Business Place" blocks for the block editor.
• Widgets and shortcodes – [open-hour] and [business-place], also usable in block themes.
• Business places – Address, access information, phone, email and URL, with a Google Maps embed.
• Local Business schema – JSON-LD with a selectable schema.org type (MedicalClinic, Dentist, BeautySalon, Restaurant, Store, etc.), address and opening hours.
• Multiple places – Use the built-in place post type or any post type you choose; mark one place as the site's main location.

Case Study Case 1 If your site is for your bookstore, add your store's location as a business place. The location and opening hours are available via widgets. Case 2 If your site is a database of bouldering gyms, choose a post type to be treated as a location. Each single page will have its own place and opening hour information. How to display Blocks In the block editor, you can use "Open Hour" and "Business Place" blocks. Choose a place in the block settings. If empty, the current post or the site location is used. Widgets You can use widgets for opening hours and business locations. Shortcodes You can use the shortcode [open-hour] for the time table. If you are a theme developer, just use the tsoh_the_timetable() function. For business places, you can use [business-place post_id='10']. The attribute post_id can be omitted and its default value is the current post. Acknowledgements

2.3.0

• Add blocks: "Open Hour" (time table) and "Business Place" (location card). They also work in block themes without widget areas.
• Open/closed marks of the time table are now selectable in Settings > Business Places (✓ ○ ● ◎ ✔ / - ／ × ✕ or custom text), with screen reader text.
• Business type can be picked from common LocalBusiness subtypes (MedicalClinic, Dentist, BeautySalon...).
• Location widget can hide the map and access information. Widgets are renamed to "Business Places: ..." for clarity.
• Security: REST API endpoints now require the edit_posts capability and return only necessary fields.
• Bugfix: fatal error of tsoh_is_open(). tsoh_current_time_condition() is deprecated.
• Bugfix: theme override path template-part/tsoh/time-table.php was not detected.
• Bugfix: "No post type is specified" notice was shown even when business places were available.
• Bugfix: database table schema caused SQL errors on update. Tables are dropped when a site is deleted on multisite.
• Bugfix: PHP warning in JSON-LD when only the second address line was set.
• Bugfix: time table overflowed narrow content areas.
• $timestamp arguments of tsoh_get_timetable(), tsoh_is_open() and [open-hour] are now real Unix timestamps (wp_date() is used).
• JSON-LD uses https://schema.org.
• Requires WordPress 6.6 and PHP 7.4 or later. Tested with PHP 8.5.
