This plugin is ideal for: * Mosques and Islamic centers * Community Masjids * Any WordPress website that wants to display prayer times More features will be added in future updates. ### Five Prayer Introduction Video [Watch the introduction video](https://youtu.be/c7MVPIepyVI) ### Shortcodes Use the following shortcodes to display prayer times on your website: * `[Fp_TimeTable_Monthly]` Displays a monthly prayer timetable with the print option outside the table. (This is now the default behavior) * `[Fp_TimeTable_Monthly printer_option="outside"]` Displays a monthly prayer timetable with the print option outside the table. (This is now the default behavior) * `[Fp_TimeTable_Monthly printer_option="inside"]` Displays a monthly prayer timetable with the print option inside the table. * `[Fp_Vertical_Daily_Prayer]` Displays today’s prayer timetable in a vertical format. For additional shortcodes, visit the **Docs** section in the Five Prayer UI. ### Deprecated Some legacy shortcodes are now deprecated (but still functional). Example: – Deprecated:`[ Fp_Single_Fajr_Begins]` – New: `[Fp_Single_Fajr_Begins_time]` For a complete list of New Shortcodes, please visit the **Docs** section. ### After Activation 1. You should see **Five Prayer** in your WordPress admin sidebar. 2. Configuration is complete! ### Performance & Caching (Version 2.2.2 Enhancements) **Version 2.2.2** includes significant enhancements to the plugin’s existing caching system for optimal performance. ### 🚀 Enhanced Caching Architecture The improved multi-layer system in **Five Prayer 2.2.2** includes: * **Optimized In-Memory Caching**: Reduces redundant database calls. * **Enhanced Fragment Caching**: For shortcodes and blocks. * **Robust Object Caching**: Leverages WordPress transients with external cache support. ### 🔧 Object Cache Compatibility The caching system is fully compatible with external object caching: * **Redis**&** Memcached**: For persistent and distributed caching. * **APCu**: For opcode caching.*** How it works**: Prayer data cached via WordPress transients automatically utilizes external object caches (like Redis) if available on your server. ### 📊 Performance Improvements **Enhancements in Version 2.2.2 deliver:** * Further reduction in database queries for prayer data. * Faster page load times for content with prayer shortcodes. * Better scalability for high-traffic websites. ### 🎯 Cache Durations * **Monthly Timetable**: 30-minute cache (`[Fp_TimeTable_Monthly]`) * **Daily Prayer Times**: 10-minute cache (`[Fp_Vertical_Daily_Prayer]`) * **Single Prayer Blocks**: 10-minute cache * **Settings Data**: 1-day cache * **Next Prayer**: 1-minute cache (for real-time accuracy) ### 💡 Cache Management for Administrators * **Automatic Clearing**: The cache is automatically invalidated when you update plugin settings (location, methods, etc.). * **Manual Refresh**: To immediately refresh all prayer data, use the **“Generate Calendar”** button in the **Prayer Settings**. This rebuilds the data and clears related caches. * **Admin Context**: Caching is bypassed in the WordPress admin area for accurate previews. ### Features * Full-year prayer timetable * Print a specific month’s timetable * Customizable timetable styles * Add custom text and a logo when printing * Add a custom location * Hijri Calendar with multiple customization options * Adjust the start date of Ramadan * Custom Translation system * Additional features such as **Iqama delay (in minutes)** and more * Table Display Options: New settings to control which columns appear in prayer timetable displays.

Skip Iqamah & Midnight Columns: When enabled, the Iqamah and Midnight columns will be hidden from monthly prayer tables, providing a cleaner view for users who don’t need these specific prayer times. This setting can be found in More Settings Display Settings. * Fixed: Timezone Handling – Calendar generation now uses the timezone set in WordPress General Settings. Previously, it was using the local timezone of your computer. Now, it generates using the timezone you have configured in WordPress. For example, if your computer is in New York but you have chosen London in your WordPress General Settings, the calendar will generate in London time. * Fixed: Current Time Display – When a visitor views the website, they now see the current time based on the WordPress-configured timezone. Previously, it was showing the visitor’s local computer time. For example, if a visitor is in New York and the site’s WordPress timezone is set to London, they will see the current time for London, not New York. #### 2.1.1 * Compatible with WordPress 6.9 * Fixed: TimeTable One of The Columns not Translated * Fixed: Layout of the TimeTable in The PrinterPage * Improved: UI For Texts in the Admin #### 2.1.0 * Added new prayer names shortcodes and more * Introduced Gutenberg blocks (including Container Prayer) * Implemented Custom Translation system * Improved shortcode consistency * Removed: Clean Transients Sub Menu to simplify plugin codebase and improve performance. * Added: Settings Sub Menu page in the admin menu First tab Manage translations, import/export custom translations, and reset behavior. #### 2.0.1 * Compatible with WordPress 6.8.1 * Added Facebook Community Group Link #### 2.0.0 * Major Update – Breaking Change release of Version 2.0.0 * Initial release of Version 2.0.0 ## Meta * Version **2.3.0** * Last updated **2 months ago** * Active installations **10+** * WordPress version ** 6.7 or higher ** * Tested up to **6.9.4** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fiveprayer/) * Tags * [islamic](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/islamic/)[Muslim](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/muslim/) [prayer](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/prayer/)[Quran](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/quran/) [salat](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/salat/) * [Advanced View](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/fiveprayer/advanced/) ## Ratings 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 1 5-star review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/fiveprayer/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/fiveprayer/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/fiveprayer/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/fiveprayer/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/fiveprayer/reviews/?filter=1) [Add my review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/fiveprayer/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/fiveprayer/reviews/) ## Contributors * [ AhsanulBarakah ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jamaaldev/) ## Support Got something to say?
