    \n
  1. Upload the scheduled-block<\/code> folder to your \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
  3. Add a \"Scheduled Block\" to any post\/page<\/li>\n
  4. Set your start\/end times in the block settings<\/li>\n
  5. Add content inside the block<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    How does timezone handling work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    All times are converted to UTC for comparison, using your WordPress general settings timezone for input conversion.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Why isn't my block appearing\/disappearing immediately?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Ensure your hosting doesn't have server-level caching. The plugin includes caching prevention headers for WordPress-level caching.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I use multiple scheduled blocks on one page?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes! Each block operates independently with its own schedule.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What date format is used?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    The plugin uses ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS) internally while displaying times in your local WordPress timezone.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
