            Developed by Amin Raoufi.<\/p>\n\n\n

            From the WordPress plugin directory (recommended)<\/em><\/p>\n\n

              \n
            1. Go to Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong><\/li>\n
            2. Search for \u201cAdmin Toolbar Live Clock\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n
            3. Click Install Now<\/strong>, then Activate<\/strong><\/li>\n
            4. Open Settings \u2192 Toolbar Clock<\/strong> and configure the plugin<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

              Manual upload<\/em><\/p>\n\n

                \n
              1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code><\/li>\n
              2. Activate it via Plugins \u2192 Installed Plugins<\/strong><\/li>\n
              3. Open Settings \u2192 Toolbar Clock<\/strong>, adjust options, then click Save Changes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                \n

                Will front-end visitors see the clock?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                No. The clock is for wp-admin only.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                Where is the settings page?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                Go to Settings \u2192 Toolbar Clock<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                How do I enable Analog mode?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                Open Settings \u2192 Toolbar Clock \u2192 Style<\/strong> and switch Display mode<\/strong> to Analog<\/strong>.
                \nAnalog mode uses the floating clock automatically.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                How do I move the floating clock?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                Enable Drag & remember position<\/strong>, then drag the floating clock to your preferred spot.
                \nPosition is saved per browser (via local storage), so each device\/browser can have its own placement.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                I dragged it off-screen \u2014 how do I reset the position?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                Disable dragging and re-enable it, or clear the browser\u2019s site storage for wp-admin.<\/p><\/dd>\n

                Can I translate the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

                Yes. The plugin is fully translatable via PO\/MO files (text-domain: admin-toolbar-live-clock<\/code>).
                \nYou can also choose the plugin language directly from the settings screen.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
