Shortcode usage

Note! When using the WordPress Gutenberg editor, you must choose the ‘shortcode’ block!

The shortcode accepts the following parameters:
* days – the number of days to show tide data for (max 3, default 3)
* title – the title to show above the tide times (default ‘Tide times’)
* map – whether or not to show a map. (true or false, default true)
* location – the location slug to show times for (default ‘llandudno’, see the list of locations further down)

You can add content to the shortcode to display a description:

[tide_times days=1 map=true title="Tide times for Conwy" location="conwy"]These are today's tides for Conwy[/tide_times]

or without content:

[tide_times days=1 map=true title="Tide times for Conwy" location="conwy"]

Full list of locations can be found on our plugin page

Reviews

Excellently simple & effective

Really please with the simplicity of this plugin. Matches the theme perfectly and looks great on PC, phone & tablet. Looking forward to more from this developer.

Excellent Plugin

I have built several boat owners websites and use this plugin in them all. Members can display either 1, 2 or 3 days of tides on their home page, customised to display the tides at the port of their own selection. Members select the port they require from over 700 UK ports. I have configured the system such that users can configre the system so that their selected port is displayed each time they log in. For any one that needs to access or display tides on a regular basis then this plugin is definitely worth a try. You won’t be disappointed. I even use the plugin on my regular websites where users get access to the local weather and local tides. I only made one support enquiry and the response was excellent.

Clean, modern and easy to use.

The plugin is extremely well documented which makes set up hassle free. The results look funky fresh as they come pre-styled.
