Assistance Needed for Weekly Content Scheduling with Timed Content Plugin

May I did not understand correctly – but the number of weeks in a month is completely irrelevant if you want to have something “every Monday”. This is a weekly pattern like this:

Repeating pattern:

• Frequency: weekly
• Interval of recurrances: 1
• Days: Select “Monday” as the only day

Stopping condition:

• Keep repeating until a given date
• Date: 2999-01-01

Thank you for your previous response. I would like to clarify my request.

Objective:

• Display specific content every Monday.
• Each week should have unique content: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, and possibly Week 5.

Current Configuration:

• My current setup is based on the first four weeks of the month, which causes issues due to varying numbers of weeks per month.

Question:

• How can I configure the plugin so that different content is displayed every Monday of the month?

Example:

1. Week 1: Start 2024-01-01, end 2024-01-07, repeat every week.
2. Week 2: Start 2024-01-08, end 2024-01-14, repeat every week.
3. Week 3: Start 2024-01-15, end 2024-01-21, repeat every week.
4. Week 4: Start 2024-01-22, end 2024-01-28, repeat every week.
5. Week 5: Start 2024-01-29, end 2024-02-04, repeat every week.

This configuration ensures that the content is unique each week, regardless of the number of weeks in the month.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

could you please help me? I haven’t heard anything. besides, things are also going wrong now regarding the listings
https://prnt.sc/ZGwuJpRO7fma
it now shows 2 contents while i have not set it that way. and see my previous question above

Sorry, I can not help you with that. Please ask someone to develop a custom plugin for you which solves this.

Edit: there is also no “team” – it is just me, maintaining this plugin in my free time.

Thank you for your response, but I believe there may still be a misunderstanding regarding my issue. I’m experiencing a problem with a specific function within your plugin that should work but isn’t performing as expected.

The plugin itself provides the option to set different content for each Monday of the month, accounting for months with five Mondays. Here is how I configured it:

• Frequency: Monthly
• Weekday ordinal: (Week 1) first / (Week 2) second / (Week 3) third / (Week 4) fourth / (Week 5) last
• Day of the week: Monday

https://prnt.sc/BF7iounEOzh5

According to your documentation, this should work to display unique content each Monday, depending on which week it is. However, in practice, the plugin is showing two “Weekday ordinals” in the same week, which is not supposed to happen. This overlap seems to occur in months with a fifth Monday, leading to unexpected results.

To clarify further: my goal is for each week’s content (Week 1 through Week 4 or 5) to repeat each month in the same order. Currently, the plugin isn’t handling this correctly, as it sometimes shows overlapping content in months with five Mondays. I have configured the settings exactly as provided in the plugin, but the outcome does not align with the expected functionality.

If needed, you are welcome to log in to my website to check the settings directly. I would appreciate it if you could look into this issue to ensure that each Monday shows its designated content without any overlap.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Maybe I made myself not clear enough:

The plugin is for free. Use it or let it be. But since it is for free and I don’t get paid anything, it is just an offer. But this does not mean that I am obliged to fulfil anything at all.

I understand, that you need a solution for your commercial site to sell stuff since you also use WooCommerce. So if this free(!) plugin does not fulfil your expectations, you may have to hire someone to develop a custom solution for you.

Sorry – but as I already said: I can not help you with that. I also can not reproduce the problem. For me it works fine.

In addition: the plugin is open source too – so anyone can have a look at the code and fix errors, if there are one: https://github.com/arnowelzel/timed-content

Pull requests are welcome and credits will also added if anyone contributes code.

The issue is not as simple as it looks at a first glance.

The rule does not offer fifth for the ordinal but last – because it is exactly was it says! It is only the last occurance of day, regardless how often that day will repeat in the month.

So in November 2024, the date 2024-11-25 is correct for “last Monday of November” since this is the last Monday. Even when November has only 4 Mondays – it is still correct, since the ordinal is last and not fifth. And there may be people out there using exactly this meaning of the ordinal – so I can not just change this behaviour.

What you really want is a an additional ordinal “fifth” which will be used like this: use the fifth Monday and if the month does no have five Mondays, then skip to the next month until there is a month again with five Mondays.

But this is clearly a different behaviour. I may add this with a future update.

Thank you for finally understanding what I mean. I truly appreciate your attention to this issue, as I believe many websites would benefit from this feature. If months didn’t occasionally have five Mondays, this wouldn’t be a problem. Unfortunately, five-Monday months do exist, and that makes it challenging for sites that want to use specific content for each of those weeks.

I would be very grateful if you could address this in a future update. It would greatly enhance the plugin’s functionality for users who need this type of scheduling.

Thank you again for your time and consideration!
