Hide and Show in one Shortcode

A shortcode will not work for that, you need to create a server side rule with the following data:

Start: 2023-03-13, 8:00 (that is a mondy)
End: 2023-03-17 18:00 (this is a friday)
Repeat: weekly

In the shortcode you will then use that rule.

Ok thank for the quick reply.

But just for my understanding… so i have make 2 rules one like above for showing my telnumer and a second rule for the weekend with showing my Text right? so i dont have to make a hide rule? i guess

Correct – a server side rule can either show or hide content.

If the rule is defined to show content, then the content will be hidden outside the defined time frame. If the rule should hide content, the content will be visible outside the timeframe.

Ok thanks a lot… worked perfect on pages and footer.

Only in my header it does not work. i read that wordpress does often not support shortcodes in the header… alotugh its just the top bar an i can use html so i tried to make the shortcode work in html on my top bar here https://lichtundton.at/

At the moment its filled with email and phone number with html… when i paste the shortcode it only shows the entire shortcode. i tried to add_filter in php for widget_text… that works on sidebars but no on the top bar… any ideas why?

Wether shortcodes work outside regular content also depends on the template as well. It’s the responsibility of the template to combine header, footer, widget area and main content area.

If the template is not using the WordPress backend API (in particular the function do_shortcode()) to process shortcodes in the header, then they will not work there. Since shortcodes are intended to be used in content and not in headers and widgets, it is very likely that this will not work with most of the existing templates.

PS: I believe the designer is very proud of the 3D effect with the partial background unblurring when moving the mouse on the start page of the website – but it’s horrible for performance. On my Dell Latitude 5430 laptop running at 4K with an external display the whole thing is really sluggish until you scroll down to hide the animation. Depending on what your audience is, you may think about changing this.
