How to Add the Business Hours to WordPress
Method 1: Inline Widget
This option is perfect if you want to display your business hours right inside your content – for example, on your “Contact Us” or “About” section. It looks neat and blends naturally with the rest of your page.
- Pick a template: Open the Elfsight editor and select a layout you like.
- Customize the widget: Set your schedule and adjust the design to match your website.
- Generate the installation code: Once you’re happy with your widget, click “Add to website for free.” The platform will automatically generate an HTML snippet for you to use.
- Embed it on your website: Open your WordPress dashboard, go to the page or post where you want your schedule displayed, switch to the HTML or “Code” view, and paste the snippet exactly where you’d like the widget to appear.
Method 2: Floating Widget
Choose this method if you want your business hours to always stay visible – for example, as a small icon or floating panel that visitors can open from any page.
- Select a template: In the editor, pick the option that fits you best.
- Personalize the widget: Add your schedule, define the placement, and adjust colors.
- Copy your custom code: Once everything looks right, click “Add to website for free” and copy the code Elfsight provides.
- Insert the code in WordPress: In your WordPress admin panel, go to “Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS/HTML,” scroll down, and paste the snippet before the closing
</body>tag. Save your changes to make the widget live across your entire website.
