Display content conditionally based on a schedule. Choose from three scheduling modes: Date Range – Show content between specific start and end dates Recurring – Show content on specific days of the week during a time window Custom – Use PHP strtotime expressions for flexible scheduling Gutenberg Block The Display During block provides a visual editor with: Sidebar controls for all three scheduling modes Date/time pickers for start and end dates Day-of-week checkboxes for recurring schedules Live status indicator (active/inactive) Optional fallback message when content is hidden Copy as Shortcode toolbar button Shortcodes The [display_during] shortcode works in the Classic Editor and anywhere shortcodes are supported.

Add a Table of Contents block to your posts and pages. The TOC is a nested list of links to all heading found in the post or page. To use it, simply add a block and search for “SimpleTOC” or just “TOC”. The maximum depth of the toc can be configured in in the blocks’ sidebar among many other options. There can hide the headline “Table of Contents” and add your own by using a normal heading block. Spin up a new WordPress instance with the SimpleTOC plugin already installed.
