Frequently asked questions
How do I display prayer times on my page?
You can use either the Gutenberg blocks (Daily Prayer Times, Monthly Prayer Times, Live Prayer Times) or shortcodes. The blocks provide a visual interface for customization, while shortcodes can be used in classic editor or text widgets.
Can I customize the calculation method?
Yes, you can select from multiple standard calculation methods in the plugin settings, including ISNA, MWL, Egyptian, Umm Al-Qura, and many others. This allows you to match the calculation method used by your local mosque or Islamic organization.
How can I adjust Hijri dates?
The plugin includes Hijri date conversion with an offset option. If the automatically calculated Hijri date doesn’t match your local moon sighting committee’s determination, you can adjust it by +/- 2 days in the settings.
Can I display multiple Jumuah prayer times?
Yes, the plugin supports up to three different Jumuah (Friday prayer) times, each with its own customizable label. This is perfect for mosques that offer multiple Khutbahs in different languages.
How do I update prayer times if they change?
You can export your existing prayer times, make changes in a spreadsheet application, and re-import them. Alternatively, you can regenerate prayer times with updated settings and import the new times. Saving settings or importing prayer times automatically uses a new object-cache version. If your site uses page caching, exclude pages containing prayer-time blocks or shortcodes and the plugin’s REST routes in the cache provider’s Never Cache/Exclude URL list.
Is the plugin mobile-friendly?
Yes, all prayer time displays are fully responsive and will adapt to different screen sizes, from desktop to mobile devices.
