The Directorist Business Hour is a premium extension for the Directorist WordPress plugin. It is designed to add scheduling functionality to directory listings, allowing business owners to display their availability and helping users filter results based on what is “Open Now.“

“Open Now” & “Closed Now” Badges: Real-time status indicators appear on listing cards and single pages. These badges are fully customizable in terms of text and colors.
Overnight Shift Support: Allows businesses to set hours that cross over midnight (e.g., 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM). The system intelligently saves these under the starting day while displaying the correct closing time.
Multiple Time Slots: Supports split shifts, such as a restaurant open from 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM and again from 6:00 PM – 11:00 PM.
Timezone Management: You can set a global default timezone or allow businesses to display hours based on their local time, ensuring accuracy for international directories.
Search Integration: Adds an “Open Now” filter to the search form, allowing users to hide businesses that are currently closed.
24/7 Mode: A simple toggle for businesses that never close (e.g., emergency services or online platforms).
Placement: You can display business hours as a section on the single listing page, within a sidebar widget, or via shortcodes.
Countdown Timers: For businesses currently closed, the plugin can display a “Opens in [Time]” message to keep users informed.
Styling: Includes a built-in settings panel to adjust the typography, badge background colors, and header titles (e.g., changing “Business Hours” to “Consultation Times”).
