So, you want to hide a widget, which contains your form, based on the time of day? That's much easier to accomplish: all you need in that case is the Widget Logic plugin:</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/</a></p> <p>Then in your widget settings there will be a box beneath the widget content which says "Widget logic" and a text box. In the text box, enter this conditional:</p> <pre><code>((date(&#39;G&#39;) &gt; 7 &amp;&amp; date(&#39;G&#39;) &lt; 22))</code></pre> <p>That's it. This will honor the timezone setting in your WordPress admin, unlike the previous code example which relied on server time.</p> <p>Let me know how that works out for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/schedules-for-a-form-to-only-be-available-on-certain-hours#post-31396 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 06:17:58 +0000 juanlublanco 31396@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>[this is a literal translation of google, sorry]</p> <p>I have not tried the options mentioned as these are options for the body of the post.<br /> Today I want to show or hide based on the time a widget located in the sidebar with a short form, perhaps there is a plugin to hide or show widgets based on the hour.</p> <p>I have taken so long to comment because the reports I have come in the mail. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/schedules-for-a-form-to-only-be-available-on-certain-hours#post-31199 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 12:04:41 +0000 Chris Hajer 31199@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Working on it some more: would it be acceptable to just hide the form with CSS (display:none;)? That will prevent normal, casual visitors from seeing it and being able to submit it. It would still be in the source of the page. If that's OK, I accomplished that with some CSS and a little bit of code added to functions.php.</p> <p>Here's the CSS to add to the bottom of your stylesheet. Be sure to change the form ID (mine is 7 here) to your form ID:</p> <pre><code>body.noshowform #gform_wrapper_7 { display:none; }</code></pre> <p>The bodyclass of <strong>noshowform</strong> will be added to your page, based on the time of day, by adding this to your theme's functions.php:</p> <pre><code>function noform_body_class($classes = &#39;&#39;) { $h = date(&#39;G&#39;); if ($h &gt; 7 &amp;&amp; $h &lt; 22) { $classes[] = &#39;showform&#39;; return $classes; } else { $classes[] = &#39;noshowform&#39;; return $classes; } } add_filter(&#39;body_class&#39;,&#39;noform_body_class&#39;);</code></pre> <p>There is a commented version at pastie.org as well.<br /> <a href="http://pastie.org/2290467" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/2290467</a></p> <p>That will add a body class of showform when the hours are greater than 7 and less than 22 (so, the hour must be a minimum of 8 and not greater than or equal to 22, which will show the form up until 21:59:59.9999999). The next line, <strong> $classes[] = 'showform';</strong> can be commented out once you've tested and verified that the body class is being added to your source properly based on the time of day on the server.</p> <p>If that condition is <strong>not</strong> met, a body class of "noshowform" is added to the page, and then the CSS takes over and hides the form with CSS.</p> <p>Let me know if you need help implementing that or are looking for a different type of solution. Thanks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/schedules-for-a-form-to-only-be-available-on-certain-hours#post-31194 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 10:33:37 +0000 Chris Hajer 31194@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This is not built in to Gravity Forms but you can wrap the form shortcode in a plugin or function that hides content based on the time of day.
