Perguntas frequentes
-
Does this work with page caching?
-
Yes — Global Time Ghost was built specifically for cached sites. Times are rendered on the server in UTC, then localised in the visitor’s browser via a tiny JavaScript snippet (~4 KB) and a cookie. WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, Cloudflare, SiteGround, Kinsta — all work flawlessly.
-
Does it handle daylight saving time?
-
Yes. The browser reports the IANA timezone (e.g.
Europe/Amsterdam) and PHP’sDateTimeZonehandles the DST math automatically. -
Will visitors see the wrong time on the first page load?
-
No. The first render uses UTC; once the timezone cookie is set the displayed time updates instantly. Most users never notice — and the badge degrades gracefully even with JavaScript disabled.
-
How do I display only the time, not the date?
-
Use the
formatattribute:[gtg_time date="2025-08-20 14:00:00" format="g:i A"] -
Does it support The Events Calendar / WooCommerce / LearnDash?
-
Auto-conversion of plugin-managed dates (Events Calendar, WooCommerce, LearnDash, EDD) is a Pro feature. The free plugin works on any date you pass to the shortcode or block.
-
Where is my data stored?
-
Locally — only the visitor’s selected timezone is stored, and only in a first-party cookie (
gtg_user_tz). Conversion counts are stored as anonymous totals in the WordPress options table. Nothing is sent to PluginJoy. -
How do I remove the badge styling?
-
Add
style="plain"to the shortcode:[gtg_time date="2025-08-20 14:00:00" style="plain"]
