Shabbos and Yom Tov

Can I use this plugin to close my entire site on Shobbos?

This plugin was not created for this intent but rather to close the checkout counter. WP-Shabbat was created for this.
However you can still do this using this plugin by editing your theme or by adding a function to your site’s plugin. Remember this plugin will on your time zone and location that you set not of the user of you site.

In both examples a cookie is set on weekdays so it will not have to check on every page if it is Shabbos or Yom Tov, only once in 10 minutes.

Note: If you have a commercial theme do not edit your theme files because it would be deleted when you update your theme, rather make a child theme or do this in a plugin).

In your theme, it should look something like this:

$atts = array ();

if (!$_COOKIE['weekday'] == 'true'){
    if (!$shabbosMessage = Shabbos_and_YomTov($atts, FALSE)){
        //Set a weekday cookie
        setcookie ('weekday', 'true', time() + 600, '/');
    }
}

if ($shabbosMessage){
    echo $shabbosMessage;
} else {

        the_post(); 
        // all post info ...
}

In a plugin:
Note: The following plugin will only hide the content of the post.

function check_if_shabbos($content){

    if ($_COOKIE['weekday'] == 'true'){
        return $content;
    }

    // Here you can set attributes if it is different then set at 'Settings>Shabbos and Yom Tov'.
    $atts = array ();


    if ($shabbosMessage = Shabbos_and_YomTov($atts, FALSE)){
        return $shabbosMessage;
    } else {

        //Set a weekday cookie
        setcookie ('weekday', 'true', time() + 600, '/');

        return $content;

    }
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'check_if_shabbos');
