    I’m trying to add an option for service times. Business Hours doesn’t really work for us, because I just need to list start times (not end times) and we have multiple per day. I can’t seem to get any of the predefined fields to handle this, and I can’t figure out how to add a custom field that’s available from Places>Settings. Can you help me?

    Hi Megan,

    Thanks for your post. Have you tried using the “Time” custom field as explained here? https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/places/custom/

    Unfortunately yes. There may be something I’m missing, but I need to offer options for day (not date) and start time, with multiple times available per day. For instance, I’d like a user to be able to select “Thursdays: 6:00pm, 8:45pm” – specifying that there are two events occurring every Thursday, one at 6:00 and one at 8:45. It’s my understanding that the “Time” custom field can only select a time, and also only allows one time to be selected.

    The only field like that is the event field and it is for discrete events with dates, though one listing can have more than one discrete date.

    In GDV1 we recommended the use of a free text or text area field for times/timing.

    When you use Business Hours you can set open and close times, and can have multiple per day. Open from 10-12, 2-4, on Monday. Is that not what you are looking for?

    Oh I’m so sorry! I totally didn’t realize that you could select multiple times per day – this basically will solve my problem! I have a few follow-up questions:

    1. Is there a way to list Sunday as the first day of the week? My WordPress settings are already set to this, but the Business Hours dropdown still shows Monday first.

    2. Is there a way to only show days with open times? Most of our entries will only have a couple of days with services. I’d rather it just show the days with service times as opposed to listing 5 days of “closed”.

    I do not know if that is possible, but I will flag your question for the developers to let us know.

    1. Not at the moment, Monday is fixed.

    2. There is no option for this but the closed days do have individual classes so you could add the css

    .gd-bh-days-closed{
    display:none;
    }

    Thanks,
