常见问题

How do the time settings work?

Time settings are defined once in the timetable container block and automatically inherited by all columns within it. This ensures consistency across your entire schedule.

Can I have different time ranges for different columns?

When columns are placed inside a timetable container, they inherit the parent’s time settings for consistency. For different time ranges, use separate timetable containers or standalone timetable columns.

Can I customize the visual appearance?

Yes! The plugin provides three hour height options (Small, Medium, Large) for visual scaling, and all blocks follow WordPress styling standards for theme compatibility.

Will this work with my theme?

The plugin is designed to work with any properly coded WordPress theme. It uses WordPress’s standard block wrapper and follows WordPress coding standards.

How are time slots positioned?

Time slots calculate their position automatically based on the timetable’s start time and the slot’s start time, creating precise visual alignment in your schedule.
