Ideal for event listings such as movie showtimes, class schedules, workshops, conferences, livestreams, and similar use cases. It requires no global configuration: install the plugin and start using the block directly in FSE workflows. This plugin is designed for full site editing workflows where content creators need: * A single event container that can hold any core block (text, media, embeds, columns, groups, etc.). * Automatic status handling based on current server time: * Scheduled * Active * Ended * Optional automatic hiding of ended events (`Hide when ended`). * Child blocks that can be used only inside the Timed Event parent: * Event Date * Event Time * Event Countdown * Dynamic frontend updates for status/time/countdown without page refresh. * Native Gutenberg style controls (spacing, color, typography, border, dimensions) on parent and child blocks. How it works: 1. Add a **Timed Event** block. 2. Set start date/time and duration. 3. Insert any content you want. 4. Optionally insert child blocks: * **Event Date** for date display with site/custom format. * **Event Time** for scheduled time and active/ended label transitions. * **Event Countdown** for countdown to start/end and status transitions. 5. Publish. Frontend output is resolved server- side, and dynamic text updates via lightweight view scripts. ### Blocks #### Timed Event Parent container block that controls event lifecycle and visibility. Features: * Start date and time. * Duration in minutes. * Hide when ended toggle.* Full inner content flexibility. #### Event Date Child block (ancestor-restricted to Timed Event) that reads parent context and renders formatted date.

Features: * Site/custom time format. * Editable active/ended labels. * Editable active/ended colors. * Dynamic frontend state update. #### Event Countdown Child block that reads parent context and renders: * Countdown to start or countdown to end. * Active/ended label after countdown completion.

No. These child blocks are restricted to Timed Event context by design. ### Can I place media and embeds inside Timed Event? Yes. The parent block supports flexible inner content and is not limited to a narrow block whitelist. ### Which timezone is used for state and rendering? WordPress site timezone (`Settings > General`) is used on server-side rendering. ### Why does an ended event disappear? If `Hide when ended` is enabled on the parent block, ended events are not rendered on frontend. ### Does status update without refreshing the page? Yes for dynamic child outputs (Event Time and Event Countdown), via lightweight frontend scripts. ### Does this plugin support multilingual labels? Yes. Labels are user-editable, and static UI strings are prepared with WordPress i18n functions. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Timed Event Block” is open source software.
