Wordpress shortcode or plugin for current time

[KeriMorgret]

In the footer of my WP site at http://www.strikemodels.com/, I have

"Questions? Call us at xxx-xxx-xxxx 10:00 am to 8:00 pm Pacific time or email [address]"

I've searched, but haven't easily found a shortcode where I can insert the current time for my time zone in this footer statement. Does anyone know if such a thing exists?

The Do Not Disturb function on the iPhone has been a big help, but we've still had calls at three in the morning from someone in Australia on New Year's Day who didn't know how to look up time differences online.

Hi Kerry,

I'm no expert at this solution, but I found this link which might help with your situation - http://botcrawl.com/display-date-and-time-on-wordpress-using-php-shortcodes/

They basically use php functions so that it shows your sites server actual time and date rather than the users.

BTW that person from Australia wasn't me

Hope this helps.

It wasn't me either.

$thetimeis = getdate(time()); $thehour = $thetimeis['hours']; $theminute = $thetimeis['minutes']; $thesecond = $thetimeis['seconds'];
        if($thehour > 12){ $thehour = $thehour - 12; $dn = "PM";
        }else{ $dn = "AM";
        }

echo "$thehour: $theminute:$thesecond$dn"; ?>

Thanks everyone! Will check these out when I get a chance, prepping for SMX West at the moment.
