Yes — Global Time Ghost was built specifically for cached sites. Times are rendered on the server in UTC, then localised in the visitor’s browser via a tiny JavaScript snippet (~4 KB) and a cookie. WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, Cloudflare, SiteGround, Kinsta— all work flawlessly. ### Does it handle daylight saving time? Yes. The browser reports the IANA timezone (e.g. `Europe/Amsterdam`) and PHP’s ` DateTimeZone` handles the DST math automatically. ### Will visitors see the wrong time on the first page load? No. The first render uses UTC; once the timezone cookie is set the displayed time updates instantly. Most users never notice — and the badge degrades gracefully even with JavaScript disabled. ### How do I display only the time, not the date? Use the `format` attribute: `[gtg_time date="2025-08-20 14:00:00" format="g:i A"]` ### Does it support The Events Calendar / WooCommerce / LearnDash? Auto-conversion of plugin-managed dates (Events Calendar, WooCommerce, LearnDash, EDD) is a Pro feature. The free plugin works on any date you pass to the shortcode or block. ### Where is my data stored? Locally — only the visitor’s selected timezone is stored, and only in a first-party cookie (`gtg_user_tz`). Conversion counts are stored as anonymous totals in the WordPress options table. Nothing is sent to PluginJoy. ### How do I remove the badge styling? Add `style="plain"` to the shortcode: `[gtg_time date="2025-08-20 14:00:00" style ="plain"]` ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Global Time Ghost – Local Time Converter” is open source software.
