PlexBlocks – Business Hours for Block Editor

Welcome to PlexBlocks – Business Hours for Block Editor!

We created this plugin because we were tired of seeing boring, broken, and outdated opening hours on WordPress websites. Your business hours are often the very first thing your visitors search for. When someone is hungry, has a dental emergency, or wants to visit your shop, they need to know right now: Are you open? When do you close? What are your holiday hours?

PlexBlocks gives you the cleanest, most designer-friendly business hours block for the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg). With 10 handcrafted templates, live dynamic open/closed status badges, split-shift multi-time support, an interactive ticking analog clock, holiday overrides, and built-in Schema.org LocalBusiness LD+JSON markup, your business will look stunning and rank higher on Google Local search.

We are proud to share that PlexBlocks – Business Hours for Block Editor is featured in the WordPress featured plugins section! This recognition motivates our team at ConicPlex to keep delivering high-performance, bloat-free tools for website owners, agencies, and freelancers around the world.

How PlexBlocks Supercharges Your Local SEO with Schema.org LD+JSON

If you run a local business, ranking in Google Local Search and Google Maps is essential for attracting nearby customers. Search engines do not want to guess when you are open; they look for structured Schema.org data in your page source.

PlexBlocks includes an intelligent, built-in Schema.org LocalBusiness generator:

• Automatic LD+JSON Generation: Simply flip the “Enable Schema Markup” toggle in the sidebar. The plugin automatically generates clean, search-engine-ready JSON-LD structured data and places it right in the page <head>.
• Full Multi-Slot Support: If your restaurant or clinic opens 11:00 to 15:00 and reopens 18:00 to 23:00, PlexBlocks generates separate, valid OpeningHoursSpecification objects for both periods so Google indexes both shifts accurately.
• Holiday and Closure Awareness: Reflects closed days and seasonal schedules accurately according to the official Schema.org standards.
• No Duplicate Tag Errors: Unlike other plugins that output invalid nested script tags or duplicate schema blocks across widgets, PlexBlocks ensures exactly one clean, fully compliant LD+JSON block per business entity.
• Validated for Google Rich Results: Tested thoroughly against Google’s official Rich Results Test tool to guarantee error-free indexing.
