Store Not Reopening Automatically After Scheduled Time?

The store remains closed even after the scheduled open time.

Common Reasons & Fixes:

Caching Conflict:

  • Page caching (via plugins or server-level caching) may prevent the updated state from displaying.
  • Solution: Clear all caches (page, object, CDN) or exclude pages like the shop and product pages from caching.

Timezone Mismatch:

  • Your store’s timezone may not match your server’s timezone.
  • Solution: Go to Settings > General > Timezone and ensure it matches your local time.

Cron Job Delays:

  • If the plugin uses WordPress scheduled tasks, a delay could occur.
  • Solution: Install a plugin like “WP Crontrol” to monitor and manage scheduled tasks.

Theme or Plugin Conflict:

  • Another plugin may interfere with WC Store Timer’s logic.
  • Solution: Deactivate other plugins temporarily to test, or switch to a default theme.
