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.
