As of Bricks 1.7, the built-in “Weekday” condition does not work correctly.
This is most likely due to it not taking the site’s timezone (set in WordPress settings) into account.
To work around this, let’s define a custom function and use it with the Dynamic data condition.
Add the following in child theme‘s functions.php (w/o the opening PHP tag) or a code snippets plugin:
// Function to check if today is the specified (three letter format) weekday.
// Sample usage: bl_is_weekday( 'Thu' )
function bl_is_weekday( $weekday ) {
$today = wp_date( 'D' );
return $today === $weekday;
}and whitelist it.
Ex.:
<?php
add_filter( 'bricks/code/echo_function_names', function() {
return [
'bl_is_weekday'
];
} );You should also add any other functions (native or custom) being used in your Bricks instance in addition to bl_is_weekday. This can be checked at Bricks → Settings → Custom code by clicking the Code review button.
More info on whitelisting can be found here.
and apply it like this:
{echo:bl_is_weekday(Thu)}
Replace Thu with the three-letter week you want to check against.
To output the element when it is NOT the specified weekday, check against 0 instead of 1.
Alternatively, you could simply do:
{echo:wp_date(D)}
to render the element on the specified weekday.
This way, you don’t have to register a custom function.
