What’s new in Directorist - Business Hour 3.8
Version 3.8 · Jun 29, 2026

- NewCompatibility with Directorist v8.8
What it does
Directory visitors often want one thing before anything else: is this place open right now? Without clear hours on a listing, people have to call, email or guess. This add-on gives each Directorist listing a place to store regular opening and closing times, along with separate hours for holidays, special events or unexpected closures. That keeps the information on the listing current when a schedule changes for a day or a season.
Because it works inside Directorist, the Directorist plugin needs to be active on your site. Hours appear directly within listings, and you can pick from different layouts and styles so the display matches your site design. The output is responsive, so it reads well on desktop and mobile. Timezone support helps directories that cover more than one region, and the plugin includes business hour schema markup for search engines.
Best for
- Local business directories built with Directorist
- Restaurant, shop or service listing sites
