## Description
THIS PLUGIN IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED.
For a version that works with current WordPress installations, please see [Zmanim WP](https://wordpress.org/plugins/zmanim-wp/#description)
or some other plugin.
### LEGACY INFORMATION
Displays Shabbat information for the coming week. Display is highly customizable,
with options to display or hide:
* Hebrew date
* Candle lighting time
* Parsha HaShavuah/weekly Torah reading
* Sunrise and/or sunset
* Havdalah time
* Earliest time for Plag haMincha
* Latest time to say morning Shema
Within those options, there are choices to show English or Hebrew, Ashkenazi or
Sephardi transliterations, and multiple options for calculating times (GR»A, M»A,
etc)
This plugin makes two JSON calls to hebcal.com (one to get the Hebrew date and one
for the weekly Torah reading). More information on how this feature works can be
found here:
[http://www.hebcal.com/home/219/hebrew-date-converter-rest-api](http://www.hebcal.com/home/219/hebrew-date-converter-rest-api)…
and here… [http://www.hebcal.com/home/195/jewish-calendar-rest-api](http://www.hebcal.com/home/195/jewish-calendar-rest-api)
This plugin also makes three JSON calls to GeoNames.org API to get the sunrise/sunset
times for Friday and Saturday, and to obtain the latitude/longitude for the provided
zip code. More information can be found here:
[http://www.geonames.org/export/web-services.html/](http://www.geonames.org/export/web-services.html/)
For Daily Zmanim display, please see this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/daily-zman-widget/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/daily-zman-widget)
### LEGACY INFORMATION
1. Download a copy of the zip file to your computer
2. Extract the files.
3. FTP to your webserver
4. Create a directory inside /wp-content/plugins named «shabbatzmanim»
5. Upload `zmanfriday.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/shabbatzmanim` directory
6. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress
7. Use Appareance -> Widgets to place this information on your page (does not currently
support shortcodes or php inserts)
**Formatting**
Several CSS style codes are included:
* #frizman: a DIV tag that wraps all the widget content
* #zmanbigtitle: a SPAN tag for the title of the widget
* #zmantitle: a SPAN tag for each of the titles within the widget.
Thus, you could format the text by adding the following to your style sheet:
```
#frizman { font-size: 12px; }
#zmanbigtitle {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: underline;
}
#zmantitle { font-weight: bold; }LEGACY INFORMATION
= Something isn't working. Any way I can see what might be going wrong? =
```
Check the «debug» option at the bottom of the widget to get some of the initial
calculations that are coming in. Otherwise, contact the developer. I hear he’s a
great guy.
#### I put in my zipcode but I’m not getting the right location.
Get the latitude/longitude for your location and use that instead.
#### I put in the latitude/longitude but it’s showing the completely wrong city
The chances are when you googled «latitude longitude for xxxx» it gave you two regular
numbers. What you need to pay attention to is the North/South and East/West items.
If the number is South or West, then you need to make the number negative. Example:
San Francisco is 37.7833 N, 122.4167 W. But if you leave the longitude as 122.4167
you’ll get Weihai, China.

[VadimGut](https://profiles.wordpress.org/vadimgut/) 3. September 2016
Of course thank you for the plugin i would suggest though using language files,
updating to support for the latest wordpress Also maybe save the results in a db
so that you would not need to save do the call to get the zmanim every time somebody
opens a page
