This section defines how the system determines and displays whether a business is currently Open or closed based on the real-time clock.
Options:
Check Current Time: Enable this to display live status (e.g., “Open” or “Closed”) based on the current time.
Status Opening / Status Closed: Customize the labels shown for open and closed states.
Min Time / Max Time: These are fallback or filter values used during search. Only listings within this time range will be considered open during time-based searches.

Migration Guide: Version 2 → Latest
In the latest version of our theme/plugin, the schedule data is now stored in a new, dedicated database table instead of post meta. If you’re upgrading from version 2, you’ll need to migrate your existing data.
You must run the following WP-CLI command to migrate old location data:
wp listar-migrate schedule
What this command does:
It scans all posts with location metadata from version 2.
It transfers this data into the new wp_listar_open_hours for improved performance and flexibility.
How to Run the Command
Access your server via SSH.
Navigate to your WordPress installation directory. cd /var/www/html/
Run the migration command: wp listar-migrate schedule
