    so i created a bunch of timed rules, an example is shown below. I have about 30 such rules, each revealing a link for a few days

    I put my content in the “….” (which is actually a hyper link)

    the content remains hidden until the prescribved day, but it remains visible even after the expiriration date. So it seem the start showing works, but the ending of the showing does not

    Show the content on January 3, 2019 @ 23:30 until January 5, 2019 @ 23:00. Repeat this action every day. This rule will be active until December 26th, 2019. All times are in the America/New_York timezone.

    [timed-content-rule id=”1376″]…[/timed-content-rule]

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Use the “Show Projected Dates/Times” to check which times are actually used.

    If you want to repeat a rule every day the rule itself must not be longer than 24 hours.

    A rule starting on January 3, 23:30 and ending on January 5, 23:00 will be 71,5 hours. Since this repeats every 24 hours, it will never end – because it will repeat on January 4 (one day later) and end on January 6. And the next day it will start on January 5 and end on January 7.

    Arno,
    Thanks for replying.
    I have a link that I want to be posted from January 10th through Jan 12 (example). I have the start time of jan 10th and end time of jan 12.

    Does the repeat have any effect if the start date AND time is specified?
    In the example I gave i have

    Starting date/time is January 3, 2019, time 23:30
    Ending date/time is January 5th, 2019, time 23:00

    repeating pattern
    frequency daily
    repeat how often? 1

    Thanks!

    thinking further about the rules…so if i want a rule to execute only one time (start time end time), what should i do? i have to enter repeat >=1, and i have have repeat interval day/week/month/year.

    I have tried to set the rule to repeat 1, every year an d have expiration in a few months..lets see what happens in next couple of days.

    If you want something only one time there is not need to have a rule at all – just put the desired date/time in the shortcode within your page/post.

    And you also don’t have to wait – just use the “Show Projected Dates/Times” button in the rule editor to check the dates/times when the rule will be active. And yes, setting repeat to “yearly” and and expiration date of only one month will cause the rule to be executed only once.
