* This plugin is awesome, but I believe I am missing something here on a yearly
schedule I am creating that changes the text each month.
* First it appears that I *must* use an ondate/offdate, if I leave those out, they
all show all the time. So by putting them in I was able to resolve however, August
and September still show together. Here is a snippet of what I have..
* ```
[time-restrict-repeat type="annually" onmonth="July" offmonth="August" ondate="01" offdate="31"]
July Hey! It is July
[/time-restrict-repeat]
[time-restrict-repeat type="annually" onmonth="August" offmonth="September" ondate="01" offdate="31"]
August: Hey! It is August
[/time-restrict-repeat]
[time-restrict-repeat type="annually" onmonth="September" offmonth="October" ondate="01" offdate="30"]
September: Hey! It is September
[/time-restrict-repeat]
[time-restrict-repeat type="annually" onmonth="October" offmonth="November" ondate="01" offdate="31"]
October: Hey! It is October
[/time-restrict-repeat]
```
* Is there something I am missing that is causing both August & Sept to show up
together?
* Thanks in advance!

* I believe I figured out my mistake (it was a foolish one) so then my question
would be, since I must include ondate/offdate, which of the two would you deem
the better practice assuming I want it to show for the entire month and switch
over at midnight between the last day of the month and the first day of the month?
* ```
[time-restrict-repeat type="annually" onmonth="July" offmonth="August" ondate="01" offdate="01"]
July Hey! It is July
[/time-restrict-repeat]
```
* OR
* ```
[time-restrict-repeat type="annually" onmonth="July" offmonth="July" ondate="01" offdate="31"]
July Hey! It is July
[/time-restrict-repeat]
```
* If this could be modified to leave out the ondate/offdate, we wouldn’t have to
worry about leap years ;p
* Thanks again.

* So I ran into another issue and this one seems to be a genuine bug and not a
logic issue. It appears that if an offmonth/offdate is applied to an annual repeating
schedule the startdate is offset by 1 day.
* For example, today is 9/2 and the following logic should show both items, however
only the first item shows.
* ```
[time-restrict-repeat type="annually" onmonth="August" offmonth="September" ondate="02" offdate="03"]
August 2 - September 3
[/time-restrict-repeat]
[time-restrict-repeat type="annually" onmonth="September" offmonth="October" ondate="02" offdate="03"]
September 2 - October 3
[/time-restrict-repeat]
```
* If I modify the second item by removing offmonth/offdate it works.
If I modify
the second item by changing the ondate to 01 it works.
* Is my expection that the following logic to have something different show up
for each month on an annual basis correct?
* ```
[time-restrict-repeat type="annually" onmonth="January" offmonth="February" ondate="01" offdate="01"]Shows On Jan 1 00:00:00 - Hides on Feb 1 00:00:00[/time-restrict-repeat]
[time-restrict-repeat type="annually" onmonth="February" offmonth="March" ondate="01" offdate="01"]Shows on Feb 1 00:00:00 - Hides on Mar 1 00:00:00[/time-restrict-repeat]
etc...
```

* The logic is correct. I’m betting it’s a timezone issue. P.S., if you want something
to show up for one full month, it should be more like:
* ```
[time-restrict-repeat type="annually" onmonth="July" offmonth="July" ondate="01" offdate="31"]
July Hey! It is July
[/time-restrict-repeat]
```
* where the onmonth and offmonth are the same, as this logic effectively says “
on from July 01 at 12AM to July 31 at 11:59:59PM”. For February, you could just:
* ```
[time-restrict-repeat type="annually" onmonth="February" offmonth="March" ondate="01" offdate="01" offtime="00:00:01"]
February Hey! It is February
[/time-restrict-repeat]
```
