A FEW QUICK ANSWERS
A few questions?
Here are a few answers to get started. Find more in the documentation.
All questions & answers →How do I add the calendar to my website?
Insert the calendar using its shortcode, or prepare an editable landing page made from standard WordPress blocks. Use it within an existing website or create a standalone Advent website.
Can I use existing posts?
Yes. Combine your own door content with existing posts and pages. See the documentation for differences in how access protection works.
Can I use the calendar again next year?
Yes. Prepare an independent yearly edition and switch to the new published edition when it is ready. The guide explains each step.
Does Türchenzeit automatically load external fonts or videos?
Optional fonts are supplied locally. YouTube players inside doors load only after a click; YouTube then receives connection data. See the documentation for limitations regarding other media and the block editor.
