ShulPress Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
ShulPress turns any WordPress site into a full-featured synagogue website, with no account or subscription required. It brings your congregation’s essentials right into WordPress:
- A single settings screen for your synagogue’s name, address, contact details, and website.
- Live zmanim (halachic times) and Shabbat information for the ZIP code you configure, retrieved from the Hebcal API.
- A Jewish calendar showing the current Hebrew date and the weekly Torah portion.
Everything is available as blocks, shortcodes, and widgets, so it works with both the block editor and classic themes.
Shortcodes
[shulpress_contact_info]— your configured synagogue contact information.[shulpress_zmanim]— today’s zmanim for the configured location. Optional attributes:title,show_date,show_location.- Jewish calendar shortcodes for the Hebrew date, weekly Torah portion, and Shabbat card.
You can see the full list, with attributes, under ShulPress Shortcode Reference in the admin.
ShulPress Pro
ShulPress Pro adds payments, membership, events, and a services calendar. Pro is a separate plugin and is not required to use anything described above. Learn more at https://shulpress.dev.
External services
This plugin connects to the Hebcal API (https://www.hebcal.com) to retrieve zmanim, Shabbat times, and Jewish calendar data for the location you configure. This is required for the zmanim, Shabbat, and calendar features to function.
When a page containing one of those features is rendered, the plugin sends the ZIP code, timezone, and relevant date to Hebcal. No personal visitor data is sent, and responses are cached. If you do not configure a ZIP code and timezone, no request is made.
