Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Jock On Air Now (JOAN)

Use the [joan-now] shortcode anywhere on your site, or add the JOAN widget to your sidebar. The display automatically updates and shows the currently scheduled content with smart image positioning.

[joan-now] - Displays currently scheduled show with jock info and smart image positioning [joan-schedule] - Shows complete weekly schedule in table format with clickable links [schedule-today] - Displays only today's schedule with current show highlighting titled "What's on today"

JOAN automatically positions images - **Centered below show details, above "Up Next"

JOAN includes intelligent dark mode support with multiple options: - Automatic Detection: Respects your visitors' system preferences (dark/light mode) - Manual Toggle: Visitors can manually switch between dark and light modes using the toggle button - Settings Storage: User preferences are remembered across sessions - Accessibility: Dark mode maintains full accessibility and contrast standards

Yes! In JOAN Settings > Display Options, you can: - Enable "Center Widget Title" to center all widget titles - Set a custom default title (e.g., "Live Now", "On Air", "Currently Playing") - Individual widgets can still override the title if needed

Partner advertisements help support JOAN plugin development and showcase useful services for radio stations. You can: - Enable/disable advertisements in JOAN > Advertisements - Advertisements are cached and lazy-loaded for optimal performance - All ads include fallback text if images fail to load - The advertisement system is completely separate from main plugin functionality

Yes! JOAN detects visitor timezones automatically and provides a dropdown for manual override. All times display in the visitor's preferred timezone.

No, JOAN's timezone setting is completely separate from WordPress's global timezone. JOAN stores its timezone as joan_timezone and only uses it for radio schedule displays and calculations. Your WordPress site's main timezone setting (found in Settings > General) remains unchanged and continues to control post timestamps, comments, and other WordPress core functions. You can safely set JOAN to use a different timezone than your WordPress site. My schedule from version 5.x isn't showing ** IMPORTANT**: Version 6.x (starting with 6.0.0) is a complete redesign. Schedules from versions 5.9.0 and below cannot be automatically imported. Please save your existing schedule information before upgrading, as you'll need to re‑enter your shows after updating.

In the admin schedule manager, simply enter a URL in the "Jock Link" field. This link will appear on the show name throughout all schedule displays and open in a new tab.

Schedule backup and export functionality is available exclusively in JOAN Premium. This professional feature allows you to export, backup, and transfer schedules between sites with ease.
