      Yakov,
      what do you mean Shabbat time is way off? Can I take a look on your site?

      You also should go to Settings -> Zmanim Widget and set all options correctly.

      Luach seems to be working now. Candle lighting says 7:19 pm. It should be 8:09 pm. How do I fix this?

          Karen,
          date is taken from Server’s date and time. So, you should verify what data/time is set on server.

          I want to display a week’s zmanim. I can see that the current plugin displays the current day’s zmanim. I need a way to display the whole week’s zmanim like Monday ( List of Monday zmanim) Tuesday (Tuesday Zmanim) up to Sunday. Can i do that? Please advise. Thanks

            Hello,
            no, in current release it is impossible. But I plan to do such feature in future releases.
