The EthioTime plugin integrates the Ethiopian (GeÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’ez) calendar system into WordPress.
The Ethiopian calendar, known as the Amete Lidet, differs from the Gregorian calendar. Its day begins at sunrise (6:00 AM Gregorian), and it has 12 months of 30 days, plus a 13th month (Pagume) of five or six days. This plugin handles the conversion logic automatically.

- Shortcode Generator: Create and manage custom shortcodes in the admin area to display dates. For example:
[et-dt-shortcode slug="my-ethio-date"]. - Live Clock: Display a real-time updating Ethiopian clock on your siteÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s front end.
- Custom Templates: Design date and time outputs using tokens like

- Custom CSS: Add custom styles that only load when your shortcodes are present.
