I need some help on writing the appropriate JavaScript and on where to place

  • 0

I need some help on writing the appropriate JavaScript and on where to place it. What I want to do is pretty simple…

I want to hide a div when the page is first loaded and then have it display permanently after a set interval (let’s call it 10 minutes). I’ve looked all over and from what I can tell, I need to use the setInterval or setTimeout function.

Two problems…

  • I don’t know JavaScript, so I’m just trying to hack this together
  • I’m using WordPress and I have no idea where the script would need to be placed for this to work.

Any ideas?
