Question

I’m looking for something to disable a link at 8am every first Wednesday of every month. Whether this can be done in jquery or something else. I’m a beginner at jquery so all details are helpful. Thank you

*Edit: Also to have it re-enabled the following Friday.

HERE IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH, WITH EVERYONES HELP:

<!-- determines first Wednesday and first Thursday of the month to echo something different than the rest of the days of the month. --> 
<?php
$firstwed = strtotime("first Wednesday, first Thursday". date("F Y"));
$now = strtotime('today'); 

if( $firstwed == $now) {
  echo "Registration is closed until Friday. Today is Wednesday or Thursday.";
  // do something
} else {
  echo "Click Here to register.Today is NOT Wednesday or Thursday;
  // do something else
}
?>

Answer 1

IMO you would be better off doing this in the backed

Use this to check if today is the first wednesday of the current month

$firstwed = strtotime("first Wednesday ". date("F Y"));
$now = strtotime('today'); 

if( $firstwed == $now) {
  echo "today is the first wednesday for the month";
  // do something
} else {
  echo "today is not the first wednesday of the month";
  // do something else
}
