Hey Yusuf! Sorry I just saw this now. Here is a sample of something that could work:
{% assign allowed_days = "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday"}
{% assign current_day = "now" | date: "%d" %}

{% else %}
{% abort_message("Sorry, its a weekend!") %}
{% endif %}Thanks, I managed to get this to work 🙂
