Nice plug-in!Any chance you can add some functionality?
I'd like it to do a countdown to a regularly repeating event. For example, I want it to count down to Thursday 7:30pm every week. It's a half hour event. Then it resets and begins the count down again.Cheers, Jason
@jasonjordan This plugin is developed as simple as possible by using shortcode in the post/page. i believe your feature is a special case. So i think i cannot add it to this plugin. To facilitate your need, i can make another plugin which have advance option behind it.
Hi Ivan
I'm interested in adding a timer to my site but I need to use the date in the following format, 2012-07-28 00:00:00 and grab that from a custom field.
Are you able to advise how to use your plugin with php rather than shortcodes?
Thanks!
Is it possible to have more than one countdown on a page? If so how?
It seems to me that you'd need to change this code:
$output = <<<end <div id="CountdownWrapper"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> var endDay = new Date(); endDay = new Date($year, $month – 1, $day, $hour, $minutes, $seconds); jQuery(document).ready(function() { jQuery('#CountdownWrapper').countdown({until: endDay}); }); </script> end;
Since there is only one "ContdownWrapper" element in the current implementation. Any advice?
@jjacobo Yes is possiblie to have more thanb one countdown. and indeed you need to change those codes. to use class instead of id.
Thanks for sharing this useful plugins. I should use it in my website.
Welllll, I can't seem to find the plug-ins from my Admin page. Is this something that is available for the FREE WordPress users? I would really like to put a countdown on a new page I'm adding but can't do it until I find the plug-ins. Also, IF I can use this, can the date be entered as 06-20-2015 or does the year HAVE to be first? I hate it when the year is first – that is just weird to me. Will use it the other way, IF I can, if that's the only option but thought I would ask anyway.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Is it possible to know how i can show the counter also on the category page for every post?
What should be the php function?
Hi Benjamin,
I only create the countdown as a shortcode. if you want to put it for every post, you can use add_filter to your content and add the countdown there.
Please, excuse me if i bother you, can you make me an example more clear?
It doesn’t seem to let me center it on the page, and it certainly doesn’t look like the one you show above. Can you help?
I am also trying to center on page, just can’t get it to work, can you please help. Thanks
It depends on the themes you are using.
you may need to find a css guy to center it.
Would like to include in the header. I can’t use shortcode. How would I insert the code in normal form and not shortcode?
You can call the function directly
Hi, bro. My client buy this plugin, but he want I make some changes and now I have questions:
– It is posible to remove days and hours (only mins and seconds be there)?
– is it posible to say not date to counter, but time, I mean coundown 5 minutes, for the example
Hello there. First i never sell this plugin and it is GPL license. Wondering where your client bought this plugin?
You can remove days and hours by modified using css. And for the second question, it is not possible.
Hi Ivan!
I’ve installed your plugin on my website, but each time I go to modify the settings and click save changes I get an error 404 message and the timer does not reflect the updated changes.
Can you please let me know what I might be doing wrong?
Thank you!!
Crystal
