How to Insert a Countdown Timer




WordPress Tip of the Day » Podcast Feed show

Summary: The WordPress Countdown Plugin allows you to insert a timer that counts down to a specific date &amp; time and automatically redirects the browser to a new URL when the countdown reaches zero. This type of countdown is perfect for WordPress sales pages and limited time offer pages where you only want the URL to be available for a specific amount of time. The countdown timer is based on Universal Time, and you’ll need to insert the following shortcode in the WordPress page where you want the countdown to appear, changing the date and the “window.location” URL (redirect location) to suit your needs: [countdown date="12:00:00 06/07/2010"] <strong>This offer ends soon!</strong> <h2>[counter]</h2> [after] [/countdown]
