Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Simple Text Only Countdown

When you're done installing the plugin, just put a [cntdwn todate="9 January 2019 08:00" timeoff="0"] shortcode into your content. Make sure to change the todate parameter to your target date, and timeoff to the GMT offset (in hours) of the time indicated in the todate.
The complete parameters that you may use in the shortcode, and their default values, are: todate -> target date to where we're counting down to; timeoff -> GMT offset time. Default is 0 or UTC; sep -> the separator to use in between days, hours, etc. Default is ', '. Feel free to change it to <br /> or otherwise. showhours -> Show number of hours remaining? Default is 1 for true. The todate may be too far in the future that render hours irrelevant. showmins -> Show number of minutes remaining? Default is 1 for true. See showhours above. showsecs -> Show number of seconds remaining? Default is 0 for false. Seconds may only be relevant for countdowns with live timers. pretext -> The text before the countdown text. Default is 'The event starts in '; posttext -> The text following the countdown text. Default is '.';
Anything that can be parsed by the strtotime php function can be used in the todate parameter. But in order to avoid confusion, it's better to stick with the format as the sample above.
The do_shortcode() can do that for you.
No. But this article can show you how to use a shortcode in the sidebar widget.
If the target date hasn't come yet, you might see a working demo of the plugin at ChessHive.
