The Countdown Timer is a WordPress plugin that makes it simple to add a countdown timer to your pages or posts.
<h3>How to use the plugin</h3>
The FlipDown plugin makes use of a WordPress shortcode. Simply add the shortcode within your WordPress page or post using the following syntax:
[flipdown date=”2023-11-27T00:00:00-0500″]
You can also change the theme from dark (default) to light:
[flipdown date=”2023-11-27T00:00:00-0500″ theme=”light”]
The data should be in the format of a JavaScript ISO date with the offset for your location. The above example creates a countdown timer for Cyber Monday on November 27, 2023.
It’s worth mentioning that the date should includes zeros for months less than 10 and times less than 10.
For example, August 7th would be written as 2023-08-07.

WP Flipclock is a plugin that allows you to quickly and easily add a flipclock to your site’s posts and pages via a shortcode.
The plugin allows you to count down or up from a specific date, as well as choose whether you count down days, hours or minutes.
To use the plugin in your site, all you need to add to the page is the <code>[flipclock]</code> shortcode. There are various attributes you can add as well:-
<ul>
<li>name – Give the flipclock a name. Default is “flipclock”. If you have more than one flipclock on any page it’s useful to give them unique names.</li>
<li>countdown (True/False) – Allows you to count down to a date (true), or count up from a date (false). Default is false.</li>
<li>date – Any date string, formatted how you like, which the clock will count up from/down to. Default is none.</li>
<li>
face (days/hours/minutes) – The face of the clock. Default is hours. Options are:-
<ul>
<li>days – Days : Hours : Minutes : Seconds</li>
<li>hours – Hours : Minutes : seconds</li>
<li>minutes – Minutes : Seconds</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
lang – Changes the language of the labels (days,hours,minutes,seconds). Supported languages: English, Russian, Spanish, French, German.
</li>
<li>timezone – Sets timezone for date. Now it shows the correct time before the event. The time zones have unique names in the form “Area/Location”, e.g. “America/New_York”.</li>
<li>seconds – Hides|shows seconds in face-mode “days”.
<ul>
<li>1 – shows seconds</li>
<li>0 – hide seconds</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>hidelabel – Adds the ability to hide the labels.</li>
