<p><strong>Stop manually updating countdown timers!</strong> Next Event Countdown automatically cycles through your events and always displays the one coming up next. Set it once, and it runs forever.</p>
<p>Whether you run a gym, a church, a school, a co-working space, a community center, or a weekly meetup — if you have events that repeat, this plugin keeps your visitors informed without any manual work.</p>
<h4>Real-World Examples</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Fitness studios</strong> — show the next class: yoga at 6 AM <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> spinning at noon <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> HIIT at 5 PM.</li>
<li><strong>Churches</strong> — Sunday service ends <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> midweek Bible study <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Friday youth group <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> back to Sunday.</li>
<li><strong>Schools & universities</strong> — next open day, parent-teacher conference, or semester start.</li>
<li><strong>Restaurants & bars</strong> — happy hour countdown, trivia night, live music events.</li>
<li><strong>Co-working spaces</strong> — networking events, workshops, community lunches.</li>
<li><strong>Online communities</strong> — weekly webinars, AMAs, or live streams.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why Next Event Countdown?</h4>
<p>Most countdown plugins make you pick a single date. When the event passes, the timer hits zero and stays there. Next Event Countdown is different — it knows your full schedule and always counts down to whatever’s next.</p>
<p>No manual updates. No expired timers. Just a clean, live countdown that’s always right.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Recurring Events</strong> – Define one-time or weekly recurring events. The widget always shows the nearest one.</li>
<li><strong>Live Ticking</strong> – Real-time countdown updates every second.</li>
<li><strong>Fully Customizable</strong> – Colors, labels, fonts, and icons — all configurable from the admin panel.</li>
<li><strong>Responsive</strong> – Looks great on desktop, tablet, and mobile.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong> – No bloat, no external dependencies. A single optimized bundle that won’t slow your site down.</li>
<li><strong>Shortcode Embed</strong> – Drop <code>[nxevtcd_countdown name="my-counter"]</code> anywhere.</li>
</ul>

Recurring PayPal Donations

Paypal changes something in how they process form submissions about two months ago.  I was working on a similar plugin called Custom Donations.  I was experiencing a problem where Paypal would say that the link was bad.  I was looking to see how this plugin handled that problem and found that it was also broken.

Broken after Paypal Changes

Accept PayPal subscription or recurring donation payment from your WordPress site easily.
