<p>Displays a countdown until the event begins. Specify an event duration time and it will display a different message while the event is happening. After the event is over, the countdown will begin again.</p>
<p>Uses string-to-time (strtotime) formats which can be very simple or very complex.</p>
<p>The widget has many CSS classes to style it with, but it’s been left purposely unstyled so you can format it in whatever way you want. The included recurring-timer-widget.css and recurring-timer-widget.css-example files show how you can move the time and labels around for a custom look. You can customize recurring-timer-widget.css by copying it to your active theme’s folder.</p>
<p>Known issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>It requires a browser refresh before the “next next” event. i.e. If you’re viewing the widget and the timer is set for a daily event, the timer will countdown to today’s event, then countdown to tomorrow’s event. But it will not countdown to the day after tomorrow’s event unless the browser is refreshed.</li>
<li>Events that occur more than once in a 24-hour period have not been tested and may not work.</li>
</ul>
