A simple and customizable WordPress countdown clock. Includes settings to sync your website’s time to your time zone, even if they are off by an odd number of minutes.

Before adding the shortcode, visit the Plugin Instructions page to sync the countdown clock with your local time or to correct any time discrepancies your server may have.

Add the following shortcode to your page:

[captain_countdown date=”2/13/2016″ time=”5:00 pm” title=”Countdown To My Special Day!” format=”usa”]

Most date and time formats will work:

Dates

• 2/13/2016
• February 13, 201
• 2016-02-13

Times

• 5:00 pm
• 17:00:30
• 17:30

Note: The “date” option is required and the “time” option is optional.

If you specify “usa” for the format, your date will look like this:

February 12, 2016

Leave the format attribute blank (or remove it completely) for the default date display:

12 February 2016
