WordPress Countdown Plugin

With this plugin you can set up a countdown timer – or even multiple – on a page. The timer will count down until the given date and show the alternative content.

This plugin is great for use on sales pages and product launches or discounts, it gives a sense of tension to the visitor.

This plugin does not use an admin page, everything is done with a few simple shortcodes.

Usage:

[countdown date="18:00:00 08/30/2009"]
This page goes live in about: [counter]
[after]
Enter your secret content here
[/countdown]

Note that dates are UTC and that alternative content is not send to the browser until the date passed.

1. Upload countdown.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
