What it does
Counting down to an event, a sale or a product launch is a common need, and building a timer by hand takes time and code. This addon handles it inside the MotoPress Content Editor, where the timer appears under the Other widgets group. You can place it on pages, posts or custom post types, then adjust dates, time zones and styling visually, with no coding required.
The plugin covers the full life of a countdown. Before the timer starts, you can show a custom message or promotional content. While it runs, you choose which units appear, from years down to seconds. When it reaches zero, you can display specific content or send visitors to any URL. Color and size controls let the timer match your design, and the layout adapts to desktops, tablets and phones.
Best for
- WordPress sites built with the MotoPress Visual Builder
- Stores running limited-time sales or product launches
- Event organizers counting down to a specific date
