Description

This is a WordPress plugin created to allow the usage of jQuery Responsive Countdown with Visual Builder tool in your powered by WordPress sites. The tool uses the canvas object to animate SVG defined drawings. It displays a flip animation to show the remaining time to or the elapsed time from a target date. It detects change of width and height of its container object and responds accordingly. Since it uses vector data to draw the digits and the panels of the countdown, there is no change in the quality of the displayed drawings when it gets resized. The WordPress plugin is based on a custom post type template. The administrator has access to interface that allows an interactive process of developing the look and feel of the tool.

Basic Usage

When you purchase the plugin you will be able to download a zip file. This file is used as is in the WordPress Control Panel. You need to upload it in the “Add New” plugin section and the “Dotstudio Responsive Countdown” plugin will be installed. After you activate the plugin a new navigation item will show below Posts, Media, Pages, etc., called Countdowns. From there you will be able to create multiple countdowns, each having unique options. The plugin will create a shortcode, which can be used in your content. To insert a shortcode, simply paste the shortcode in the post or page content editor. If you want to run the shortcodes in sidebar widget, drop in a Text widget and insert the shortcode in the Text box.
