You need a plugin or custom code. The easiest plugin-based approach for Gutenberg users is the Countdown Block by Ultimate Blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Does the Countdown block work with Elementor or Divi?<\/strong><br>No. Ultimate Blocks is designed exclusively for the WordPress Gutenberg block editor. If you use Elementor or Divi, you&#8217;ll need a different countdown plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What happens when the countdown reaches zero?<\/strong><br>The timer stops, and an optional expiration message (caption) is displayed in its place. You configure this message in the block settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I show the countdown in weeks?<\/strong><br>Yes. The Countdown block lets you set the largest displayed unit to Weeks, so you can count down from weeks all the way to seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is Ultimate Blocks free?<\/strong><br>Yes. The Countdown block is available in the free version of Ultimate Blocks. A Pro version is also available with additional blocks and features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I customize the colors of the countdown timer?<\/strong><br>Yes, for the <strong>Circular<\/strong> style. You can change the digit color, background color, and label color. The Regular and Odometer styles have more limited color options.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-divider ub_divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" id=\"ub_divider_0156ef9b-ce62-4751-8d0c-4b5cc9f356bb\"><div class=\"ub_divider_wrapper\" style=\"position: relative; margin-bottom: 2px; width: 100%; height: 2px; \" data-divider-alignment=\"center\"><div class=\"ub_divider_line\" style=\"border-top: 1px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; \"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recommended Reading: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wptablebuilder.com\/de\/countdown-timer-wordpress-plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Countdown Timer WordPress Plugins<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wptablebuilder.com\/de\/best-wordpress-scarcity-amp-urgency-marketing-plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best WordPress Scarcity &amp; Urgency Plugins<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wptablebuilder.com\/de\/best-wordpress-conversion-plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best WordPress Conversion Plugins<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wptablebuilder.com\/de\/best-wordpress-gutenberg-block-plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Gutenberg Blocks WordPress Plugins<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-social-share\" id=\"ub-social-share-35dc7e58-04ea-4b29-8099-117dda66c25f\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"social-share-icons align-icons-center orientation-icons-row\"><a aria-label=\"facebook-logo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwptablebuilder.com%2Fde%2Fhow-to-add-a-countdown-timer-in-wordpress%2F&amp;title=How%20to%20Add%20a%20Countdown%20Timer%20in%20WordPress%20%283%20Easy%20Steps%29\" class=\"ub-social-share-facebook-container\" style=\"border-color: #1877f2; \">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"social-share-icon ub-social-share-facebook square\" style=\"width: 30px; height: 30px; \"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" style=\"fill:#ffffff\" fill=\"#ffffff\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewbox=\"0 0 264 512\"><path d=\"M76.7 512V283H0v-91h76.7v-71.7C76.7 42.4 124.3 0 193.8 0c33.3 0 61.9 2.5 70.2 3.6V85h-48.2c-37.8 0-45.1 18-45.1 44.3V192H256l-11.7 91h-73.6v229\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span style=\"\">share<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a><a aria-label=\"twitter-logo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwptablebuilder.com%2Fde%2Fhow-to-add-a-countdown-timer-in-wordpress%2F&amp;text=How%20to%20Add%20a%20Countdown%20Timer%20in%20WordPress%20%283%20Easy%20Steps%29\" class=\"ub-social-share-twitter-container\" style=\"border-color: #1d9bf0; \">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"social-share-icon ub-social-share-twitter square\" style=\"width: 30px; height: 30px; \"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" style=\"color:#ffffff\" fill=\"#ffffff\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path d=\"M18.901 1.153h3.68l-8.04 9.19L24 22.846h-7.406l-5.8-7.584l-6.638 7.584H.474l8.6-9.83L0 1.154h7.594l5.243 6.932ZM17.61 20.644h2.039L6.486 3.24H4.298Z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span style=\"\">tweet<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a><a aria-label=\"linkedin-logo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/sharing\/share-offsite\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwptablebuilder.com%2Fde%2Fhow-to-add-a-countdown-timer-in-wordpress%2F\" class=\"ub-social-share-linkedin-container\" style=\"border-color: #2867b2; \">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"social-share-icon ub-social-share-linkedin square\" style=\"width: 30px; height: 30px; \"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" style=\"fill:#ffffff\" fill=\"#ffffff\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M100.3 480H7.4V180.9h92.9V480zM53.8 140.1C24.1 140.1 0 115.5 0 85.8 0 56.1 24.1 32 53.8 32c29.7 0 53.8 24.1 53.8 53.8 0 29.7-24.1 54.3-53.8 54.3zM448 480h-92.7V334.4c0-34.7-.7-79.2-48.3-79.2-48.3 0-55.7 37.7-55.7 76.7V480h-92.8V180.9h89.1v40.8h1.3c12.4-23.5 42.7-48.3 87.9-48.3 94 0 111.3 61.9 111.3 142.3V480z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span style=\"\">share<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-divider ub_divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" id=\"ub_divider_4413428d-2a6c-46b4-bb47-e19f36afdbbc\"><div class=\"ub_divider_wrapper\" style=\"position: relative; margin-bottom: 2px; width: 100%; height: 2px; \" data-divider-alignment=\"center\"><div class=\"ub_divider_line\" style=\"border-top: 1px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; \"><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A countdown timer creates urgency, builds anticipation, and drives conversions.
