What Is Themify Builder Countdown Addon?
Themify Builder Countdown Addon is developed by Themify and is a builder plugin for WordPress designed to expand the base functionality of the Themify Builder. It belongs to the builder category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for front-end design.
This module solves the problem of manual time tracking by providing an automated visual clock for expiring offers. It is built for marketing teams and site owners who need to drive conversions through scarcity and FOMO.
Themify Builder Countdown Addon Features
The feature set is built around granular visual control and automated post-countdown events to ensure the user experience remains smooth after the timer expires.
Customizable Timer Display
The Countdown addon includes a drop-down calendar for easy date selection with adjustable time settings. Users can show years, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, each housed in separate box containers. This level of detail is useful for long-term project events or product roadmaps.
Visual Styling and Design
The plugin features a custom color picker for number containers and allows for background opacity adjustments. Labels for time units can be translated or renamed to any language or text desired. This ensures the timer matches the site’s brand aesthetics perfectly.
Automation and Finish Actions
The addon offers three specific finish action options: do nothing, redirect to an external URL, or show custom content. The show content option supports the WordPress text editor, allowing for HTML, media, and shortcodes to appear automatically once the clock hits zero.
