Important notes<\/strong><\/p>\nThe builder settings are stored in the page content. To reuse and centrally manage the same configuration on multiple pages, create a saved countdown and use the standard block instead.<\/p>\n
The builder automatically creates a unique countdown ID. The ID remains editable and distinguishes tracking data belonging to different evergreen countdowns.<\/p>\n

\nStarts a personal countdown from the visitor’s first tracked visit.<\/li>\n- Specific date<\/strong>
\nCounts down to one absolute date and time using the site timezone.<\/li>\n- Recurring<\/strong>
\nRuns repeated countdown windows according to a schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nEvergreen settings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Evergreen days<\/strong>
\nSets the day portion of the personal duration.<\/li>\n- Evergreen hours<\/strong>
\nSets the hour portion of the personal duration.<\/li>\n- Evergreen minutes<\/strong>
\nSets the minute portion of the personal duration.<\/li>\n- Evergreen seconds<\/strong>
\nSets the second portion of the personal duration.<\/li>\n- Tracking method<\/strong>
\nDetermines how the first visit is recognized and how the countdown start time is shared.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTracking methods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Cookie<\/strong>
\nAssociates the countdown start time with a browser cookie. A different browser or private session receives a separate countdown.<\/li>\n- IP<\/strong>
\nAssociates the start time with the visitor’s anonymized IP address. Visitors sharing the same IP also share the countdown start time.<\/li>\n- Cookie or IP<\/strong>
\nUses both identifiers and keeps the earliest available start time. A known IP can initialize a new cookie, while an existing cookie can preserve the start time after a network change.<\/li>\n- Logged-in user<\/strong>
\nAssociates the start time with the WordPress account, so it follows the user across browsers and devices. Visitors who are not logged in fall back to cookie tracking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTracking applies only to evergreen countdowns. The countdown ID is part of every tracking key, so different IDs maintain independent start times.<\/p>\n
Specific date settings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- End date\/time<\/strong>
\nSets the absolute date and time when the countdown reaches zero. The site timezone is used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nRecurring settings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Repeat every<\/strong>

\nDefine the pause between the end of one active window and the next restart.<\/li>\n- Run on days<\/strong>
\nSelects the weekdays on which the countdown is allowed to run.<\/li>\n- On the unselected day(s)<\/strong>
\nCountdown to the next selected day<\/strong> displays the time remaining before the next allowed day.
\nHide the countdown timer<\/strong> removes the timer on unselected days.<\/li>\n- Before start<\/strong>
\nHide timer completely<\/strong> hides all output before the scheduled start.
\nShow message only<\/strong> displays only the waiting message.
