This plugin is currently in beta, and will be made available for a very limited time. Please download and install only if you are a brave space monkey—and are able and willing to provide feedback. There is a high probability that this plugin will not be released as a free, GPL plugin on the WordPress repo. Regardless, all space monkeys that participate during the alpha and beta stages will receive a licensed copy of the final release of this plugin.
T-Countdown Post Type
Activating the plugin will create a new T-Countdown post type shown here. The T-Countdown post type will be located near the bottom of the admin menu. All aspects of the actual T-Countdown event are created, managed and scheduled in this area. The display options of the countdown, such as countdown style, unique titles for days, minutes, hours, etc is handled either in the sidebar widget or the defined using shortcode attributes.

I’ve got this loaded on my site and all seems to be working. Thanks. www.catalystchurch.cc
It’s counting down BUT the count is not correct. It should be about 29 weeks but instead it’s 48 weeks. It doesn’t seem to matter what month I insert–it still says 48 weeks. Link: http://www.2012celebrateconvention.com/registration/
@Glenda: What short code are you using?
Working well, Thanks !
I want to only show days, no min/hr/sec etc. IS that possible?
@Joshua: It is possible. You will need to add display:none to the min, hours, sec definitions in the style.css file of the countdown.
Second ticker is going way too fast. What’s going on here? It’s almost like 3/4 of a second rather than a real second.
link?
Hoe pas ik de breedte aan?
@Henk Willems:
Width Attribute:
[tminus cid="173" width="300"/]The pre-launch width in px of the countdown – default is ‘auto’.
Ik heb dit overal in de plugin bij ‘width’ veranderd in [tminus cid="173" width="200"/] Helaas zonder resultaat.
@HenK Willems: We zullen kijken naar deze kwestie en ga terug naar je.
We krijgen het niet voor elkaar en gaan opzoek naar een andere counter. Sorry.
Ik vind deze toch het beste. Heb je al een manier gevonden om de breedte aan te passen. Kijk ff op mijn site Ajax1.nl.
@Henk Willems: Ah! you are using the widget in the sidebar! Ok, to adjust the size you will need to basically create a custom countdown style.
1. Edit the background image to fit your skinny sidebar.
2. Edit the CSS to fit the background image / skinny sidebar.
Best of luck.
Hello,
When I try to run it together with jQuery T(-) Countdown (2.0.9), I get this message.
Can you help me. Waht I want to achieve is that the timer will countdown until every Tuesday 19:00 and then restart. Is it possible with this plugin?
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare countdown_style() (previously declared in /var/www/virtual/pilkawstasiu.cba.pl/wp-content/plugins/t-countdown-control/t_minus_countdown.php:470) in /var/www/virtual/pilkawstasiu.cba.pl/wp-content/plugins/jquery-t-countdown-widget/countdown-timer.php on line 79
@Pawel: Yes, this is possible with t-countdown control, however, you can not use BOTH the t-minus countdown WIDGET and t-minus countdown CONTROL. Delete the widget plugin.
Thanks a lot!!!
I’ll try. How can I set such schedule up?
