Description
The Event Countdown add-on adds a dynamic countdown timer to EventON events, displaying the days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining until the start of each appointment directly on the page or through a positionable widget. The add-on serves organizers who need to highlight urgency and build anticipation for scheduled events, conferences, launches, and time-limited tickets.

Who Is It For?
- Event organizers who use EventON to promote conferences, workshops, and talks.
- Promoters of concerts, festivals, and launches who depend on a sense of urgency to sell tickets.
- Agencies and producers who manage multiple events with scheduled dates and need to highlight countdowns for each one.
Designed for those who already use EventON as their calendar foundation, Event Countdown adds a visual layer of urgency that enhances events with fixed dates. The component is especially useful on conference websites, product launches, and ticket sales, where the countdown works as a conversion trigger and helps turn visitors into registrants before the appointment begins.

How to install
Automatic updates: this item is updated by the Ultrapack Auto Updater. With it installed, the new version shows up in your dashboard like any other WordPress update (how to set it up).
This item is an add-on for the EventON – WordPress Event Calendar plugin. Installed on its own it throws no error, but it does not work either.
- Install and activate the EventON – WordPress Event Calendar plugin before this one.
- Download the file
eventon-countdown.zip. - In the WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
- Select the file
eventon-countdown.zip, click Install Now and then Activate.
- Both stay active at the same time. Deactivating the EventON – WordPress Event Calendar plugin turns this add-on off with it.
- An add-on settings usually show up inside the main plugin screens, not in a menu of their own. If you find nothing new in the dashboard after activating, look there before opening a ticket.
