So ...

Once you have created and published your new milestone countdown widget, you'll want to add it to your website ...

If you go to Countdown Timer => Countdown Timer, you'll be able to see your newly published timer and the associated shortcode:


And all you have to do, is to insert that shortcode in the exact place where you want to display the countdown timer ...

Here's the shortcode pasted into my post content ...


... and here's the live result:


And of course, you can use the same shortcode to display the countdown timer in your sidebar or any other widget-ready area. Simply go to Appearance => Widgets, add a new "Text" widget to the targeted widget area and paste the shortcode ...


... to display the timer in the given widget area:


Cool, isn't it?

As you can see, is extremely easy to create nice, engagement-boosting milestone countdown timers on your Wordpress website. And you won't need any complex or expensive solutions ...

And that's it my friends!

Hey Zed,
Excellent training subject. I can see its usefulness already.

I have a question: in lesson three, you show a screen shot of the plugin date and expiry date. Also shown is the circle, which is labeled smooth. After that, nothing is filled out. Are these default settings?

The date must be picked using the calendar feature shown in the screenshot ... Which obviously, it's a relative date (variable) so there is no default setting for that option ...

As far as I remember, the smooth anymation type is the first option in a drop-down list, so yes, you could say that is a default option.
