Countdown to Next Post

Beskrywing

This plugin will display a countdown timer that counts down towards your next scheduled post.

The countdown to your next post can be added as a widget, manually to your sidebar, or into any post or page.

This plugin is perfect for people who write posts in advance and schedule them to be posted at a later time. This plugin will automatically search the wordpress database for the next scheduled post and display a countdown so your readers know exactly when it will be posted.

Kwel-vrae

I am not getting a countdown. All I see is “No scheduled Posts”.

For this plugin to create a countdown timer there needs to be atleast one post scheduled to be posted at a future time. If you do not have any posts scheduled then you will not see a countdown because there is nothing to countdown to. I would suggest scheduling a test post so you can play around with the plugin and get the formatting how you want it.

How do I schedule a post to be posted at a later time?

When you have completed writing a post, you have the option of posting it right away or scheduling it to post at a later time. You can do this by clicking on the “edit” link beside “Publish immediately” which is just above the save and publish buttons.
