Countdown layer

You can find the Countdown layer in the Slide Editor.

☝️ Note: This layer is only available in the Pro version of Smart Slider 3, from version 3.5.1.2.

The translation of labels happens from our language files.

The Countdown layer lets you create a countdown for a time you set.

Content

Date

Use slide schedule

You can use the Unpublish on date of the Slide as the date of the counter. This way when the counter reaches 0, the slide will be unpublished.

Year, month, day, hour, minute

This is where you can set the date and time you want to count down to.

☝️ Note: The Countdown layer uses the timezone you set for your site. You can find the timezone setting at the following places:

on WordPress at Settings → General → Timezone
on Joomla at System → Global Configuration → Server → Website Time Zone

Style

Show label
