<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 3: Set the Countdown Date and Time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve inserted the Countdown block, you\u2019ll see a blank timer waiting to be configured. Move to the block settings on the right side of your dashboard, set your preferred time and date, and then scroll down to the Displaying Unit section to pick the largest and smallest unit for your Timer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Configure](\"https:\/\/tableberg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/3.1-1024x684.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOnce your time, date, and display format are set, you can add custom text to display beneath the timer. To do that, select the Countdown block, type your text, and adjust its alignment if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Add](\"https:\/\/tableberg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/3.2-1024x408.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 4: Customize Timer Appearance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Move to the Styles<\/strong> section in the block settings. Ultimate Blocks offers three timer styles: Odometer, Regular, and Circular<\/strong>. By default, your timer will be set in the \u201cOdometer<\/strong>\u201d option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Odometer](\"https:\/\/tableberg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4.1-1024x435.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou can choose \u201cRegular\u201d<\/strong> for a straightforward look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Regular](\"https:\/\/tableberg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4.3-1024x426.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOr, opt for a round-clock style by selecting the \u201cCircular\u201d<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Circular](\"https:\/\/tableberg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4.2-1024x440.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTo further personalize, scroll down to the Color Settings. Select your preferred colors for the Timer Units and the countdown display to match your website\u2019s style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Customize](\"https:\/\/tableberg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4.4-1024x491.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStep 5: Preview and Publish<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Once satisfied with the setup, preview<\/strong> the countdown timer to ensure everything appears as expected. If everything aligns with your vision, Publish<\/strong> the page or post to make the countdown timer live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Preview](\"https:\/\/tableberg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/5-1024x483.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe end result should look like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
