Event Starts Today

[Charles]

Hello my events start today 7/25/16 and the countdown widget displays nothing. Can you help me set the widget up so it displays the word “Today” when we are on the day of the next event starting?

I realize that when you get a chance to look at this it will display a number day correctly, that is why I attached the screen shot.

Howdy Charles,

For sure I would love to help you with this.

When you go to add the widget to an area in WP Admin > Appearance > Widgets it allows you to specify the text that’s shown once the event is here.  So go there, find the widget you’ve added, edit it, and then change the box “Countdown Completed Text:” to your preferred text.

Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!

I am not using the widget I am using the Shortcode

[Brook]

Ahh okay. So you can still specify the text you just have to do so as a shortcode parameter named “complete”:

[tribe_event_countdown slug="awesome-occasion" complete="Today"]

That would show the countdown for an event with the slug “awesome-occasion”, but when the day arrives it will say “Today” instead.

Does that do what you wanted?

Cheers!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
