You can see next event then can clickable to the event too. I don’t want to us widgets or If you have just only widgets countdown like as you have now How to please let me know step by step please.
Thank you in advance,
MethHowdy methawee,
I am not 100% sure I understood your English. But, if I did you could accomplish this by using a third party widget shortcode plugin. I can give you the steps for adding a widget countdown for a particular events, but it would be up to you and third party plugin of your choice to figure out the rest.
To add a countdown for an event go to Appearance > Widgets. Drag and drop the Events Countdown widget to your sidebar. Select the Event you would like and any other applicable settings, click Save.
As mentioned above some third party plugins, perhaps the AMR Shortcode one or similar, will allow you to to add an event to your content area instead of to the sidebar. So you would follow the above steps, except instead of dragging the widget to the sidebar you would work with the plugin to add it into the content area.
This would just apply for a specific event though, not the next one on your calendar. If you want it to always show a countdown to the next event on the calendar you have to either manually edit the widget settings to the next event each time one transpires, or build a customization using our API (which might require you hiring a developer).
Does that make sense? It is not always possible for us to provide a step by step, especially when third party plugins are necessary to complete a desired customization. But, I will do my best clarify if there is something about our Event Countdown widget that is unclear.

Hi Brook
I am sorry for my broken English Would say I just want to add Event Countdown into my header home page same this website http://chimpgroup.com/wp-demo/mercycorp/ I don’t have Widgets in the homepage but I have it in the post page sidebar that come with Events Calendar PRO(I can do on this part) So How I add Next Event Countdown into my homepage because the Events Calendar PRO don’t have shortcode please help and give me advice. Thank you samMethawee,
No problem about the “broken” English. I will do my best to respond and help.
I did understand enough of what you wanted to do, so my response will not change much from the above. To insert widgets into the content area you will need a third party plugin like AMR Shortcode. Once you have selected and installed the third party plugin, follow whatever steps that plugin requires to insert a widget into your content area.
These are the steps that you would use to insert our widget into a sidebar, and they are probably quite similar for whatever plugin you choose.
To add a countdown for an event go to Appearance > Widgets. Drag and drop the Events Countdown widget to your sidebar. Select the Event you would like and any other applicable settings, click Save.
I can not provide support for a third party plugin, so I can not really give you a step-by-step for that part of it.
Does that make sense? Does following the above advice accomplish what you need? Thanks for posting!
