Ultima Gaming Component – Countdown

Our Ultima Gaming theme comes with over a dozen different components that can be pieced together in a variety of different layouts.

We're going to detail each and every component so that you're properly equipped to setup and configure your very own Ultima Gaming WordPress website in the way that suites your needs.

First, if you have already checked out some of our Ultima Gaming Demo sites and you want to replicate the layouts you see there, head over to our Complete Guide to Importing Ultima Gaming Demo Sites.

Countdown Component

To get started, head to your page and under Flexible Template, find Add Section in the bottom right. Click Add Section and select Countdown.

Content

Navigate to the Content Tab to view the content fields for this component.

Most of our components come with the ability to add heading text, sometimes spanning over multiple lines.

Customize your headers with the Text field and optionally change the colors of your headers with the Color field. Headers that span multiple lines will be labelled Line 1, Line 2 etc.

You can leave a Text field blank to display no header at all. Leaving the Color fields blank will make your headers the default color, based on the Color Settings you have set.

Most components have a main Content field set to WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). WYSIWYG fields give you full control of you content by allowing you to change things like font, font-size, color, text decoration etc.

You can expand the WYSIWYG field with more options by clicking the Toolbar Toggle key or using the shortcut (shift+alt+z).

Countdown Settings

Navigate to Countdown Settings Tab.

Here, from the Countdown Selector you can choose between Disabled, Simple Countdown and Advanced Countdown.

Disabled: Show no countdown.

Simple Countdown: Use this for a simple countdown, counting down to a single date and time. Configure this under Simple Countdown.

Advanced Countdown: Use this for an advanced countdown, counting down to your next stream based on a stream schedule, under Schedule Countdown.

Simple Countdown

Schedule Countdown

Buttons
