FHDCU Dynamic Counter Update

Description

FHDCU Dynamic Counter Update is a simple yet powerful WordPress plugin designed to dynamically display a counter that updates itself every minute. The counter value is incremented by a random number (between 8 and 9) and saved to the database. You can easily display the counter anywhere on your site using a shortcode, and manually manage its value via an intuitive settings page in the WordPress admin.

Key Features:

• Dynamic Updates: The counter automatically increases by a random value every minute.
• Easy Integration: Use the [fhdcu_dynamic_counter] shortcode to display the counter on any page or post.
• Manual Reset: Set or reset the counter value via the admin settings page.
• Customizable Cron Job: Runs on a lightweight, custom one-minute cron schedule.
• Frontend Styling: Includes default CSS and JavaScript for seamless integration.

Usage

To display the counter, simply add the following shortcode to a page or post:
[fhdcu_dynamic_counter]

The counter will dynamically update its value every minute.
