What would the syntax be to diplay the current time UTC not local time?

Hi,

I installed and activated the latest version of the plugin on WordPress 6.4.3.

I have added the following string in a paragraph on a page.

I'm [DatetimeDifference startDate="1981-09-15" endDate="now" format="Y"] years old.

The following text now appears on the page when it is loaded in the browser.

I'm [DatetimeDifference startDate="1981-09-15" endDate="now" format="Y"] years old.

This is not what I expected. In my opinion, the plugin does not work at all.

Did I do something wrong?

Is there any way to change the font of this plugin to match our respective website’s font? Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you very much for the great plugin, I really appreciate it.

My only question is, that which time zone uses the plugin or how can I setup my local time zone for counting of the differences? My local time zone setup in the general settings / WordPress dashboard is correct (Budapest – 12:25 at the sent of this post), but it seems, that the plugin use some other zone for the counting.

Thank you very much!

Hi,
I have created a booking form in my car parking web site, where the customer can select a check-in date and a check-out date, then select the type of car (small car 20€ per day, medium car 25€ per day, big car 30€ per day) from an item list field. The total price (number of days * 20 or 25 or 30€) should be calculated and showed in another form field, before to push the “Book” button in the form.

How could I do this using your plugin?
How I can adapt your example here below in order to get the startDate and endDate values from the check-in and check-out dates field of the booking form?
[TotalDatetimeDifference startDate=”now” endDate=”25.08.2025″ format=”d”]

I am going crazy, but I finally have found your plugin at least. I hope you can help me on this.
Thank you in advacne!

Hello konstantin pankratov,

I have used the old format [DateCounter format=”currentYear”] in hundreds of posts in my blogs to display 2021.

But now, it shows DateCounter error: startDate attribute is required.

Does this mean I have to change [DateCounter format=”currentYear”] to [DateCounter format=”Y”] manually in every single post?

Hola! Necesito mostrar la fecha actual en la cabecera de mi sitio, he estado probando y no lo logré. Donde pongo la fnción now?? Gracias!!

Errors like these are shown on my blog posts.

Notice: date_default_timezone_set(): Timezone ID ‘+00:00’ is invalid in /home2/domainname/public_html/wp-content/plugins/date-counter/DateCounter.php on line 14

Notice: Undefined index: startdate in /home2/domainname/public_html/wp-content/plugins/date-counter/DateCounter.php on line 21

Notice: Undefined index: enddate in /home2/domainname/public_html/wp-content/plugins/date-counter/DateCounter.php on line 27

What’s happening? I have recently updated to latest WordPress version.

[DateCounter startDate="2003-06-08” endDate=”2021-02-25” format=”%y.%m”]

results in “Error: check endDate”

Have tried endDate=”Now” and format=”Years” but still same error message.

Any ideas?

I have set my wordpress timezone to UTC +7 according to my timezone I lived now.

So, for now:
Universal time is 2021-01-13 18:28:33
and my Local time is 2021-01-14 01:28:33.

When I write [DateCounter format=”currentDay”], it always shows the output 13 (maybe refer to Universal Time?)

Is it possible to set the output to Local time? If so, how to make it?

It seems is not longer working. After installing and activating the plugin, I′ve just added the shortcode as you could see below

[DateCounter startDate="2020-10-16" endDate="now" format="Days"]

hi!
I’ve found your plugin while searching for a script that could display a “counter from”-timer at my website. I want to make something like “X days, Y hours, Z minutes since the last BLAH BLAH”.
so I tried to add few shortcodes – eachone counting with different format, but that obviously didn’t worked. I also tried some custom formatting but with no luck.

I guess, that it is not possible with your plugin, am I right?
is it possible that you’d add an option/argument something like “group” so the counters could respect each others?
meaning:

[DateCounter startDate="2020-10-02 13:15" endDate="now" format="Days" group="my-test21]
[DateCounter startDate="2020-10-02 13:15" endDate="now" format="Hours" group="my-test21"]
[DateCounter startDate="2020-10-02 13:15" endDate="now" format="Minutes" group="my-test21"]
[DateCounter startDate="2020-10-02 13:15" endDate="now" format="Seconds" group="my-test21"]

and that would group them all to show correct values, something like in “regular” count-down timers. I guess that adding a new format could do the job, but grouping would give more possibilities [different combinations – days and hours only, minutes and seconds only etc.].

cheers!

edit: of course “my-test21” is just a random name that can be anything suitable for the moment, entered by user ??

Is it possible to have the output display in weeks? For example with a plant, we say “The tomato plant is 12 weeks old”. I tried to change it to week or weeks, but that did not work. The first one is a correct output and is what I am currently using, but would love to be able to do the weeks.

I was planted [DateCounter startDate=”2020-07-01″ endDate=”now” format=”Days”] days ago.

I am [DateCounter startDate=”2020-07-01″ endDate=”now” format=”Weeks”] weeks old.

It’s so very odd because this was working perfectly 1 hour ago. All I did since then was write a post. Here’s the code I’m using:

<h5 style="color:white">Hi! It's been [DateCounter startDate="2020-03-15" endDate="Now" format="Days"] days of quarantine.</h5>

I’m using v. 5.3.2

Thanks!
