Dynamic Countdown with ACF and Elementor
This is a simple plugin that fixes one of the main issues with the Elementor Countdown Widget; the inability to dynamically set the due date with an ACF Field. The plugin takes an ACF datetime field and makes it the due date for the Elementor Countdown Widget. How to use: Create a Date Time Picker field in ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) Make sure the output of the datetime field is set to: Y-m-d H:i:s (it’s the last option before “Custom”) Copy the Field Name of the field you just created. Paste the Field Name of the field you just created into the input in the DCEA Settings Page. Click on “Save Changes”. Add an Elementor Countdown Widget to your page. The due date is now set from the ACF Field instead of the option in the Elementor Builder interface. Note: This plugin only affects the rendering of the countdown widget on the front end. It does not add dynamic date support to the countdown widget in the Elementor builder interface.

Requirements Elementor Elementor Pro Advanced Custom Fields Pro (The Repeater and Relationship fields are ACF Pro features) Usage 1. Configure the Loop Grid Add an Elementor Loop Grid widget to your page. In the widget settings, go to the Query tab. From the Source dropdown, select “ACF Repeater” or “ACF Relationship”. A new dropdown will appear below the Source. Select the specific ACF field you wish to use as the data source for the grid. Create or select a template for your loop item. 2. Displaying Data in Your Loop Template (ACF Repeater) Edit the Elementor template you are using for your loop item. Add any standard widget, such as a Heading, Text Editor, or Image widget. Click the Dynamic Tags icon next to a field. Scroll to the “ACF Connector” group and select the ACF Repeater Sub Field tag. Click on the tag name again to open its settings. In the Sub Field dropdown, select the specific sub-field you want to display. The fields are grouped by repeater name for clarity. Note that the preview within the template will not display the sub-field data. This is expected behavior because no applicable preview data can be set in Elementor. 3. Displaying Data in Your Loop Template (ACF Relationship) Edit the Elementor template you are using for your loop item. Your template will be supplied with a standard WordPress Post object, so just create your template as you normally would.
