Divi Countdown Timer: Add a Fixed or Evergreen Timer (2026)

Divi’s own Countdown Timer module works when every visitor should see the same fixed end date.

For an evergreen timer that starts fresh for each visitor, or one that floats on every page, add a WiserNotify countdown through Divi’s Theme Options.

That second case is where most Divi owners get stuck. The built-in module counts down to one date, and once that date passes, the offer is over for everyone.

Below are all 8 steps with screenshots, from pasting the pixel in Divi to choosing a fixed or evergreen timer.

Divi Countdown Module vs a WiserNotify Timer

Divi’s module sits inside one page and counts to a single date. A WiserNotify timer floats over the pages you pick and can run as a fixed or evergreen countdown.

	Divi Countdown Timer module	WiserNotify timer
End date	One fixed date for everyone	Fixed date, or evergreen per visitor
Where it shows	Inside the page layout you add it to	As a floating bar or box on the pages you choose
Setup across pages	Add the module to each page	Set it once and pick pages with display rules
When it ends	Stays in the layout	Can send visitors to another page

For a one-day launch on a single page, I’d stick with the module. For a rolling offer, a site-wide sale, or anything that needs a deadline per visitor, use the steps below.

How to Add a Countdown Timer to Divi

You’ll work in two places, Divi’s Theme Options and the WiserNotify app. Start the 7-day free trial, then follow along. The video shows the countdown widget being built from start to finish.

Step 1: Copy Your WiserNotify Pixel

1. Log in to WiserNotify and open the Install pixel page.
2. Click Copy code.

Step 2: Open Divi’s Integration Tab

1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Divi > Theme Options.
2. Click the Integration tab.

Step 3: Paste the Pixel in the Head Box

1. Check that Enable header code is set to Enabled.
2. Paste the pixel into Add code to the < head > of your blog.
3. Click Save Changes.

Code in this box loads in the head of every page, so the timer can show anywhere on your Divi site.

Step 4: Verify the Pixel

1. Go back to the WiserNotify pixel page.
2. Click Verify pixel installation.
3. Wait for the green line saying the pixel code was detected.

Step 5: Open the Widgets List

1. In the left menu, open Notifications > Widgets.
2. Click Add notification.

Step 6: Pick a Countdown Timer

1. Open the Countdown tab.
2. Click Add on the timer design you like.
3. Name it, enter your Divi site’s address, and click Create & Customize.

Step 7: Design It and Set the Countdown

1. Write your headline and labels in Text editor.
2. Set the button text and link in Click actions.
3. Choose the top or bottom of the screen in Position & animation.
4. Match your Divi colors in Style.
5. In Set countdown timer, enter a fixed end date or tick Evergreen countdown.
6. Adjust delays in Timing control, then click Save.

Step 8: Choose Pages and Publish

1. Open the Display tab.
2. Show the timer on all pages, or limit it with a URL condition.
3. Add country, UTM, or new and returning visitor rules if you need them.
4. Click Publish and turn the widget on.

Evergreen Countdown Timer on Divi

An evergreen countdown starts when each visitor arrives, so someone landing on Thursday gets the same full window as someone who came on Monday.

Both options live in the same panel, which makes switching easy.

• Fixed countdown. Pick a date and time. Everyone sees the same deadline, which suits a Black Friday sale or a launch day.
• Evergreen countdown. Tick the box and each visitor gets their own countdown. It fits welcome offers, course enrollments, and webinar replays.
• Auto-redirect upon timer expiry. Send people to another page when time runs out, like a full-price page or a waitlist.
• Hide day, hour, or minute counters. Drop the units you don’t need for short offers.

One honest rule I stick to: only run an evergreen timer when the offer ends for that visitor. A deadline that quietly resets is fake urgency, and shoppers notice.

Countdown Timer Not Showing on Divi?

A WiserNotify timer usually stays hidden on Divi because header code is switched off, the pixel was pasted on one page only, or the end date has already passed.

• Header code turned off. In the Integration tab, set Enable header code back to Enabled and save.
• Pixel in a Code module. A Code module only loads on the page you place it on. Move the pixel to the head box.
• Date already passed. A fixed countdown with an old date has nothing left to count. Pick a future date or switch to evergreen.
• Widget still off. Check its toggle in the Widgets list.
• Wrong URL rule. One wrong character in a page condition is enough to hide it. Switch to all pages while you test.
• Cached view. Clear any caching plugin and check in a private window.

When and Where to Use a Countdown on Divi

• Sales and offer pages. A deadline next to the price helps people decide before they leave.
• Product launches. Count down to launch day on the landing page and collect early interest.
• Webinars and events. Show how long registration stays open.
• Seasonal sales. Run one site-wide timer for Black Friday or a holiday sale instead of editing every page.
• Welcome offers. Give first-time visitors an evergreen window to use a discount, and pair it with offers on Divi that show the code.

More Urgency Widgets in the Same Dashboard

The countdown is one of several widgets that run on the same pixel. Announcement bars, offer boxes, and email collectors all sit in the same list.

For a single message across the top of every page, the steps to add an announcement bar to Divi work the same way.

Social proof notifications live there too. A countdown tells people time is short, and a recent order shows others are already buying, so the two work well together.

Here’s how to show a sales notification popup on Divi next to your timer.

Common Countdown Mistakes on Divi

• Two timers on one page. In my experience this is the most common mix-up, a module in the layout plus a floating bar with different dates. Pick one.
• Expired timers left up. A clock stuck at zero tells visitors the site isn’t looked after.
• Resetting deadlines. If the offer doesn’t end, don’t show a countdown for it.
• Covering the menu on mobile. Check the bar on your phone, especially if your Divi header is fixed to the top.
• No clear next step. Add a button in Click actions so the timer leads somewhere.

How to Measure the Impact

Compare conversions on the pages with the timer for a few weeks before and after it goes live, and change one setting at a time.

• Check views and clicks for the widget under Performance in WiserNotify.
• Set a goal so clicks on the timer button connect to signups or sales.
• A/B test fixed against evergreen on the same offer.
• Build each test version around one idea, like the deadline or the discount. This guide to FOMO marketing covers the angles.

Wrap Up

Divi’s module covers a single date on a single page. Once you need a deadline per visitor or one timer across the whole site, the WiserNotify route through Theme Options is quicker to manage.

Start with one offer page, pick fixed or evergreen, and watch how people respond before you roll it out wider.

Switching away from Divi later? The same timer runs on other themes through the WiserNotify plugin, covered in this guide to adding a countdown timer to any WordPress theme.
