# How to Create an Evergreen Countdown Timer in WordPress? (Loop Cookie based Timer Per User)

## Key Takeaways

- Nexter Blocks Countdown block adds an evergreen countdown timer in WordPress that resets based on each visitor's actions.
- Track User Data uses Yes(Local Storage Based) to save the timer cookie in the user's browser, so a revisiting user sees the remaining time instead of a reset.
- Enable Loop makes the countdown loop forever, and Delay Minute sets a delay in minutes before the timer starts again after it ends.

Looking to add an evergreen or scarcity countdown timer in WordPress? An evergreen countdown timer is a powerful marketing tool that automatically resets based on each visitor's actions on your site. This gives everyone a personalized, time-sensitive reminder to take action.

With the Countdown block from Nexter Blocks, you can easily add an evergreen countdown timer on your WordPress website.

To do this, add the Countdown block to the page and follow the steps - 

1. Select **Evergreen** from the **Countdown Setup** section.

2. Select the appropriate style from the **Countdown Style **section.

3. Then add the timer reset time in the **Total Time(In Minute)** field.

> *Note: The number will be set in minutes.*

4. Then, under the **Extra Options** tab, select the **Yes(Local Storage Based)** option from the **Track User Data** section. 

This will save the timer cookie in the user's browser, making the countdown timer specific to the user. If the user revisits the page the countdown will not reset, instead it will continue to complete the remaining time.

5. Then enable the **Enable Loop** toggle, this will make the countdown loop forever.

From the **Delay Minute** field, you can set a delay (in minutes) before starting the countdown timer after the timer ends. This way the countdown timer will not restart immediately, making it look more natural.

This is how easily you can create an evergreen countdown timer.
