Do you want to redirect users to a different page after the WordPress countdown ends? If you are running a limited-time promotion on a landing page, setting up an automatic redirect after the countdown timer ends prevents visitors from seeing an expired offer and gives them a clear next step.
The Countdown block in Nexter Blocks lets you configure a page redirect that triggers automatically the moment the timer reaches zero. This works for both the Normal and Evergreen countdown types.

Best Used For:
- Flash sale landing pages that redirect to the main shop once the promotion period closes
- Coming soon pages that redirect to the live site the moment the launch countdown reaches zero
- Webinar registration pages that redirect to a replay or thank-you page after the event ends
Requirement – This block is a part of Nexter Blocks. Make sure it is installed and activated.
To do this, add the Countdown block to the page and follow the steps –
1. Select Normal from the Countdown Setup section. Use this for a fixed end date countdown, such as a product launch or a sale that closes on a specific date and time.
Note: You can also redirect users to a different page for the Evergreen option as well.
2. Select the appropriate display style from the Countdown Style section, then set your end date and time using the Time and Date fields.
3. Select Redirect from the Countdown Expiry section, under the Action After Countdown Ending tab.
4. In the Page Redirect Url field, enter the URL of the page where you want to send visitors after the countdown expires. Use this to point users to your main shop, a thank-you page, or a new product page once the promotion ends.
Once the countdown timer expires, all visitors will be automatically redirected to the URL you specified.
