About this plugin
WordPress Advent Calendar Plugin
Super Advent Calendar adds an advent calendar block to the editor. Put a discount code, a giveaway, a video or a few lines of text behind each door, and pick the date it unlocks. Until then, visitors can’t open it.
Count down to Christmas, a product launch, a wedding or any date that matters to you, with as many doors as you need. Start from a ready-made template or a blank calendar and you’ll have it on your page in a few minutes. Then make it your own: swap the background, change the colors and fonts, and choose how each door opens.
Your visitors get a reason to come back every day to see what’s behind the next door.
Perfect for
- Shops sharing a daily discount code or giveaway in December
