How to add Animated Number Counter to a MyBB forum

Embed Animated Number Counter on MyBB

01

Create a Animated Number Counter plugin for MyBB on Common Ninja

First, create a MyBB Animated Number Counter plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Animated Number Counter and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Animated Number Counter plugin

When you're done creating the Animated Number Counter plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Animated Number Counter Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Animated Number Counter plugin to your MyBB forum, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your MyBB forum.

04

Paste the code to your MyBB website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your MyBB forum editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the MyBB’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Animated Number Counter Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Animated Number Counter plugin on your MyBB forum.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Animated Number Counter plugin on your MyBB plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your MyBB forum’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Animated Number Counter plugin to your MyBB forum. You can do this by putting it straight into your MyBB forum's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Animated Number Counter widget when you want your key metrics to stand out and feel credible at first glance. Numbers like users served, projects completed, savings achieved, or years in business are powerful trust signals, but they are often overlooked in plain text. Animation draws attention to them and makes progress or scale feel real. This is ideal for landing pages, about sections, case studies, and dashboards. By presenting stats in a clean, structured way, you help visitors understand your impact quickly and remember it longer. Strong metrics placed near calls to action can reduce hesitation and support higher conversions because they provide immediate evidence of value.
