How to add Countdown to a Netlify CMS website

First, create a Netlify CMS Countdown plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Countdown and enter the Editor.

When you're done creating the Countdown 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.

When you're ready to add the Countdown plugin to your Netlify CMS website, 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 Netlify CMS website.

Next, go to your Netlify CMS website 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 Netlify CMS’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Countdown Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Countdown plugin on your Netlify CMS website.

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

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 Countdown plugin to your Netlify CMS website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Netlify CMS website's HTML code.
