The Jellyfish Counter plugin provides a widget and shortcode enabling you to
easily add animated counters to your WordPress site.
Counters can be used as a manually updated total, an automatic counter that
updates over time or just as an animated visual effect.
Each counter can count upwards or downwards making them suitable for both
incrementing totals or countdown situations. A great visual effect for travel
blogs or any website that wants to display a running total or countdown of anything.
Jellyfish Counters are highly configurable through the widget interface, and
being generated using CSS and JavaScript, they require no external graphics
files. You may have as many counters as you wish on a page, all can have
individual settings for totals and appearance.
Shortcode support allows you to generate a counter directly within any
post or page content making counters no longer limited to your sidebar or
other widgetable area.
Advanced users will find that Jellyfish Counter objects are fully accessible
via JavaScript and may be controlled and reconfigured as desired though your
own custom scripting.
Check out the plugin homepage for demos and further information:

Simply drag a counter widget to your sidebar and adjust the settings to suit
your needs.
There are three basic modes of operation:
Static – If you want the counter to simply display a non animated number
just set a Start Value to the desired number for the counter and set the
Counter Type to ‘static’
Animated – If you supply both start value and end value in the widget, the
counter will increment upwards or downwards depending on the chosen Counter
Type until it reaches the end value. Speed of the count is controlled by the
Animation Speed option. Note, this counter has no memory, it will reset when a
page is reloaded or changed but it is great for a visual effect where start and
end values are relatively close together.
Continuous – If you want to count over a long period of time and need your
counter to continue to count irrespective of page loads then just select the
continuous option in the widget. Then choose the interval between the counter
increments, in seconds. As soon as you save the widget the counter will “start”
and will continue to tick away even if nobody is viewing your blog. Changing the
setting on an active continuous counter will not effect the count value and it
will keep count, if you wish to reset an active continuous counter just change
the start value and save the widget and the counter will restart from the new
starting value.
Note: In continuous mode, animation speed and display tenths have no effect.
The counters are very configurable through the widget panel. You can define
the digit height, width and font as well as animation speed (animated mode only)
and “bustedness” (odometer style misalignment of the digits).
You can further customise the appearance of an individual counter via the
“Digit Style” input that will accept a valid CSS style attributes such as
font-family, colour, background etc.
Note: the size of the font here as is automatically calculated
from the height, width and padding settings.
Need a flat looking counter?
“Disable 3D effect” removes the CSS shading effect.
If you want to display a prefix on the counter or include separating
characters, use the Format input. Just enter a string here representing your
desired counter appearance, a 0 represents a counter digit, any other
character will be displayed as it is. The Format option overrides the number
of digits option, if a format string exists then the counter will use the
total number of 0 characters as the number of digits.
Example Formats:
$0.00
1,000,000
0000 km
You can generate a counter directly within page or post content using the
[jellyfish_counter] shortcode. The shortcode accepts a full range of
parameters to provide identical functionality to the widget version.
The following parameters may be used within a shortcode:
If you don’t specify a parameter it’s default value will be used.
Examples:
[jellyfish_counter end=100]
The above shortcode translates as:
Display a counter that animates upwards from 0 to 100
[jellyfish_counter start=999 end=0 direction=”down”
digit_style=”background: transparent; color: red;” flat=true;
timestamp=”2014-09-28 9:20:21″ interval=300 ]
The above shortcode translates as:
Display a counter that starts at 999 and ends at 0, counting downwards.
It has red digits on a transparent background with no 3D shading effect.
It is a persistent counter that started counting at 9:20:21 on 2014-09-28 and
has been decrementing by one every 300 seconds (5 minutes) since then.
You can modify the appearance of an individual counters text through the
widget control panel or through shortcode parameters. This should be
sufficient for most uses.
However, if you need to globally override the default counter style or make
other CSS changes to the counter digits or container, take a look at
jellyfish-counter.css for the appropriate class names. You should override
this in you theme rather than modifying this css file as any changes made
would be lost when the plugin upgrades..
Starting from $0 per month.
