Let say we include an "Expiration Date" to some posts using a custom metadata field.
Can we show that expiration data on Post Archives like below?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

You'll find a "Countdown" block from Toolset in the blocks list, which can be used to show the countdown timer, linked to a date type custom field.

I've attached the example screenshots from the backend and the frontend showing this block.

regards,
Waqar

Looks like you didn't understand my question properly. Yes, I know I can pull up the dynamic data using the count down the block. But, the Countdown block is big, do you think will it fit for the post archive?

Thanks for writing back.

By default, the "Countdown" block is shown in large buttons styles, but, custom CSS code can be used to make it show in minimal, single-line format, similar to the example you shared.

Once you've added it to your post archive, you can share the link to that page, if you need some pointers for the custom CSS code.

That's a good idea! Thanks!

You're welcome and I'll wait for the link to the archive page.
