# Countdown Timer Functionality

 * I’d pay for a “Pro” version of this plugin that includes countdown timer functionality.
 * Instead of a mere [postexpirator] shortcode that shows the expiration time/date,
   I’d love to see either a new shortcode that counts down to the expiration date,
   or add a parameter that “upgrades” the date/time display to a countdown timer.
 * The styling doesn’t need to be fancy, in my opinion.
 * Is this a possible feature you could add to this plugin? Like I said, I would
   pay for this additional functionality.

 * Thanks for the great idea, [@tedslater](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tedslater/)
 * Yes, this sounds very feasible for a future release of the plugin.
 * I’ve added it to our to-do list.

 * Thanks, Steve. If you’re able to get this added to the plugin, let me know. If
   it’s in your free plugin, let me know how I can buy you a cup of coffee.

 * Thanks [@tedslater](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tedslater/)
 * I’ve added details here for our 2.8 release: [https://github.com/publishpress/PublishPress-Future/issues/240](https://github.com/publishpress/PublishPress-Future/issues/240)
 * We have a few bugs to squash first, but this release is already being planned.

 * Yeah!
 * So that I’m clear, you’re planning to include this functionality in the PublishPress
   Pro plugin ( [https://publishpress.com/publishpress/](https://publishpress.com/publishpress/))?
   And the PublishPress Pro plugin includes the same functionality as the free PublishPress
   Future plugin? If that’s the case, I could uninstall PublishPress Future, and
   instead use PublishPress Pro?
 * I didn’t see the “unpublishing” functionality explicitly listed for PublishPress
   Pro. That’s why I’m asking.

 * This will 100% be in this plugin.
 * Unpublishing on time is a challenge and it needs it’s own infrastructure that’s
   in this plugin.

 * Steve — has this functionality yet been added to the PublishPress Pro plugin?
   If so, if I buy the $69 version of the plugin, I’ll be able to use this functionality?
   Thanks!
