Dynamic Date in Bricks Countdown Element

As of Bricks 1.9.7.1, the built-in Countdown element's Date control does not support dynamic data. That is, it is not possible to set this date from a custom field value natively.

Using BricksExtras' Pro Countdown element is one way of getting around this limitation.

The other option is to use the bricks/element/render filter to set the date programmatically to be equal to that of the custom field value.

This Pro tutorial shows how.

Step 1

Add a field of type 'Date Time Picker' using ACF.

This is a BricksLabs Pro tutorial.
