Faq

Can I set a custom locale (e.g., `uk` or `en-GB`)?

Yes. Use the Locale field and enter any valid BCP-47 tag.

How do I pick the time zone?

Use the Time Zone field and select any valid IANA ID (e.g., Europe/Kyiv, UTC).

Can I use my own fonts?

You can choose from built-in mono fonts (Google Fonts) or keep the system font.

Reviews

Nice plugin

By beka99 on March 30, 2026

This is a very good plugin.
The clock is stylish and decorative.
Easy to install.

Awesome. Best clock plugin

By ecmvilleneuve on December 20, 2025

You have no idea how much I searched & searched for a plugin like this where it will display my server time instead of the correct time display for each person who goes to my page but all the plugins were outdated and didn't work.

All plugins should be tightly-coded single purpose stuff like this

By OllieJones on December 13, 2025

This plugin sends a little bit of HTML and a 15K Javascript file to the user's browser, then the browser updates the clocks. About as lightweight as anybody could hope for.

Thanks for the good work.

Amazing!

Plugin full of porn link

By calogero on May 10, 2025

I'm reading good reviews. I installed the plugin but it's full of link poiting to porn link.
Maybe the plugin was hackered.

Best Simple Digital Clock

Nothing can be simpler than this and that's what I like.

verry good

By handoko14 on December 12, 2024

good and simple

Looks good; difficult to position

By ldevore849 on September 4, 2024

Everything is good except its position. No matter what I do, I cannot get the container of the clock to sit where I want it in a footer widget with another element. It won't align at all. That's my only (major) complaint.

Easy digital clock

By markd49 on July 26, 2024

Once its installed it just sits there and works. It makes my site look like it is active (Counting digital seconds) and up to date (Which it is frequently)

Thanks
