Add a number counter to WordPress

Type a number in a heading or paragraph and it counts up from zero as it scrolls into view. Prefixes, suffixes, decimals and commas stay where they are.

Three steps. No new tool.

1

Install Grinner free

It’s on WordPress.org. Or go to Plugins, Add New, and search for Grinner Blocks.

2

Write the number

In a Heading or Paragraph, type one number as an unbroken run, using commas for thousands.

3

Turn on Count up

Select the block, switch on Count up, pick a style and a duration, then publish.

Good to know

Fair questions.

Count up is a Grinner upgrade to the Heading and Paragraph blocks. A number you type counts up from zero as it scrolls into view, keeping its prefix, suffix, decimals and commas. Use it to give figures like customers or downloads a little moment of attention.

The block must hold exactly one number. A letter straight before it, as in v2, stops it, and the number simply shows unchanged.

Yes. Common units after the number such as k, M, GB or px are fine. Ordinals like 1st are left alone.

No. Put each number in its own heading or paragraph.

The final number appears at once.

Pairs well with

Try it with these.

Headings that type, decrypt, reveal or arrive word by word.

Use Progress Bar when a number needs its target beside it, such as 42 of 60.

Turn a section, or each block in it, into a card with one switch.
