To use this add-on, you need YOOtheme Pro for Joomla or WordPress. YOOtheme Pro is a separate third-party product and is not included with this package.
Product Overview
Animated Counters for YOOtheme Pro
A4p Counter & Statistics FREE gives you a dedicated YOOtheme Pro element for presenting numerical information in a more engaging way.
Instead of displaying a static number, the counter can animate smoothly from a defined start value to the final value when it becomes visible on the page.
Typical use cases include:
- Years of experience
- Completed projects
- Customers or members
- Locations
- Downloads
- Success rates
- Satisfaction values
- Production figures
- Company milestones
- Website statistics
- Performance indicators
- Fundraising or campaign figures
The element integrates directly into the YOOtheme Pro Builder and can be used without writing custom JavaScript or HTML.
Flexible Number Configuration
Each counter item can be configured individually.
You can define a start value, final value and animation duration and optionally add text before or after the number.
For example:
Prefixes and suffixes make the element suitable for percentages, currencies, units and many other numerical formats.
Thousands separators can also be configured to improve readability for larger values.
Progress Circles
Counters can optionally be combined with an animated progress circle.
The circle uses internally generated SVG markup and does not require external graphics or SVG files.
You can configure the progress value independently from the displayed counter value, giving you flexibility when presenting KPIs and statistics.
Available settings include circle size, stroke width, progress color, background color, animation and rounded line endings.
This makes it easy to create visual statistics such as:
95%
Customer Satisfaction
or:
75 / 100
Performance Score
without installing an additional chart or statistics extension.
Individual Counter Items
A Counter & Statistics element can contain multiple independent items.
Each item can have its own:
- Counter values
- Prefix and suffix
- Title
- Animation duration
- Progress circle
- Panel style
- Vertical alignment
Global settings can be used for a consistent design, while individual item settings allow selected statistics to use their own appearance.
This makes the element suitable for both simple statistic rows and larger KPI sections.
Responsive Grid Layouts
A4p Counter & Statistics FREE uses the YOOtheme Pro and UIkit grid system.
You can control the number of displayed columns for different screen sizes and create layouts that automatically adapt to desktops, tablets and smartphones.
Grid gaps, dividers and panel styles can be adjusted directly in the Builder.
This allows you to create anything from a simple single counter to a complete statistics section with several KPI cards.
Vertical Content Alignment
Counter items do not always contain the same amount of content.
For this reason, A4p Counter & Statistics FREE includes vertical content alignment.
Content can be positioned at the:
Top · Middle · Bottom
A global alignment can be defined for the complete element and overridden for individual items where required.
This is especially useful when counters are displayed inside cards or equal-height grid layouts.
Dynamic Content Support
A4p Counter & Statistics FREE integrates with YOOtheme Pro Dynamic Content.
This allows counter information to be connected with dynamic sources instead of entering every value manually.
Dynamic Content can be especially useful for reusable templates, custom content types and layouts where numerical values change regularly.
Designed for the YOOtheme Pro Workflow
The element is designed to behave like a native YOOtheme Pro Builder element.
Configuration takes place directly inside the Builder and uses familiar YOOtheme concepts such as responsive grids, panel styles, Dynamic Content and Transform.
You can therefore add animated statistics without introducing a completely separate interface or workflow.
Transform between FREE and PRO
A4p Counter & Statistics FREE and A4p Counter & Statistics PRO are separate standalone extensions and can be installed at the same time.
The shared properties of both elements use compatible field names, allowing YOOtheme Pro’s native Transform function to convert supported FREE elements into the PRO version while preserving common settings.
Transforming a PRO element back to FREE keeps supported FREE properties, while PRO-only settings are removed.
