I'm still very new at all this, and i searched as best I could, but was not able to find a solution. So, please forgive me for bringing up an old topic. Thanks.

If other third party widgets can do it, you can do it too. It's looks correct once a month. It's not up to WordPress standards. But it is so clean and attractive and would be heavily used if users weren't all saying "huh?" when they see it.

Can't this widget be upgraded pretty easily by someone out there? Please?

There are some other countdown tickers you can use.

I understand this is may not an urgent issue for WordPress it does seem like a lot of people would like this change and have been asking for a fix for a while... am hoping my additional post will move it up on the priorities list!

My Milestone for an event is October 15th, which is 54 (to the day) days away. Unfortunately, currently the Milestone widget shows 1 month, which is highly incorrect, especially since it's almost 2 months away. It would really be best if the widget either counts down the days, or months and remaining days. Right now I'm going to use another widget, cause this is clearly not working.

Looks like the WordPress.com support team is non existent as there are no replies and no direct email address to use. Not even sure there are reading this forum as there are no answers at all !
I'm clueless why that is that way !

I currently have an important date listed that is more than 1 month away, but less than 2 months, and the widget says it is 1 month away. As I run a non-profit blog and we are counting down to a building construction event, accuracy is important!

I love the widget, but if it can't be fixed, I'm going to have to remove it as I don't want to mislead potential donors.

@justpi : Thank you very much for the links but I have not been able to find a counter as "clean" in terms of the visual aspect as the current one. Maybe you can propose one. Thks.

Adding a days option would be most excellent. Seconds, not so much.

That makes so much more sense. As it is, it's really confusing for 24 days out of the month, if you're more than one month out. I'm removing it until then. :(

We really do need proper formatting options so that we can display the countdown how we want it oo. Just displaying months isn't helpful at all. We need Months, Weeks and Days (hours and minutes are also good!!). We need to the choise of how many of these we display, dropping months and weeks would just show the total days left (4 weeks = 28 days for example).
The widget could also use some colour options and, importantly, a size option - small, medium, large. Lets say the current one is Large and scale down from there.

Come on WP, you can do this!!

I'd love to be able to change the timeframe displayed on the Milestone widget.
Options of days or weeks would be a great addition to the month option.
I'd also love it to be a user-choice as to which is displayed

I have used the Milestone Widget a couple of times and the Month counter can be a bit misleading - nice that it switches from Months to days at 1 month out - but a about 59 days it still says 1 Month - misleading to me and confused some students
