How Time Delay Works in Kyrios
Kyrios does not use a separate “time delay” element.
Time delay is achieved by combining:
Hidden element visibility
Minute Timer
Expire Actions
The Minute Timer controls when hidden elements are shown or hidden.
Step 1: Hide the Element You Want to Delay
Before an element can appear later, it must be hidden first.
Steps
Click the element you want to delay.
In the right-hand settings panel, open Advanced Settings.
Scroll to Visibility.
Disable visibility for Desktop and Mobile.
Result
The element is now hidden and ready to be revealed by a timer.
Step 2: Add a Minute Timer to the Page
The Minute Timer controls the delay duration.
Steps
Click the + icon in the top-left builder menu.
Open Quick Add.
Select Countdown.
Choose Minute Timer.
The timer will appear at the top of the page.
Step 3: Set the Timer Duration
Define how long the delay should last.
Steps
Click the Minute Timer.
In the right-hand panel, stay on General.
Set the Hours, Minutes, or Seconds.
Leave unused fields set to
0.
Example
45 seconds delay → Minutes:
0, Seconds:453 minute delay → Minutes:
3, Seconds:0
Step 4: Link the Timer to the Hidden Element
This step controls what happens when the timer ends.
Steps
Scroll to Expire Actions.
Select Show & Hide Element.
Click Show Elements.
Check the element(s) you want to appear.
Click Save.
Result
When the timer expires, the selected elements become visible.
Step 5: Hide the Timer (Optional)
You can keep the timer functional without showing it to visitors.
Steps
Click the Minute Timer.
Open Advanced in the right panel.
Scroll to Visibility.
Disable visibility for Desktop and Mobile.
Save.
Result
The timer runs invisibly while still triggering the delay.
Managing Hidden Elements (Recovery Tip)
If you hide an element by mistake:
Steps
Go to Elements > Manage.
Find the hidden element.
Click the eyeball icon to toggle visibility.
This does not affect the timer logic.

FAQ
What should I do if I accidentally hide an element I didn’t want to hide?
Go to Elements > Manage and click the eyeball icon next to the element to restore visibility.
What’s the difference between a countdown timer and a time delay?
In Kyrios, the Minute Timer acts as the time delay by controlling when hidden elements appear or disappear.
Can I use multiple timers on the same page?
Yes. Each Minute Timer can control different elements independently.
What happens when the timer expires?
The actions selected under Expire Actions are executed, such as showing or hiding elements.
Can I make an element disappear after time passes?
Yes. Use Show & Hide Element and select which elements should hide when the timer expires.
