FAQ

Questions and answers

Which timezone does the timer use?

It uses the timezone set in the WordPress settings of the site. The Due Date field shows it in a note.

What happens when the countdown ends?

It depends on When Finished. The timer can stay at zeros, be replaced by a message or be hidden.

Can I show only hours, minutes and seconds?

Yes. Switch off Show Days. The remaining days are then counted in the hours box.

Does the timer restart for each visitor?

No. It counts to one fixed date and time. It is not a per visitor timer.
