  Hey, just one quick question: how can I set the countdown timer to a certain time of a day? If the countdown counts minutes and hours, then these should be displayed correctly. As it is right now the countdown is at “0” even if the event starts in the evening of the day and it should count 20 hrs more…

  Hey, I’m afraid I don’t understand the question :/ Can you rephrase it for me? What’s the shortcode you added and how would you want it?

  Sorry for my bad English 😉

  I used this code:
  [sf_countdown year=”2014″ month=”2″ day=”21″ fontsize=”small” displaytext=”bis zum Workshop”]

  I’m missing an option for the starting time (e.g. hour=”20:00″) – let’s say the event starts on the 2nd April at 20:00 – if I’m visiting the Website at the 2nd April at 10 in the morning, the countdown is already at zero because it only counts days – it is showing how many hours are left but I don’t have an option to set the time in the code…

  Probably there is an option for this which I have overseen? …

  Hi,
  as I can see in the Changelog. The feature should be integrated now. I just updated the theme and was able to insert the short code including the hour variable.

  Nevertheless, the output on the page ignores the hour variable and counts down to midnight. Is that a bug?
  Or does I need to adjust something else?

  My code is
  [sf_countdown year="2014" month="05" day="04" hour="6" type="countdown" fontsize="large" displaytext="Text"]

  Thanks
  Manuel

  Tested here and it works 100%, but it is relative to the system time, so please bear that in mind. If you try with hour set to 0, and then to 1 it should be different.
