## Description

The Lightweight Countdown Timers plugin lets you create simple countdown timers 
and place them anywhere with a shortcode. The plugin ads a timers section in the
main menu. Here you can create multiple timers with a few simple settings. When 
saved, the shortcodes to show the timer in the frontend are showed.

Additionally you can use a shortcode to show content only before, or after the deadline
of the timer.

#### Timezone for the timers

The timers always use the timezone set in your WordPress setting, keep this in mind
when setting the deadline.

## FAQ

### Can I add multiple countdown timers?

Yes, you can create as many timers as you like. Each timer gets their own unique
shortcode.

### Are the countdown timers styled by the plugin?

No, the plugin only displays the countdown text. Because the plugin uses shortcodes,
you can use your theme to style the timers.
