 * Hi!
 * This is probably realy easy if you know wordpress, but i’m adding Uji Countdown
   plugin to my header. I’m adding this to the header.php: <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[
   ujicountdown id=”test” expire=”2013/01/25 12:00″]’); ?>
 * This works fine, but I wan’t to have some text before like “it begins in:”. When
   I add text like: <h1>We begin in:</h1> or <p>We being in:</p> it gets added on
   the line above or the line below. How do I add it to the same line?
 * Have a great new year!

 * Try putting it between <span></span> or just not put it in between any HTML.

 * Thanks for the reply! Do you mean like this:
    <div id=”countdown”> <div class
   =”container”> <span> <h1>We start in:</h1><?php echo do_shortcode(‘[ujicountdown
   id=”main” expire=”2013/04/25 12:00″]’);?> </span> </div> </div>

 * No, the below should work.
 *     ```
       <div id="countdown">
       <div class="container">
       <span>We start in: <?php echo do_shortcode('[ujicountdown id="main" expire="2013/04/25 12:00"]');?></span>
       </div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * But I would need to know the format of the output of the counter to know for 
   sure.

 * It didn’t work. How do you mean “format of the output of the counter”

 * You need to edit the plugin and find where it outputs the countdown code and 
   enter the text you want in there.
 * The way I would do it is just search each file for
 * `<div id="ujiCountdown"`
 * Then that is where the output should begin.

 * I have tried and I can’t seem to make it work. Here’s where I try to insert my
   text
    `wp_enqueue_script(‘js_countdown’);
 *  return strip_shortcodes(‘<div id=”ujiCountdown”‘.$classh.’></div>’.$content);
   }}
   add_shortcode(“ujicountdown”, “ujic_code”); ` But it doesn’t work. I it all ends
   up on the line above or the line below. Sorry but I’m really bad at this!

 * What did you try to change it to? Have you asked the developer for help yet?

 * Yes I have tried to ask the developer but no luck.
    I have tried: ‘we start in:
   <div id=”ujiCountdown”‘.$classh.’></div>’.$content); Which ads it on the row 
   abow. And I have tried: ‘<div id=”ujiCountdown”‘.$classh.’></div> we start in:‘.
   $content); Which ads it on the row below. If I ad it inside the div it doesn’t
   show.

 * `<div id="ujiCountdown"'.$classh.'>We Start In:</div>`

 * No if I add it inside the div it doesn’t show up. Would it help if I gave you
   an login to the wp page?
