 * Hello, I am facing a bug when using the countdown shortcode. [countdown] The 
   text appears to be almost unreadable. (Would be awesome if there was a way to
   get rid of the highlighted box around the text.)

 * additionally it would be nice to change the terminology from commencing to something
   else but making it readable is first priority for me
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcountdown-bug%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * In regards to the word, “commmencing,” you could feasibly update the string using
   the WordPress translation system to the word you prefer.

 * Rather not actually. The site isn’t public yet but I found this support thread
   that someone had a similar issue.. Not sure how exactly this was fixed but it
   seems it isn’t just on my end.

 * Sorry for the delayed reply. It’s the holiday week and we had family in town 
   so I was unable to respond.
   Did Tony Hayes prior posted solution work for you?

 * Looks like Tony Hayes didn’t get back to you here, but the fix he provided on
   that link you posted should do the trick. We you able to resolve with that code
   snippet?
