# Date/time PHP loading or change default time/date

 * I want to load the date and time from a record i have in the Database. Now i’m
   wondering if it is possible to change the default date/time if set in the plugin.
   And how could i use the shortcode to display the default values?
 * I don’t mind doing a little coding here and there, but i just can’t seem to figure
   out how to do this. I’ve also tried several other Countdown widgets, tried customising
   code and playing around with PHP values in shortcodes.
 * Any help would be much appreciated 🙂

 * If the plugin already has a date/time set, you’d need to do an Ajax or hard refresh
   to insert a new `time` value into the plugin.
 * You can have multiple plugins on the same page and can mix both shortcode and
   hardcoded PHP calls. Keep the original time value in one call of the plugin, 
   and call the plugin again somewhere else with different parameters.
 * The shortcode parameters are defined in the [FAQ section](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cssable-countdown/faq/)
   on the plugin page. Just follow the given format values and make sure everything’s
   syntactically correct.
