# Time option

 * I’m liking this plugin so far. Just wondering if I’m using the option for time
   correctly. I put an example of 2 shortcodes with different time settings and 
   they show the same countdown although they should be 3 hours apart.
 *     ```
       CSSable Countdown Text Display - [countdown date="03/015/2014" time="05:00:00" timezone="-5" format="DHMS" display="text"]  
   
       CSSable Countdown Text Display - [countdown date="03/015/2014" time="02:00:00" timezone="-5" format="DHMS" display="text"]  
       ```
   
 * Hope you can help!

 * I’m seeing similar behavior. Apparently, the time parameter is being ignored.

   few days)
 * Also, it would be REALLY nice if you were to provide some samples of CSS that
   I could use to format the shortcode so that the time labels didn’t all run together
   like this:
 * 58 0 29 23
    DaysHoursMinutesSeconds

 * I figured out how to get an acceptable display after studying your readme file.
   However, the timer still ignores the time setting.
 * The shortcode I’m using is
 * [countdown date=”05/05/2014″ time=”10:00:00″ display=”text”]
 * I also tried
 * [countdown date=”05/05/2014″ time=”10:00″ display=”text”]
 * Both variations render the same result.

 * I’m looking into why the shortcode is not performing correctly.
 * As for some CSS templates, that’s on my to-do list eventually.
 * I’ll be back, hopefully with an answer.

 * Thanks for the feedback. BTW, I tried 5 different countdown timers, and yours
   was the only one that worked at all from a shortcode. I’m assuming there may 
   be a conflict somewhere in the Raindrops theme, but I’m surprised that would 
   be so hard to make work.

 * You can always test it by temporarily switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme 
   and seeing if the countdown works then. However, I’m seeing this behavior on 
   my end as well, so I’m pretty sure the time is not getting set correctly in the
   code.
 * Playing with timezones is fun 2 hours before DST starts >_<

 * I’ll bet it’s something fairly simple. Don’t sweat it if you don’t get it fixed
   right away. It’s mostly functional, and I have other parts of the customer’s 
   site to work on tomorrow.
 * You might try getting some sleep…

 * I originally tried the shortcode in a clean install of WP and the twenty fourteen
   theme and that’s when I discovered it didn’t work unfortunately. Thanks for looking
   into this!

 * chltx wins the prize, `$instance['hours']` != `$instance['hour']`, which was 
   why the hour parameter wasn’t getting set. Both of you, please download version
   1.4 and it should work now. Thank you again for being patient with me (and for
   being guinea pig testers!) 🙂

 * Awesome! Works perfect and is my favorite countdown plugin thus far for my purposes.
   And I’ve tested too many to count over the years, both free and paid. Thanks 
   again!
