Let me try to help. * The theme is responsive, so it will look a little different on different devices. * From what I can see at the link you posted, the theme might not be configured to show the front-page. * You can check out this article for help with the theme’s configuration: [http://wpchimp.com/b/wpchimp-countdown-theme/](http://wpchimp.com/b/wpchimp-countdown-theme/). * Best regards, Florin Dinu WPChimp Support * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[WPChimp Countdown] Sign up form HTML](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sign-up-form-html/) * Theme Author [WPChimp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpchimp/) * (@wpchimp) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sign-up-form-html/#post-5282874) * Hi strategizeme, * The default form is just an example of how to create and style a form, it is not linked to MailChimp. * Unfortunately the theme does not support the MailChimp Integration plugin, it only supports our own WPChimp plugin (but our plugin is not required for the theme to work). * To make the form work, you have the following options (without using our plugin): * – Copy-paste the HTML for one of the MailChimp embedded forms (you can get them from your MailChimp account). – Manually create a HTML form with the proper fields and action. – Use your current plugin in a widget (the theme supports widgets on the front page). * Best regards, Florin WPChimp Support * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[WPChimp Countdown] WPChimp child theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpchimp-child-theme-1/) * Theme Author [WPChimp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpchimp/) * (@wpchimp) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpchimp-child-theme-1/#post-5282508) * I’m going to mark this as resolved, I’ve replied to the other ticket. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[WPChimp Countdown] WPChimp child theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpchimp-child-theme/) * Theme Author [WPChimp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpchimp/) * (@wpchimp) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpchimp-child-theme/#post-5282506) * Hi strategizeme, * To make a child theme for WPChimp Countdown, you should have a directory called wpchimp-countdown-child inside your wp-content/themes directory and under that directory you should have at least a style.css file (that’s the only requirement). * For example having this css file would work: * ``` /* Theme Name: WPChimp Countdown Child Theme URI: http://example.com Description: WPChimp Coundown Child Theme Author: John Doe Author URI: http://example.com Template: wpchimp-countdown Version: 1.0.0 Tags: responsive-layout, custom-menu, custom-colors, translation-ready, theme-options, editor-style, right-sidebar, threaded-comments Text Domain: wpchimp-countdown-child */ @import url("../wpchimp-countdown/style.css"); /* =Theme customization starts here -------------------------------------------------------------- */ .headline { color: red; } ``` * This example will make the headline text red. * Hope it works out, if not please reply to this message. * Best regards, Florin WPChimp Support * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[WPChimp Countdown] error that takes over my site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-that-takes-over-my-site/) * Theme Author [WPChimp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpchimp/) * (@wpchimp) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-that-takes-over-my-site/#post-5022852) * Hi, * I’m going to mark this issue as resolved. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Can't get mailchimp embedded form code to render in wpchimp countdown theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-get-mailchimp-embedded-form-code-to-render-in-wpchimp-countdown-theme/) * [WPChimp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpchimp/) * (@wpchimp) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-get-mailchimp-embedded-form-code-to-render-in-wpchimp-countdown-theme/#post-5098126) * Hi, * I think you have found a bug in the theme.

This is not supported as far as I know. Basically, you have these options: * * Use the multisite feature: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network](http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network)( activate different themes for each site). * Have two WordPress installations( one for each theme). * Copy the counter code from WPChimp Countdown to the other theme. * Best regards, Florin * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[WPChimp Countdown] No Countdown Clock](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-countdown-clock/) * Theme Author [WPChimp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpchimp/) * (@wpchimp) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-countdown-clock/#post-4706384) * Hi, * You need to configure a static page for the landing page and timer to work.

If this is right, then you can’t really do it with the widgets. * You could try and add some HTML to the form field in the admin. This isn’t pretty but I can’t think of another way to get content centered in there (except editing the theme files). * Best regards, Florin * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[WPChimp Countdown] how to embed social media share in countdown page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-embed-social-media-share-in-countdown-page/) * Theme Author [WPChimp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpchimp/) * (@wpchimp) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-embed-social-media-share-in-countdown-page/#post-4688684) * Hi, * You can use widgets to add anything to the landing page. The theme has two widget areas on the front page (side-by-side at the bottom of the page). * You can either use a plugin that provides social media icons in a widget or add the button code yourself in a text widget. * Check out the “Landing page left” and “Landing page right” widget areas on the Appearance / Widgets page. * Best regards, Florin Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 24 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpchimp/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpchimp/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
