 * Dear guys:
 * I need a working code for a countdown timer. The trouble i have is this: there
   are many working countdown timers in wordpress that work with shortcodes, but
   I can’t use those shortcodes in WP Top Bar.
 * I want a countdown for Halloween. I know that I can create a toolbar for each
   day and make it like “Only xxx days left to Halloween!” but that is a lot of 
   extra work.
 * I look for a soution to be able to enter some code that automatically displays
   a countdown like those countless countdown timer plugins offer!
 * Thanks for an urgent solution of this!

 * To execute a shortcode, you can use the **do_shortcode()** function.
 * For example, here is one way to do it in the PHP tab. This will create a countdown
   timer. Using the code below, you would need to style the timer with CSS to make
   it look nice.
 * `echo do_shortcode( '[tminus t="10-31-2014 00:00:00"]HTML to be displayed when
   the countdown reaches zero.[/tminus]');`

 * i am not really a programmer, is it possible to have a screenshot to where exactly
   put it in – in “before the topBar is generated” or “after” – and then what to
   add into the regular text field?
