 * Dear Team,
 * first of all thank you for your good work .
 * I habe a problem with the YITH Topbar Countdown. After I activated and configurated
   until October, 2nd, it didn’t start counting. (0 days, 0 hours, …)
    See image:

 * Do you know how that could happen.
 * I’m looking forward for the solution.
 * Best regards from Austria,
    Christoph

 * Do not use the date picker. You have to type the date in mm/dd/yyyy format. That
   was my experience, anyway…

 * It helped me change the separator to a dot.
 * functions.yith-tcountdown.php
 *     ```
       function yith_countdown_unixstamp( $date ) {
               list( $mm, $dd, $yy ) = !empty( $date['date'] ) ? explode( '.', $date['date'] ) : array( 0, 0, 0 );
       ```

 * Hello! Thanks for your help, it works fine now, also translated in German. (hours,
   minutes, seconds)
 * Great plugin, exactly what we need.
 * Best regards,
    Christoph
