# Countdown shortcode display “(On time)”

 * We use the next match countdown, inserted via shortcode, and it has started to
   add “(On time)” after the team names.
 * I’ve tried it on a backup copy of the site with 2020 theme and all plugins disabled
   except SP, and it still shows.
 * I’ve tried multiple events and switch to TBD and back to On time again, but nothing
   helps.
 * Any ideas how to fix this bug?
 * WP 5.4.2, PHP 7.3.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcountdown-shortcode-display-on-time%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi there!
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * That’s odd. It looks like this is part of the title. The first thing I’d test
   is disabling all custom coding, which you mentioned that you did already.
 * Do you have a test site? I’d like to see how it works with all custom coding 
   disabled and the 2020 (or rookie) theme enabled.
 * Another thing to test just to be sure is if the title of that event doesn’t have
   the event status. Maybe it was added by a plugin and you didn’t notice.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Roch,
 * Thank you. It’s very odd isn’t it?
 * Here’s a staging site with 2020 and all plugins disabled except SportsPress. 
   On the production site we’re using the Classic Editor plugin but this is Gutenberg.
   I can’t see anything relating to this in the Console but I’m not an expert.
 * The events all just have the “team [separator] team” format as their titles. 
   Even if I delete a match, whichever event/match is next up, the “(On time)” still
   appears in the countdown.
 * The shortcode used is:
 * [countdown show_venue=”0″ show_league=”1″ align=”none”]

 * I should add that I also tried the same shortcode in a new post so that it wouldn’t
   have any leftover code from page builders or whatever, and the same thing happened:

 * Hello.
    One solution, use the following plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/real-time-find-and-replace/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/real-time-find-and-replace/)

 * Another solution is to copy countdown.php from `Sportspress/templates` to `child-
   theme/sportspress/` and change the line 141 from:
    `<?php echo $title.' ('.$statuses[
   $sp_status ].')'; ?>` to: `<?php echo $title; ?>`
 * Thanks,
    Savvas

 * Thanks Savvas, I’ve done that on the live site and it works fine.
 * If it would be helpful for you to work out why this was happening, in case it’s
   a bug affecting other sites, I’d be happy to give someone from Themeboy access
   to my staging site. It only started in the last week or two but I don’t think
   there was a SportsPress update in that time.
 * Thanks Plou – I’ll keep that plugin in my back pocket for the future 🙂

 * Hi there!
 * I’m glad it’s resolved.
 * By how the description of how to solve the problem this is actually by design
   now. So you need this customization to remove in case you don’t want it.
 * Thanks!
