 * This would be perfect except it won’t count down. Just shows 0s for the upcoming
   date/time. So, useless.

 * I feel your pain. I struggled with this for quite awhile. But I found that the
   date picker doesn’t format the date right.
 * In WordPress, go to “Appearance” > “Topbar Countdown” and scroll down to the “
   Countdown to” section. Type in the date in “mm/dd/yyyy” format (i.e. **04/15/
   2017**). This fixed my problem. Hope it helps.

 * Thanks [@huttochamber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/huttochamber/) for
   the heads up on the date issue. That worked for me as well.
