    Hi there,

    For some unknown reason, the theme I am using (SKT White) does not allow shortcodes to be added to the homepage!

    So, I’m trying to add the shortcode for your Countdown plugin as php. I have it as follows:

    <?php echo do_shortcode(“[tminus t=”03-09-2016 00:00:00″/]”) ?>

    However, this generates a syntax error and my website disappears! Could you kindly advise how the code can be amended to remove the syntax error?

    Thanks in advance!

    does the same thing happen with version 2.3.2?

    a syntax error

    could you be more specific?

    Simply, when I add the line of php to index.php Dreamweaver states that there is a syntax error. When the file is uploaded the website is blank.

    I fiddled with a few things and this worked(!):

    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[tminus t=”03-09-2016 00:00:00″]’); ?>

    However, how do I get the countdown timer on on a single line/row?

    Ah yes, you need to use different quotes to wrap the values then you used to wrap the shortcode. This issue is resolved. As for your single line/row you can a) use a different style or b) search the support threads. This issue has been addressed many times.
