 * Hello [@theblueli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theblueli/),
 * The WP Date and Time Shortcode plugin currently does not provide a ticking clock
   feature. There is no such attribute. Please search the WordPress plugins for “
   ticking clock”. There are some plugins out there already.
 * Thanks!

 * Oh…
   You may want to edit your plugin description then. Anyway thanks will try
   the ticking clock plugin
    - Additional items and attributes:
       * `style` – change font face, color and size;
       * `timezone` – modify the shortcode result to the visitor’s timezone (not
         100% accurate since it gets the timezone by IP address);
       * `counter` – dynamically change displayed values as a ticking text clock;

 * Hi [@theblueli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theblueli/),
 * Unfortunately it is not only editing of the attributes but much additional work
   on the code. This is under the section for the attributes in the future Pro edition
   that is planned but not available yet. 🙂
 * However, thanks for your feedback.
