 * Hi there.
    I am a bit lost using these – I am not much of a coder, so please 
   bear with me 🙂
 * I would like to insert 5 watches placed next to each other in my post – 3 on 
   the top line, 2 in the bottom.
    The cites are: Copenhagen, Singapore, Dubai, 
   St. Petersburg and Shanghai. How do I do this? I have not been able to find the
   code to insert.
 * Also, I would like to change the color of the one showing the seconds – how do
   i manage to do that?
 * Hope you can help and that the questions aren’t too much of an inconvenience 
   🙂
    – Love the design!
 * Best regards
    Stine

 * Hi Stine,
 * If you want to insert clocks into a page or post content, you can use the shortcode[
   coolclock] which has many parameters you can add. Read more on [https://wordpress.org/plugins/coolclock/faq/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/coolclock/faq/)
   near the end starting at “Can I insert a clock in posts or pages?”.
 * If you want to add the clock to a theme template php file then there is a code
   example at the bottom of that same FAQ’s page. The php code uses the same shortcode
   and all its parameters as above.
 * For custom skins in combination with shortcodes, you’ll need to add the Advanced
   extension available at [https://premium.status301.net/downloads/coolclock-advanced/](https://premium.status301.net/downloads/coolclock-advanced/)

 * Hi again.
 * Thank you for your reply. I have now tried to insert a clock, but i simply can’t
   make it work. As I said previously, I do not know much about coding – If this
   is a must, please just let me know.
 * I tried to insert the example from the page you linked me; [coolclock skin=”chunkySwissOnBlack”
   radius=”140″ showdigital=digital12 align=”left” /]
 * When I insert this code, nothing appears. A clock only appears when inserting:[
   coolclock /]
    This only displays a default time and it does not have the skin
   i want (the simple skin).
 * Another problem is: I would like to have 3 to 4 clock on one horizontal row. 
   In the questions from others, i can see that other have had the same problem;
   but they all want multiple clocks to be displays in a vertikal row.
 * Hope you can help – and again, please let me know if this is way too advanced
   for a non-coder.

 * Hi Stine, it sounds like a problem with the quote characters used in the shortcode.
   Try this: switch to the Text tab (top-right of the post editor toolbar) and find
   the working shortcode
 *     ```
       [coolclock /]
       ```
   
 * Make sure this code is on a new line (no text right before or after it) and then
   manually add the parameters `gmtoffset=2 subtext=Copenhagen align=left` (using
   no quotes for now)
 * Then save and check the resulting page.
 * If that works, then go back to edit the page and copy the shortcode and paste
   it 4 more times, each on a new line below the first one, every time with a blank
   line between each shortcode. Then modify the gmtoffset and subtext for each one
   to match the other cities.
 * Be aware that you will have to manually adjust the gmtoffset as soon as daylight
   saving time has passed. For Copenhagen, this will be on the 30th of this month:
   gmtoffset must then be 1 instead of 2.
 * To change the skin, add the parameter `skin=` followed by the skin name as instructed
   here on [https://premium.status301.net/coolclock-skins/](https://premium.status301.net/coolclock-skins/)(
   only the minimal skin is not available in the free version)
