 * Can I insert the countdown timer by shortcode? I have it through the widget in
   my footer, but would like to add it up further on my home page via shortcode.

 * Sure. Is it OK if the shortcode using a widget?
    For example: `[countdown-widget
   id="3"]`
 * And we can do the settings from the widget panel.

 * Hello zourbuth, I readed furthermore your doc. Is the shortcode only available
   in premium version? I need to add the countdown elsewhere within a theme, is 
   that also possible via PHP? How-to?

 * Hi Marcelo.
 * Yes, there is a shortcode generator/visual builder for the premium version. And
   the shortcode can be added to a template. We can also uses a PHP function to 
   create a countdown with predefined parameters.
