# WordPress Countdown Plugin – changing location in header

 * Hello – I installed the WordPress Countdown Plugin and used the PHP code to add
   to my header. I’m having trouble changing where it is located in the header and
   hoping for assistance. It’s stuck on the lower left when I’d like to move it 
   to the middle right (whitespace)

 * I have this in the style.css:
 *     ```
       }
       #countdown{
       	float:right;
       	border-right:6px solid #f5f5f5;
       }
       ```
   
 * and this in the header.php:
 *     ```
       <div id="countdown" class="clearfix">
       <ul><?php echo do_shortcode('[CountDown id=1 width=200 custom_widget=0 year=2012 month=11 day=22 hours=8 minute=00 textunder=true]'); ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Any help is appreciated!

 * Try adding ‘margin-right: 120px’ to #countdown, or float it to the left and add
   left margin. If you added the link to your site it would be much easier to help
   you.
    Also, if you are using Chrome you can always right click on a element you
   want to move/change. It will open up developer console where you can make changes
   to the site until you are happy with them. Then al you have to do is to copy 
   those changes to your style.css

 * Thank you Zex for the info – very helpful. I played with the inspect element 
   and was able to change the position – but not save, even when copying>pasting
   into the various style.css associated w/ the theme (the main css and also the
   plug-in css). The link is:

 * And I’ve removed maintenance mode if there are any suggestions you have. thanks
   again!

 * Look at the line 393 in your style.css. There is a closing }, but it’s never 
   opened. Delete that and you are good to go. 🙂
    It’s right here, between social
   icons and #countdown
 *     ```
       /* ----------------------------------------------------- */
       /* Social Icons */
   
       }
       #countdown{
       	position: relative;
       	width: 200px;
       	height: 81.6326530612px;
       	margin-left: 675px;
       	padding-top: 40px;
       	text-align: center;
       }
       ```
