 * Hide timer after expiration (optional).

## መጫን

 2. Activate via the **Plugins** screen.
 3. Go to **Tools > GW Count Down** to adjust the design settings.

    page, or widget.

## የተለመዱ ጥያቄዎች

### How do I use the shortcode?

Example: `[gwcountdown date="2025-12-31 23:59" message="Happy New Year!"]`
 It accepts
both 24‑hour and 12‑hour times (e.g. `11:59 PM`). Your WordPress timezone setting
will be used.

### Can I add multiple countdowns?

Yes. You can place several `[gwcountdown]` shortcodes on the same page or post—each
works independently.

### Can I hide the countdown after it ends?

Yes. Add `hide_on_expire="true"` in the shortcode to remove the timer once the countdown
reaches zero.

### Where can I customize the design?

Go to **Tools > GW Count Down** in your WordPress admin to change font, size, color,
label format and more.
