## FAQ

### Does the plugin use cookies or tracking?

No. Counter Box is fully cookie-free and does not store any personal data. It complies
with GDPR and privacy standards.

### Can I use different timezones for my counters?

Yes. You can set each counter to follow your site’s timezone or the visitor’s local
timezone depending on the use case.

### My counter is not showing on the frontend. How can I fix it?

This is usually caused by caching. Try the following steps:
 1. **Clear your browser
cache** – Use `Ctrl + Shift + R` (Windows) or `Cmd + Shift + R` (Mac). 2. **Clear
your WordPress cache** – If you’re using caching plugins like WP Rocket, W3 Total
Cache, or LiteSpeed Cache, clear their caches. 3. **Purge server-side cache** – 
If you use hosting or proxy-level caching (e.g., Cloudflare, SiteGround), purge 
it via the control panel. 4. **Temporarily disable caching** – If issues persist,
try disabling your caching plugin to check if it’s the source.

### The counter is only visible to me (administrator). Why?

Check if **Test Mode** is enabled in the counter settings. This feature makes the
counter visible only to admins for preview/testing purposes.

### Can I use Counter Box in a multisite setup?

Yes. But for best results, activate the plugin **individually per site** in your
network, not network-wide.

### Does Counter Box affect website speed?

No. The plugin is optimized for performance. It uses modern JavaScript only (no 
jQuery), and is lightweight to ensure fast loading.

### Can I display multiple counters on one page?

Absolutely. You can add as many different counters as needed using shortcodes or
blocks—each with its own settings.

I was looking for a really nice and slim counter/countdown plugin but many of the
ones listed around WP simply have too much bloat with a variety of extra things 
I really didn’t need. Gladly, Counter Box is exactly what I needed. No bloat, quite
slim, and works fantastically, and it ensures to take care of timezone since our
server is set to GMT and we operate in EST. The only feature I’d like to see is 
to allow custom css within the style section, as that would allow the html and css
to cooperate within a single area. However, I liked that all I needed to do was 
write my own html/css to give the counter the skin fit for the page/site. For anyone
looking for a nice and lean countdown plug, this is a good choice. Thanks.

This little plugin solved a very real problem I had with Elementor. I required a
days-expended from a set-date counter and this plugin is perfect for the task!

Très bien et très bon support réactif. La version pro offre de nombreuses options.
En juin 2021 la documentation reste un peu faible… mais un mail au support… tout
ok.

Counter won’t display in either test or active mode. Won’t even preview. Forget 
it!
