## FAQ

  How do I move the countdown?

The countdown must be called at a point where `global $product` is available, so

make sure to call this plugin after WooCommerce has loaded. To move the countdown,
you can remove the action and then add it back wherever you want:

    ```
    /**
     * Move dispatch countdown
     */
    function your_theme_move_dispatch_countdown() {
        // Check the class exists
        if ( ! class_exists( 'Dispatch_Countdown' ) ) {
            return;
        }

        // Get the current instance
        $dispatch_countdown = Dispatch_Countdown::get_public_instance();

        // Remove the action
        remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product', array( $dispatch_countdown, 'display_countdown' ) );

        // Add the action back where you like
        add_action( 'your_theme_before_main_container', array( $dispatch_countdown, 'display_countdown' ) );
    }
    add_action( 'init', 'your_theme_move_dispatch_countdown' );
    ```

Replacing `your_theme_before_main_container` with whichever hook you wish

  How do I change the HTML output?

There are a few filters available to override certain parts of the output. The
 
main filter is `dispatch_countdown_content` and can be used as follows:

    ```
    /**
     * Change countdown HTML output
     *
     * NOTE: You must include an element with the id of dispatch-countdown__time`
    ```

* as javascript uses this to update the countdown.
 */ function your_theme_dispatch_countdown_content(
$html, $wording, $product, $countdown ) { // Add the wording $countdown_html = esc_html(
$wording ); // Add the element for js to update – be sure to include the product
ID as shown $countdown_html .= ‚ ‚; // Add the countdown text $countdown_html .=
esc_html( $countdown ); // Close the countdown element $countdown_html .= “;

    ```
    return $countdown_html;
    ```

}
 add_filter( ‚dispatch_countdown_content‘, ‚your_theme_dispatch_countdown_content‘,
10, 4 );`

### 󠀁[Simple and Effective](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-effective-1219/)󠁿

 [kyarauk](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kyarauk/) November 22, 2020

I was a bit doubtful in installing this plugin given it hasn’t got any reviews or
many installations, but I was wrong. I needed something a lightweight way to offer
a dispatch message on my product pages and after testing it locally with no issues,
I added it to my site and so far it has worked as expected. The code supplied to
move the message doesn’t seem to work, but I am happy having it where it is.
