Cannot get countdown to render.

Event Calendars Bridge Plugin is a plug-in for Smart Countdown FX. You have to install and enable the main plugin first.

Thanks for the answer. I downloaded and activated the Smart Countdown FX plugin. Now when I check the front-end – the short code no longer displays but the counter doesn’t show up. It’s a blank space. When I do a View Source on the page, this is what I see

Please check that you have events in your Events calendar. I recommend just for testing Smart Countdown FX run it first using core functionality (set event date and time in main plugin options, do not import events). Once you get your countdown displayed you can start using event import plugins.
