## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if my custom message doesn't show after the countdown ends?**
A: If your custom message isn't appearing after the countdown timer ends, ensure that you've selected 'Message' from the 'Select Action' dropdown under the Special Option tab. Additionally, double-check that you've entered your custom message in the 'Expiry Message' field.

Use bold fonts and colors that align with your brand but ensure they are easily readable. The Plus Addons for Elementor allows you to select styles in the Countdown Style section, so experiment with different options to find what works best for your audience.
