# Displaying countdown timer in sticky bar

To get started, navigate to **Appearance > Elements > Sticky bar**:

![Sticky bar settings](https://1703849401-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Lm_rZfM-dEfD2qmxVDD%2F-MQxMfx9Hdvb8cZjb0DC%2F-MQxObJnMrSQgHT93F56%2Fsticky-bar.jpg?alt=media\&token=af0b0d06-6560-472a-a07a-6252d863dc11)

By default, a dismissed sticky bar will be hidden for 7 days. You can change that by using the option "When closed, re-open after".

### Troubleshooting

#### The sticky bar isn't showing up

Make sure the jQuery library is loaded, to do so, insert this code snippet in the **functions.php** under *WordPress Appearance menu > Theme Editor:*

```php

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
		if( ! wp_script_is('jquery') || ! wp_script_is('jquery', 'registered') ) {
			wp_enqueue_script('jquery', 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js', array(), null, true);
		}
});
```
