1. Go to the page you want to insert the COUNTDOWN or RSVP into. Place your cursor where you want to insert them.

2. Go to your red shortcode dropdown and choose either RSVP or COUNTDOWN and insert them. You will need to ensure the plugin WC Shortcodes is installed for this red shortcode box to appear.

3. Both will give you parameters. The RSVP will let you do some styling. The COUNTDOWN will let you enter your desired countdown date and message to display once the countdown is over.
