If your event date has passed you will need to create and connect a new Event to your Countdown.
Learn to create an Event on Kajabi.
However, if the date and time of the event has not passed click Edit your events from the Countdown timer sidebar to update your event date and time.
Note:
The countdown timer in an email does not support transparent or opaque colors and will not function properly if the RGBA color format is used.
