Excellent plugin. I like this.
Fantastic! No Bloat!

Don’t work at current wp version 653
Tested this plugin but at wordpress 6.5.3 don’t work anymore. So you have to look for another countdown timer.
Excellent Plugin
Works as it says it does. really helpful. Kudos to the developer
Okay but could be better
The plugin is decent enough but has some pretty simple problems that need fixing. Unfortunately no one seems to answer support posts… This topic was modified 4 years, 8 months ago by shawfacto
