Very Good
Excellent plugin. I like this.
I was looking for a really nice and slim counter/countdown plugin but many of the ones listed around WP simply have too much bloat with a variety of extra things I really didn’t need. Gladly, Counter Box is exactly what I needed. No bloat, quite slim, and works fantastically, and it ensures to take care of timezone since our server is set to GMT and we operate in EST. The only feature I’d like to see is to allow custom css within the style section, as that would allow the html and css to cooperate within a single area. However, I liked that all I needed to do was write my own html/css to give the counter the skin fit for the page/site. For anyone looking for a nice and lean countdown plug, this is a good choice. Thanks.
This little plugin solved a very real problem I had with Elementor. I required a days-expended from a set-date counter and this plugin is perfect for the task!
Très bien et très bon support réactif. La version pro offre de nombreuses options.
En juin 2021 la documentation reste un peu faible… mais un mail au support… tout ok.
