Overview
Easy Timer allows you to easily insert into posts, pages and widgets of your website an unlimited number of count down/up timers that refresh every second, and the time or date. Each countdown timer shows the time remaining until the date you choose, and, if you want, reveals a hidden content when this date is reached. Each countup timer shows the time elapsed since the date you choose or the time spent by the Internet user on the webpage.
Easy Timer also allows you to schedule an automatic content modification.

DIY Denial of Service attack. No support
·2 years ago
This could be an absolutely amazing plugin, it can do awesome things, but it has one major issue which is causing sites to be overloaded and return an Error 500. When a timer expires on an open page the plugin causes that page to start reloading every second, overloading the server and taking the site offline. It is essentially a DYI DoS attack.
This has been pointed out in a couple of support threads, dating back as much as 2 years ago, which remain unanswered. It has taken me a long time to figure out that this plugin was the cause of my site issues, and I know it has caused me a lot of sales from frustrated customers. Until this is resolved and the author starts to respond to support requests I would recommend giving the plugin a miss.
Well done

Well done, fit my needs. Thanks a lot for investigating in this plugin!
One thing I’m missing is the possibility to show the number of years in the count up. I wanted to show how old an institution is, in years, month and days …
Excellent Plugin
by neetaau·8 years ago
Superb plugin. I was looking was a timer that counts up and after tried so many bad plugins, found this.
Its awesome and easy to use just with a simple shortcode.

Not So Easy

Not so easy and lacks a good IDE for the non coder.
