LikeBusinesses may also be not-for-profit or state-owned. A company possessed by several individuals may be termed as a company, although that phrase also has a more accurate significance.

LikeWelllll, I can't seem to find the plug-ins from my Admin page. Is this something that is available for the FREE Wordpress users? I would really like to put a countdown on a new page I'm adding but can't do it until I find the plug-ins. Also, IF I can use this, can the date be entered as 06-20-2015 or does the year HAVE to be first? I hate it when the year is first - that is just weird to me. Will use it the other way, IF I can, if that's the only option but thought I would ask anyway.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

LikeIs it possible to have more than one countdown on a page? If so how?
It seems to me that you'd need to change this code:
$output = <<<end <div id="CountdownWrapper"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> var endDay = new Date(); endDay = new Date($year, $month - 1, $day, $hour, $minutes, $seconds); jQuery(document).ready(function() { jQuery('#CountdownWrapper').countdown({until: endDay}); }); </script> end;
Since there is only one "ContdownWrapper" element in the current implementation. Any advice?

LikeHi Ivan
I'm interested in adding a timer to my site but I need to use the date in the following format, 2012-07-28 00:00:00 and grab that from a custom field.
Are you able to advise how to use your plugin with php rather than shortcodes?
Thanks!

LikeNice plug-in!Any chance you can add some functionality?
I'd like it to do a countdown to a regularly repeating event. For example, I want it to count down to Thursday 7:30pm every week. It's a half hour event. Then it resets and begins the count down again.Cheers, Jason

Likejasonjordan This plugin is developed as simple as possible by using shortcode in the post/page. i believe your feature is a special case. So i think i cannot add it to this plugin. To facilitate your need, i can make another plugin which have advance option behind it.
