Are you still supporting it, or is it truly abandoned?

Hi,

I love the plugin but I’m struggling with displaying it inline. I want to have it displayed in a sentence, without any line break. How to achieve that (with CSS I presume)?

Is it common for the plugin to constantly hit access “GET /wp-json/tminus/v1/now HTTP/1.1” and jquery. In my access logs that endpoint is constantly being hit. I think it is causing memory leaks.

How does one use the shortcode, exactly?

Hi,

I have been using T(-) for quite some time and really like it. Recently, I moved it from a third footer widget area to a fourth footer widget area and it stop counting down. If you refresh the page the time is updated but it doesn’t actively count anymore?

Cheers,

John

We use T- on a landing page > button reveal > product page. For the first time, customers were experiencing the countdown looping and resetting to either a new increment or looping beyond its expiration (in both cases not displaying the button). This site was recently migrated to a new host who advised that we bypass the page from cache in Cloudflare page rules. Here is a test version of the page, which is also bypassing cache.

Here is the actual shortcode that was in the problematic page:

[tminus t= “10-03-2020 12:00:00″][button size=” style=” text=’VIEW SECRET MISSION X’ icon=” icon_color=” link=’https://spacemaneffects.com/products/secret-mission-x/’ target=’_self’ color=” hover_color=” border_color=” hover_border_color=” background_color=” hover_background_color=” font_style=” font_weight=” text_align=” margin=”][/tminus]

Just noticing in GTMetrix reports that the http GET request for “now” from the T(-) plugin adds a lot of time to my page load, and only after most of the rest of the page loads. Depending on the test, it looks like it’s waiting 600-800+ ms for cloudflare to return a response.

Wondering if you know of a way to speed this up.

I have a screenshot to share if that helps.

I have a countdown timer (T(-)Countdown) on this page, but I need to have 3 timers on this page depending on what size the screen is for responsiveness. Currently, I can only get one of the timers to work. It does not look like what I need is the multi recurring timer feature as it looks like that is to countdown for one at a time in order of the events happening.

Hello.

Before the update i was using 2.4.6 and my countdown was right.
Since 2.4.7 my countdown shows one hour less although i haven’t changed the shortcode.

I deinstalled 2.4.7 and installed 2.4.6 again from Github -> everything correct.
Updated again in WordPress to 2.4.7. -> one hour missing

I am using this shortcode:
[tminus t="19:59:59" style="cloud-city" omitweeks="true" omityears="true" omitmonths="true" ] and Countdowns works perfect.

I wish to style the digit (black) and block(grey) to different colors and not sure about the css class to use for this.

I used this for digits but not working.

.cloud-city-digit {
    color: #87C540;
}

and this for block, not working too.

.cloud-city-block {
    color: #A7C540;
}

Hi there.

1. As there is no Widget included and the settings dialog does not affect the shortcode (as far as I’ve figured out) why not throw it out to make the plug in smaller?

2. An option not to count down but up (e.g. this website is running for x days now) but be nice and not to difficult to implement.

Cheers

Hi there.

I set the timezone in my WP correct to Berlin.

I also set the timezone “Europe/Berlin” in the shortcode.

But the countdown is still adding 2 hours to my event.

Event date and time: May 29th 2020 13:30
Checked on January 29th 2020 at 15:56

Countdown says 120 days, 23 hours, 33 minutes.
But it should be 21 hours.

How can i fix this?

Cheers

Kai

you have a bug in your code in t-countdown/t-countdown.php:541

around the daylabel there are two dots too mutch

… eks=”‘.$atts[‘weeklabel’].'” days=”.‘.$atts[‘daylabel’].’.” hou ….

The Gutenberg block is good, but I see no obvious way to add it to an Elementor page. Any chance of an Elementor block in the future?

We were using the jquery widget version (which we found much easier) on our site. C-3po mini was the perfect size. The others are all coming in too big. But I notice on your site with the shortcode this style seems no longer to be available. Did you remove it?

If so is there anyway to make any of the other styles smaller?

I have checked the general settings and it is set to Chicago.

If the current date/time in Chicago is 2019-11-13 13:00:00 and I set use the following short code

[tminus t=”2019-11-14 13:00:00″ omitweeks=”true” omityears=”true” omitseconds=”true” style=”hoth”/]

The countdown timer will show 18:00:00 till event which when I would expect it to be 1 day or 24 hours.

I also tried

[tminus t=”2019-11-14 13:00:00″ timezone=”America/Chicago” omitweeks=”true” omityears=”true” omitseconds=”true” style=”hoth”/]

with the same results. I have also tried clearing all cache on both browsers and the servers

I have a strange issue with the calculated number of days.

Today it’s October 5, 2019 and I use the following shortcode:
echo do_shortcode('[tminus t="2019-10-27 23:59:59" /]')

Page source shows me the following, which seems correct:

targetDate: {
	'day': 	28,
	'month': 10,
	'year': 2019,
	'hour': 00,
	'min': 	59,
	'sec': 	59,
	'localtime': '10/5/2019 11:18:15'
},

This should be some 22 days form now, but the counter is showing
“01” day.

If I change the date to for example:
tminus t="2019-10-10 23:59:59"
the counter shows 05 days, which is correct

If I change the date to for example:
tminus t="2019-10-20 23:59:59"
the counter shows 01 days, which is incorrect

I’ve also tried the following:
tminus t="10/27/2019 23:59:59"
tminus t="October 27, 2019"

I deactivated the Autoptimize caching plugin, it made no difference.

Can you please help me try to understand what’s going on?
Any help would be really appreciated.

Wow, this plugin got really complicated! The widget was much easier. In any case, I have this in my text widget:

[tminus t=”2020-08-23 15-00-00″ style=”darth”/]

I’m getting this showing up on the front end:

DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (2020-08-23 15-00-00) at position 11 (1): Double date specification

I also used the plugin Settings to hide years, months and weeks, but they’re showing up anyway.

Loved the old version, really user-friendly. This is a challenge!!

Thanks for any help.

I feel like such a grandma right now, but I can’t find an answer anywhere. I am using Elementor, and want to add a countdown to my page. What is step 1? How do I set a target date? All of the documentation I can find seems to be working from the widget page. Thanks in advace

Hi,
Thanks for the great plugin!

Is there a style with “no style”, ie. plain simple text?

Thanks again.

Hello, hoth style was very nice, but in the new plugin it is broken (not same aspect).
could you please put it again ?
thanks

The plugin is giving me the following message:

There is a new version of T(-) Countdown available, but it doesn’t work with your version of PHP. View version 2.3.22 details or learn more about updating PHP.
This resource is provided by your web host, and is specific to your site. For more information, see the official WordPress documentation.

But myPHPAdmin with my webhost is showing: PHP version: 7.2.7

My current plugin version is: Version 2.3.20

So my PHP version should be fine and I should be able to update the plugin?

With the old plugin, as a widget, it would default to show days-hours-mins-secs. And it would fully calculate days (if it were 45 days away, it would say 45 days).

With the new plugin, since only shortcode is available currently, if you omityears & omitmonths, currently it just shows what would otherwise be days (so 45 days ways = 1 month 15 days, and if I omitmonths, it’ll say “15 days”). Is there a way that if you omit years/months, days can adjust to show total days?

(I’m working in a sidebar, which is a fixed width, and only have room for 4 elements: days-hours-mins-secs).

Cheers!

Based on the update, I switched to the new plugin (from the previous jQuery plugin) – however, it would not show up as a widget. I made sure the older jQuery plugin was deleted, I removed the new plugin, reinstalled, still not showing.

Shortcode was available (so it was at least installed in some state). However the formatting didn’t work for my needs (probably a different issue, didn’t see any docs that worked for what I wanted (matching it to the widget-formatting under the old plugin).

Switched back to the old jQuery plugin, it still works fine. No new plugins, themes, changes, etc. Everything has been in an unchanged state for several months.

Running WP 5.2.2, everything is current & updated.

Heya.

Just upgraded from the jQuery plugin to this plugin but I cannot find the option to generate the shortcodes nor is there anything on the Gutenberg or Classic Editor to see where to generate this.

Am I blind or is the option missing?
