I like this plugin too… Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be translated into FRENCH yet!
Anyone know how to "HACKED" to display:
Days = Days
Hours = Hours
Seconds = Seconds
Hello Nitram,
Sorry for the late response. You can always look for a good translator on the internet. If you want to do it yourself, try using the PRO version of Poedit.
Hello,
Is it possible to put "Countdown Timer Ultimate" in a widget to have the counter sidebar?
Thank you for your reply.
Hello,
Yes if you use the wordpress text widget with the shortcode.
