Frequently asked questions.
I am getting a “Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: datetimezone”
Versions 1.2+ of the plugin requires at least version 5.x of PHP. To run the plugin with PHP4 servers, design the widget directly in mycountdown.org/getwidget , take the widget code and paste it into a WordPress “Text” widget on the sidebar. Alternatively use version 1.1 of the plugin, which does not have timezone support.
My wordpress is older than 2.8
Download version 1.3 of the countdown-clock, which is compatible with 1.5 or higher
