    Decided to remove the plugin until resolved, but a screenshot of the page showing the incorrect countdown days can be viewed here – https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1272231/christmas%20countdown.jpg

    Hey there..

    I can’t tell exactly what is going on from the screenshot, but it looks as if the countdown date in the script is wrong.

    Are you using the latest version of the plugin? Since last year, it has been updated. Would you try deleting whatever version you have, and reinstalling it, please.

    A quick note about updating to version 2 from a previous version: If you have the countdown in your sidebar and update from a previous version, you will have to visit the Widgets page in your admin and drag the Santa’s Christmas Countdown widget to your side bar.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply. Tried deleting and reinstalling without any joy. Familiar with the widgets settings thanks. I also tried another countdown plugin and that also failed, so I suspect that there is possibly a conflict with another plugin, but i have tried uninstalling the last three that updates and then yours again, but no success. Shame.
    maybe I’ll just borrow your cute Santa picture and stick that in the sidebar. Thanks again.

    Hi, just tried again after wp-optimise said their plugin was causing some issues. But same thing again – now says 3 days to Christmas which may cause panic in the streets 🙂

    Here is your current code v2, just in case their is an error.

    Thanks again

    Check the ‘scripts/scriptfile.js’ and make sure the date is set to Dec. 25th. It’s all I can think of. I have no idea how it could be wrong, but who knows? Check and let me know, we can keep troubleshooting.

    Sure don’t want to cause panic in the streets 😉

    Here’s one you can use in your sidebar if you want to try it out..

    Js script seems fine thanks. But still no luck, and i prefer this Santa to the other one suggested.

    Thanks for trying to fix it
