    My client wants to launch their new website during a launch event with guests etc.
    So i want to test what happens for someone watching the countdown reaching 00:00:00…

    What we want is the countdown to end by April 20th at 6:30 pm and then the website to launch automatically WITHOUT having to refresh the page! Is this possible?

    Then, while trying to test this feature i discovered that it is impossible to test it!
    Indeed, if it is now, say 8pm and i want to see what happens if countdown ends at 8:02, i first set it to end at 8:02, then i logout and go check what happens on the timer.
    Well, it seems that no matter what i try or do, the countdown ALLWAYS shows a minimum of 2 more hours to go!! (even if i set it to expire after just 2 minutes!)

    How can this be? I’ve tried everyting, including playing with the time and timezone settings in WordPress general settings. Nothing helps, it always shows at least 2 hours to go…

    Are you using the Pro Version?

    If so in the future open up a ticket at http://www.seedprod.com/members 🙂

    So yes the pro version will auto launch the site when it hits 0. To test make sure you have the time zone set correctly in WordPress under Settings > General

    Then set the count down to expire in 5 minutes. Log out and you’ll see the site auto launch.

    If you need more assistance open a ticket and include your site url and credentials and i can take a look.

    Thanks,
