    Hi,
    I just tried this plugin out but immediately got this error upon activating it:

    PHP Notice:  Function map_meta_cap was called <strong>incorrectly</strong>. The post type wcct_countdown is not registered, so it may not be reliable to check the capability "edit_post" against a post of that type. Please see <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/">Debugging in WordPress</a> for more information. (This message was added in version 4.4.0.) in /var/www/xxx/public/wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5831

    Seems this error was first reported over a year ago but unfortunately still exists:
