 * Hi,
 * Have some error when running countdown in WP on a Windows PC server.
    It seems
   that the code expect it to be a “real” server/OS with the slashes pointing in
   the “right” direction or something in that category.
 * The first respons below comes from the following line o code:
 *  Line 947: echo ‘<script language=”JavaScript” type=”text/javascript” src=”‘.
   get_bloginfo(‘url’).’/’.str_replace(ABSPATH, ”, dirname(__FILE__)).’/fergcorp_countdownTimer_java.
   js”></script>’;
 * Extract from the response:
    <title>403 Forbidden</title> //————- <p>You don’t
   have permission to access /Sites/Site1_FAS/wp/C:ProgramApacheSoftwareFoundationApache2.2htdocsSitesSite1_FASwpwp-
   contentpluginscountdown-timer /fergcorp_countdownTimer_java.js on this server.
   </p>
 * Extract from the next response:
    <title>403 Forbidden</title> //———— <p>You don’t
   have permission to access /Sites/Site1_FAS/wp/C:ProgramApacheSoftwareFoundationApache2.2htdocsSitesSite1_FASwpwp-
   contentpluginscountdown-timer/webtoolkit.sprintf.js on this server.</p>
 * Could You help me on this one?
 * Regards
    Bengt

 * This has been a known problem for a while and I’m happy to report that I believe
   the bug has finally been quashed in the next release!
 * You can either wait until the official 2.3 release of Countdown Timer or you 
   can grab the latest development version (2.2.9.5) from [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/countdown-timer.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/countdown-timer.zip)
 * Hope that helps!

 * For some reason, when I load the widget into my sidebar on WP 2.7, the countdown
   of seconds does not update dynamically when I view it on the page (ie., it does
   not keep counting down), but does get keep getting updated when I refresh the
   page everytime.
 * But, on the admin side, I can see the seconds ticking on the Example Display.
   Thoughts?
 * Thanks,
    Andy

 * Hi, I saw the reply in topic 178665, “The program has an action that hooks on
   to wp_head and wp_footer”, is there a way around to make it work?
 * I created custom pages and sidebars for my own use. Thanks.

 * andybala:
 * The quickest way to fix the issue is to add the appropriate calls to wp_head()
   and wp_footer().
 * Alternatively, you can also make php calls to fergcorp_countdownTimer_LoadUserScripts()
   in the header and afdn_countdownTimer_js() in footer.
