# timer counts down twice before redirection

 * Hi there,
 * Just purchased the premium version. Great timer.
 * I’m having an issue though when using Launch Strtotime. When adding the timer
   as a sidebar widget it’s counting down twice before it redirects to the url I’ve
   set.
 * Here’s the page so you can see the problem:

 * So far I’ve tried the following:
 * 1. embedded the same timer via shortcode in a post – result: it worked fine, 
   exactly as expected it got to zero then redirected to the right place. But I 
   need it to work via the widget.
 * 2. changed the script placement in the widget to ‘inline’ – result: the timer
   counted down once and then redirected to the wrong url; it just added /url on
   to the existing url which of course doesn’t exist: 404.
 * Any help much appreciated.
    Cheers

 * If your plugin has not informed you already, there is an update that solves this
   issue.
    update to t-countdown-control v1.4.2 and let us know if that solves the
   issue for you.
