How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    6.9.1 — The hurrytimer display works perfectly with 6.8.3 but not with later versions thus far. I do not believe this is a defect with the plugin, since 6.9.1 also does not handle horizontal navigation elements properly. This topic was modified 5 months ago by idahobaker. Reason: WP core change This topic was modified 5 months ago by idahobaker.

    I’m so impressed with this Hurry Timer plugin! I used it over Christmas for my season sale countdown and then again on New Year’s Day for a flash sale countdown, and it worked like a bomb! I definitely will use it again. Thanks guys! This topic was modified 6 months, 2 weeks ago by Christina Rohl.
