 * Hey guys,
    Just wanted to tell you about this error that appears at the tab “
   Give from countdown”. I removed the plugin for now, I’ll install it again in 
   the future, hopefully once it gets more stable. Thank you for the effort!

 * Hi there,
 * I believe this was due to a PHP incompatibility, but that has since been resolved.
   Please update to the latest version.
 * Thanks!
