 * Installed this plugin in WordPress 3.0.1 and had the following error on the Tools,
   Live Countdown Timer page:
    — unserialized string in (my wordpress install directory)/
   wp-content/plugins/live-countdown-timer/live-countdown-timer.php line 167.
 * It was an easy fix, just open up live-countdown-timer.php with Notepad and search
   for this line:
    $xDBArr = unserialize(get_option(‘live_countdown_timer_Values’));
 * replace the entire line with:
    $xDBArr = get_option(‘live_countdown_timer_Values’);
 * Apparently the data is already unserialized and once you take that out the errors
   disappear and the plugin works both on the sidebar and the settings.
 * Just some info to pass along as the author seems to have vanished and his plugin
   website page is gone and the domain is for sale from what I can tell.

 * Thanks gholt…
 * Now the plugin works.. it’s a little bit sad the developer hasn’t updated this.
   
   The problem has been fixed it only needs to be fixed in the original file..

 * Hmmmm… I just installed it and did not get that error. What I get is …
    Warning:
   mktime() expects parameter 4 to be long, string given in blogs/wp-content/plugins/
   live-countdown-timer/calculateTime.php on line 7
 * It also appears that what downloads and installs (automatic install/upgrade) 
   is not 2.1.0.7 even though that is what wordpress tells me is the newest version.

   Sorry for this huge delay. I fixed the problems. Please update and test now.
   
   If anything else pops out, let me know, I will get right on it! Thanks
