 * Hi,
 * is this plugin abandoned? The last update was made over a year ago (09/04/2024).
   
   Such a long time without an update suggests that it is no longer safe or recommendable
   to use.
 * Can you give a statement on the status of the plugin please.
 * Kind regards,
   Robert

 * Hello there,
 * Thank you for reaching out and for sharing your concern regarding the Countdown
   Block plugin.
 * You are correct that the plugin has not received an update in some time, and 
   we completely understand your caution about using it. At the moment, there are
   no active development plans for standalone updates to the Countdown Block plugin.
 * In the meantime, we highly recommend using our **Essential Blocks** plugin, which
   not only includes the **Countdown block** but also offers a wide collection of
   other advanced and regularly updated blocks. This way, you can access the same
   functionality along with many additional features in one reliable plugin.
 * You can find Essential Blocks here:
   👉 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/essential-blocks/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/essential-blocks/)
 * We truly appreciate your interest, and we’re confident Essential Blocks will 
   be a more sustainable and future-proof solution for your website.
 * Best regards,

 * Hi,
 * thank you for the reply and the clarification. It’s a shame that there are no
   more updates for the individual block and that it can only be used in a bundle
   with the Essential Block plugin. But I understand that approach.
 * Best regards,
   Robert
