    Before buying the pro version, how can we deactivate the sharing methods completely? You can delete them all but after saving they are all visible again.

    Thanks for support

    Hi @klausharms,

    this was done so the sharing methods are always there. If all were deleted, the default one would be used.

    I have never had such a request so I’ve not see a need for that. I’ll look into enabling that in the next version.

    For now, the only way to do that would be to change the core code which would be replaced when the it updates to a new version.

    Thanks Igor for the fast reply and good support. The main point is, that we are located in EU (European Union) and we have to follow the rules of the GDPR. So it would be great if the sharing methods could be deactivatet or we can use our own solution as well.

    Greetings

    I deactivated them by hiding them with CSS. I actually use a custom registration plugin and this plugin to create my contests.

    I create a custom user registration form that collects information, upon registration, a user is routed to a “timed hub”, where i route them to hourly contests that are held daily. The ‘hub’, which is actually a div that covers the whole screen with an animated gif that says “Registering User” contains a script that does all that and then routes them to my Simple Giveaways contest for that hour, I added some script and html to hide the entry screen completely and added another covering div that has a “Entering Contest” animated gif, so the user is entered into the contest automatically.

    So, my contest is a custom WordPress registration screen, a nice div covering the screen with gif loading spinners that tell you what is going on, and a thank you page at the end.

    All forms based, no social at all.

    Each of my “entries” is also a new “subscriber on the site. I then use ALL EXPORT and BULK WP to manage those user lists and maintain proper GDPR compliance, etc..

    The benefit is the custom registration screen allows me to create and collect any fields I want, require them, and all. It gives you a fully customizable, forms based entry contest utilizing only the subscriber method with this plugin.

    I do this by using the “Subscribers Only” contest setting. This requires the user to go through the registration forms.

    Manage your contestants by their email address only, as that is the primary key for this plugin with that contest method.

    Hi @klausharms, I wanted to let you know that this is going to be implemented in 2.16.0.

    It’s already there but until I get other features/fixes done that I plan for this version, I can’t let it out 🙂

    Just deleting them all will now be enough.
