• Hi There,

    I’m trying to setup a euro 2020 pool on my WordPress site (newbie @wordpress).
    When i get the pool working en updatet (schedule is now date 2020) i want users to enter the pool and fill in the forms.
    Also i want to add a blog for the pool-user, so they can talk about the matches etc.

    For now i’m geting to know how the plugin and WordPress works, if you have any tips or remarks, let me know!
    thanks in advance!

    The plugin will create the default pages needed for the pool for you. Just add them to your navigation (Appearance in the admin) if the theme does not automatically show them.

    Tip: check the plugin settings for the pages that are linked. If you accidentally deleted a page, just create a new one via the Pages admin (can be an empty page) and then link it again in the plugin options.

    Tip 2: create 1 or 2 test users, fill in the predictions and then change some of the first matches back to 2020 (only change the year). Then you can test what happens when a match is closed and the scores are calculated.

    – with navigation you mean, the football pool and its pages on the left in de admin?

    – i did create 3 test users but can’t fill the predictions, there is nog input field in the box (containing contry and flag etc)

    – change back tot 2020, all of the date’s are in 2020 this is the old schedule, i must change all of the date’s or do i have a old version? https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uefa-euro-2020/

    tommorow a new day for getting wordpress and football to do wat i want 🙂

    No, I’m referring to the navigation in your site. Some themes do not automatically add the pages to the menu, making it hard to reach them from the site. But if you can access the prediction form, I guess you’re okay.

    – i did create 3 test users but can’t fill the predictions, there is nog input field in the box (containing contry and flag etc)

    That’s because the matches are in the past. The plugin won’t allow you to change your prediction when a match has started.

    – change back tot 2020, all of the date’s are in 2020 this is the old schedule, i must change all of the date’s or do i have a old version? https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uefa-euro-2020/

    First make sure all dates are correct (so the new schedule for 2021). Then you can fill in the predictions. But if you also want to test the ranking, then you can ‘fake’ some matches to be closed by putting them in the past again. Because the calculation for the ranking needs matches to be finished (no longer possible to change the prediction by a pool player).

    Hope this helps.

    Hi there,

    Is there a dutch version of the help in football?

    No, sorry. That would be too much work to maintain.
