Hi @rmniemela,

I’m so sorry for the incorrect docs regarding the sandbox tool. In version 1.5.4 we actually removed that tool from the core plugin and added it as a separate plugin you can install. It can be downloaded from https://github.com/Charitable/Charitable-PayPal-Tester

I’ll be sure to update those docs too. 🙂

With your pending donations, do you see any details about them if you click through to their details page in the WordPress dashboard? In particular, what do you see in the Donation Log?

Cheers,
Eric

Thanks for the review @doromaha!

Hi @guruseva,

There isn’t a setting that will do this, but you can do it with a bit of code:

https://github.com/Charitable/library/blob/master/campaigns/remove-stats-summary-block.php

See https://github.com/Charitable/library#how-to-use-the-code-snippets for information about how to implement this.

Cheers,
Eric

Hi @rmniemela,

Hmm, it looks like we’re currently setting a max-width of 300px on all textareas. I’m not sure why; will have to investigate that further.

In the meantime, you can overcome this problem with this:

textarea {
    max-width: 100%;
}

Cheers,
Eric

Hi @rmniemela,

Here are a couple snippets of code you can use to add these buttons:

– Donate button: https://github.com/Charitable/library/blob/master/themes/reach/add-donate-button-to-campaign-loop.php
– Read more link: https://github.com/Charitable/library/blob/master/themes/reach/add-read-more-button-to-campaign-loop.php

These can just be added to the functions.php file in your child theme.

Cheers,
Eric

@j2dw What about the following?

Charitable is different. We won’t charge you any transaction fees for the donations you receive through Charitable, and you can use the core Charitable for free, forever. We support Charitable’s development through extension purchases, which add extra features.

From your perspective would that have made it clearer to you that not everything is free? Even though there are some paid features (like Stripe), I do want to make it clear that Charitable itself is free. The vast majority of people find the functionality included in the core plugin enough for their needs.

Cheers,
Eric

Thanks for the reply @j2dw! I understand how that bit can be confusing. When we talk about transaction fees, were referring to the per-donation fees that many hosted fundraising solutions charge. e.g. 8% of every donation. But I can definitely see how that might feel misleading.

Can you suggest any way we can phrase that better?

Cheers,
Eric

p.s. By the way, if you’re looking for a free Stripe plugin, have you tried https://wordpress.org/plugins/stripe/? It’s not a donation plugin per sé but allows you to easily accept payments.
