Thanks so much for the great review Dennis!

We ran into this problem on our site, and I decided to create a simple plugin that allows you to specify whether the logo you upload is a retina version of your logo. You can download it from https://github.com/Studio164a/retina-logo/archive/master.zip

After installing it you would need to go to the Customizer and get to the Site Identity tab (as per usual with Make), then upload your photo and check the box to say it’s the retina version. This is much lighter weight than the Retina plugin Make suggests (I’ve never had much luck with that plugin).

@chrishannon I think your problem might be slightly different, which is that on smaller screens, Make displays the logo at 100% width (which seems like a bug to me). You can correct that behaviour with a bit of CSS:

img.custom-logo {
    width: auto;
}

You could add that using a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/ (or Jetpack, if you have that enabled already).

Cheers,
Eric

Hi shailendrakumrawat,

This is an issue with the Volunteer theme. Please get in touch with the theme developers and let them know about the issue.

If you’re still having problems, please start a new forum thread.

Cheers,

1. In the Reach theme, I want to make it easier to go back to the homepage. So far it seems like I have to call the homepage “Home” and add it to the menu. This results in the word “Home’ being displayed prominently on the homepage, instead of a catchier title. A catchier title, however, would look strange in the menu

You can customize the text that is displayed in the menu. When you are editing the menu, just click on the little arrow to expand the menu item and then change the Navigation Label field to whatever you would prefer.

2. I would like to be able to make the campaign page my homepage on another theme. But the charitable plugin on my old theme (Flexible) only operated as a post, and I was unable to make the fundraising campaign my homepage. How do you make the campaign a single page on another theme?

I saw you posted this question in the documentation on the Reach demo, so I just responded there: http://demo.wpcharitable.com/reach/documentation/setting-up-the-homepage/#comment-89

Also.. Why does the homepage say “Dashboard” without my having selected that anywhere?

This was a bug in an earlier version of Reach. You can download the latest version from https://wordpress.org/themes/download/reach.1.0.1.zip

1.3.6 was just released, and it fixes the problem that caused this for you.

Basically, if you didn’t enable custom donations and didn’t set any suggested donations, people cannot set a donation amount before proceeding to PayPal. As a result, the donation amount is $0 according to Charitable.

In 1.3.6, custom donations are automatically enabled and cannot be turned off unless you create suggested donations, so this problem will be avoided. To fix, just update your campaign after upgrading to 1.3.6.

Cheers,
Eric

Love the review Corey! Looking forward to seeing what you and Reach the Children achieve with Charitable Ambassadors.

Hi etiennejcharles,

Could you send me a link to your site so I can try to see what the issue might be?

Hi waynep16,

Right now, the only way to manually add donations is through the Offline payment gateway. So to add this donation, go to Charitable > Settings > Payment Gateways and temporarily enable the Offline donation gateway.

After doing that, go to your website and create a donation for the amount, choosing the offline payment option.

Once you have made the donation, you can turn off the Offline gateway if you don’t want to use it, and you can go to Charitable > Donations to mark the donation as Paid (by default, offline donations are considered “Pending” until they are confirmed as paid).

This is definitely something we want to improve in the future, probably by adding an extension to be able to add donations manually from the dashboard.

Cheers,
Eric
