Hi @ozgurgedikli, this plugin is using AJAX to get new data every 60 seconds. I will definitely check the error in the image.

As for the CPU/RAM accusation, could you try updating the update frequency to 90 or even 120 seconds and see if that helps?

Currently, the code uses WordPress caching system called Transients so such effects should be mitigated by it.

Are you on a shared hosting? If so, it might be due to other people visiting sites that are on the same server.

Thanks for letting me know.

Hi @lucabarbetti, I am taking a look at their API.

How would you like to use that? Only for listing them on the site? Not also importing them to manage their data separately on your site?

Hi @lboon, there should be a taxonomy “Breed” which is intended to be used for those type of searches such as “Dog”, “Cat” and all sub-breeds such as Dog > Maltese.

Your current needs can’t be done out of the box. The first issue could be solved by fixing the taxonomy slug to be used for showing only dogs.

This can be done filtering to https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/pre_get_posts/ and then using inside of the hooked function something like this:

if ( ! $query->is_main_query() ) {
  return;
}

if ( ! is_post_type_archive( 'pets' ) ) {
  return;
}

$query->set( 'tax_query', array(array('taxonomy' => 'breed', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms'=>'dog')));

I have started working on a new update and will look into creating a shortcode that you can use to narrow the search/list down to taxonomies.

Hi @redwolfcy,

have you tried copying the template with the same file name under your theme’s folder inside of folder sportspress? This path should be something like: your_theme_name_here/sportspress/live-commentary__premium_only.php?

The twitter feed and such are already on my features that I wanted to implement but have yet to tackle that. That’s a good idea as well!

Hi @teckwolf, for now, only placeholders that are listed under Giveaways > Settings > Email (under the email field) are available.

I will see to add more in the next update.

Hi @platanon, could you create a new support ticket here as this one was resolved.

You can also state in the support ticket what are you using for sending emails (plugin, service)? Have you worked on the template and if you share a screenshot of how the text of the email is looking could help.

Hi @rspiv, thanks for suggesting that.

The time when someone subscribed is already saved in the table so showing the date should be easy to add.

As for the IP, I’ll see to add that as well. This could be a big “NO” for someone due to GDPR, but I’ll add it as an option so anyone who wants to (or can) use it, can easily enable it.

Hi @rspiv,

the giveaway layout is as simple as possible but I do agree it should be much better on mobile. Giveaway image is below the text and such so if they are bigger, it could take a lot of screen as well, so I’ll see if anything can be done here.

Maybe, you’ll be better with shortcode since you can then define your page how you want and use shortcode as a simpler/shorter giveaway.

Here you can see (you’ve probably already seen it) a shortcode example: https://www.wpsimplegiveaways.com/giveaway-shortcode/ where there are 2 images.

There are also a lot of settings when using the shortcode that can be viewed here: https://wpsimplegiveaways.com/docs/general/shortcodes/

If you’re using Gutenberg, then the Giveaway block will have the same options available in Block options.

There are not much layout options in the premium as well except the different templates and the Elementor integration where you can use parts of the Giveaway and build your own Giveaway page using Elementor (https://wpsimplegiveaways.com/docs/integrations/elementor/).

I would recommend to try the shortcode approach first 🙂

As for the Evergreen type, it’s a giveaway type that will let everyone in a giveaway to win once they get to the defined entries (score). That means that by using extra actions and also inviting others to the giveaway, they will get the extra entries and thus if they win, it also means that they have given you more subscribers to the giveaway.

As for what you want here, it’s a different type of giveaway. There is an option to “clone a giveaway” so most of the settings are still there but the subscribers are not copied to that giveaway. This could be added as an option in the settings so when cloning a giveaway, subscribers will also remain there. So you can always clone the same giveaway having all subscribers there as well. I’ll see to add that in the next update.

Sorry for the lack of documentation. I have started writing the documentation but still there is plenty to cover 😀 Since I am the only one working on it, it takes some time. But happy to answer all the questions until those are answered within the documentation 🙂
