Have you tried maybe putting it in the header?
Hi @unstat1c, I am working on an update 2.21.0 that will fix that issue.
Hi @sofrlowi,
that should not happen at all, especially if that person did not win.
The emails to winners are sent when you decide so as for the plugin itself, they won’t send anything like that in the future.
The emails to winners can be seen on the giveaway edit page where you can see who are the winners. This plugin relies on the WordPress wp_mail function. If you’re using an emailing service such as Mailgun or similar, this could be something to do with that.
How was the giveaway setup? Does it have the “Winners notified” status (it won’t send emails otherwise)? Are you using a plugin for sending emails on your site?
Are you using the premium version so maybe the “Non-winner” email could be possibly sent to them? Were the winners of that giveaway previously notified?The only thing that can set up the giveaway to send such emails automatically, is the premium “automatic” feature, but that email would be sent only if they were selected as winners. I am interested in finding out what went wrong here.

In reply to: [Change Prices with Time for WooCommerce] time dependent product variationHi @hskokanek,
the same options as for the simple product are available for Variations in the premium version of this plugin.
Hi @stzlata, putting your suggestion in the feature backlog for the plugin so I can tackle that in future updates 🙂
Hi @stzlata,
to make those options lowercase, you can use pase this code into Giveaways > Settings > Scripts > Header
<style> .giveasap_sharing li a, .sg-extra-action .sg-extra-action-title { text-transform: none; } </style>As for the accordion part, I’ve created that so there can be a description on how to perform an action as such. I agree that for just a link click, there could be just a simple button that would do everything. That I might look into enabling.
As for other future actions, the expanded content could have the Facebook page widget and other things. I plan to have at least one new action such as liking the Facebook page or Twitter in the next major update (2.21.0).
Although, liking a Facebook page to gain points is prohibited by Facebook due to their Policy change. But I’ll look into making that possible by using description to explain what to do and then “check”. https://www.shortstack.com/blog/facebook-competition-rules/
That is a bit complex, so it might take more than a few weeks to create it.
Hi @stzlata,
I’ve installed their official plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailgun/ and tried it with SMTP and API settings. Both are sending the emails.
I had only trouble receiving emails to hotmail accounts, gmail and others were working nicely. There happen to be an issue when trying to track emails so they block those apparently on their servers. Although Mailgun did send those emails, they were only blocked by Hotmail.
But other than that, everything worked fine for me. So this plugin, since using the regular WordPress function, does operate nicely.
As I’ve said, it might be due to how you configured the MailChimp integration also. You can send me a screenshot of the MailChimp integration (without the api key) and the Giveaway settings here or on wpsimplegiveaways.com/support so I can check that out if there is anything wrong.
Hi @stzlata,
is that on the admin side or on the front side? As on the front side, this might be due to a style property which is easily fixable.
I just need to know so I can tackle it in the next minor update.
Hi @stzlata,
as this is the support forum for the free version, we can continue discussing this on wpsimplegiveaways.com/support.
This plugin uses the WordPress mail function, so if any other plugin extends that function, it might be due to that. I will definitely check how it works with the Mailgun plugin and see if there are any conflicts.
Which email is not going out? It would be helpful to know which one as there are several. People have been experiencing such scenarios when they accidentally checked to disable the Default Email in the MailChimp integration settings. If there is no MailChimp Welcome email set and the default one (from Giveaway) is disabled, there will be no email going out to the subscribers.
What do you mean by refreshing never working? What are you trying to refresh? I will check the copying of the default form. This worked a few days ago when I last checked.
As it is now 3 am on my side, I’ll check everything and get back to you in several hours after I wake up.
P.S. Found the issue with the default form not copying. I’ll have a minor version up and ready for update once I wake up, fix it and test it. Thank you for noticing!

In reply to: [Live Scores for SportsPress] PHP Upstream time outHi @reisetroll,
I have not yet experienced such scenario but I’ll do some more tests on it to make sure I get to it.
Hi @jclague89,
that’s how it worked before but after several requests to redirect it to the shortcode page, I’ve implemented that.
I’ll create a shortcode option to redirect to the giveaway page or where the shortcode is so both can be used.

In reply to: [Raise Prices with Sales for WooCommerce] Price is updated too soonHi @mvek, sorry for such a late response.
This is more of an issue with WooCommerce and how they handle the sales. This plugins hooks when WooCommerce records the sale and also when order is completed to check if the product should be updated or not.
Since WooCommerce is doing the sale updates, I can’t be of help here with that.
Maybe, the Wire Transfer gateway have a bit of a different flow when processing orders to record the sales.
Hi @anikacsmedia,
the countdown part is a bit tricky (for now), but you can copy the code from here http://keith-wood.name/js/jquery.countdown-de.js to Giveaways > Settings > Scripts (in the footer) and it should translate the countdown text.
For other parts, you could use translation plugins. This plugin does not have a German translation contribution so for now, only translation plugins that can help with translating such strings can help. Maybe something like this https://wordpress.org/plugins/gettext-override-translations/ (I’ve not tried it).
The layout of the giveaway can be changed only by custom coding a new template (the premium version has a few pre-defined templates). To delete or edit fields, you can use the Giveaway > Settings > Form.

In reply to: [Live Scores for SportsPress] PHP Upstream time outHi @reisetroll,
I’ll have to test it myself. While investigating, it seems that’s a NGINX error so I’ll try to setup a NGINX server and run it.
Best,
IgorHi @jclague89,
that one would require a notification from PayPal that it was paid. Of course, unless such notification is received, the entry would not be added.
This is a complex thing to do, not in receiving the payment, but to prepare everything for it such as sending invoices for payments and such. It is doable, but it might require more time to implement.
I’ve put it to my list of features and marked it as high priority.
