Thanks for reaching out @fendervr and for the kind words about the plugin. We’re happy to hear it’s useful.

Unfortunately, the two features you mentioned aren’t currently included in the plugin. We do have a system for noting feature requests though, so I’ll make sure to include both of your suggestions.

For the ability to copy the opportunities, it might be worth checking out other plugins such as the Yoast Duplicate Post plugin. That might give you the functionality you need there.

For “publishing the list of volunteers in a grid or calendar mode”, can you tell me more about how this feature would be helpful? I’d love to get more details so I can include them in the feature request.

Thanks again for reaching out. Have a good one!

Since we haven’t heard from you in a little while I’m going to mark this as resolved. Don’t hesitate to reach out if any questions come up in the future!

I’m happy to hear it resolved itself. Don’t hesitate at all to reach out if it comes up again. We’re always around to help!

Thanks a ton for the feedback @morgan9483! So we know for any future planning, can you give us some more details on how you would use the export feature?

I’m happy to help @marc19a. This situation is always difficult to troubleshoot since it could be caused by so many variables. The steps you already took, especially resaving the permalinks, would have made the top of my list of suggestions.

Have you tried deactivating every plugin except for Wired Impact Volunteer Management? Once you do that try resaving the permalinks again and see if that fixes the issue. If it does, then I’d recommend reactivating the plugins one at a time to find the one causing the problem.

Let us know how it goes. We’re happy to help you troubleshoot further if that doesn’t work.

Since we haven’t heard from you in a little while I’m going to mark this as resolved. Of course, if you have any other questions don’t hesitate to let us know!

I’m happy to help out Brian. The change is fairly straightforward, but it will require a little bit of code within your theme. To change the “Find Out More” link text, open the functions.php file within your theme and add this code to the end:

/**
  * Update the read more text that displays for volunteer opportunities.
  *
  * By default, the link reads as "Find Out More".
  *
  * @param string $more_text The default read more text.
  * @return string The updated read more text.
  */
function wi_update_volunteer_opp_read_more_text( $more_text ) {

  return 'Click to Sign Up';
}
add_filter( 'wivm_read_more_text', 'wi_update_volunteer_opp_read_more_text' );

You can change the text that reads “Click to Sign Up” to whatever you’d like to display for those links. Keep in mind that the text will be used for both one-time and flexible volunteer opportunities.

Let us know if you have any other questions. We’re happy to help.

I’m happy to help @w-sky. The good news is that if you go through the process of translating the plugin to work in German, you’ll be able to translate the date and time formats as well. It should work exactly the same as the process to translate words and phrases.

For example, take a look at this list of strings that hasn’t been translated into German yet. In that list you’ll see strings such as “D, F j, Y”. If you double click that string, you’ll see a comment noting that it corresponds to PHP date formatting. You can translate it to use any of the format options from https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php so it matches what’s preferred in Germany.

We’re not experts in WordPress translation, but we have had others outside of the United States work through this before. If you have any questions just let us know. We’re happy to help out.
