In reply to: [GiveWP - Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform] Button Colour ChangeHi, @matty007.
I accessed your website and I noticed you could customize the button color and it’s working now.
If you need further assistance, drop us a message and we will be happy to help.
Thanks for using GiveWP! Have a great day.
Hi, @rostzem.
Glad you reached out.
The GiveWP plugin was designed in a way that we need a positive amount for the donation to be completed. That’s why you cannot set it to $0.
However, with some custom code, you can set it to $0. I have a code snippet that I can share with you here https://gist.github.com/matheuswd/fc466e133852914c06ad59fc82dbc5d2. It will keep the amount field blank and focus on it.
If you need assistance implementing custom PHP code on your website, we have this guide: https://givewp.com/documentation/resources/adding-custom-functions-to-your-wordpress-website/.
Please note that this code snippet is provided as an example of how you can extend GiveWP with code. It’s up to you to implement and customize to your liking. We cannot provide support for custom code on your website, only the code that we create and distribute.
Thanks for using GiveWP! Have a great day.
Hi, @francescamay.
Glad you reached out.
You need to make sure that your stats are not cached. If you deleted your information and it is still showing up in your stats, there are chances you need to refresh the stats.
To do so, navigate to donations > tools > data > recount stats and run the recalculate options available for you.
Please let us know if you have further questions or need additional assistance!

Hi, @nerdymind.
Glad you reached out. I can help you fix this error.
We released a new version of GiveWP and Form Field Manager that fixes the issue you are facing (GiveWP 2.29.0 and Form Field Manager 2.1.0).
First, if your site is broken, I would restore a backup of your site so you are up and running again.
Then, I’d deactivate the Form Field Manager add-on, update GiveWP, update the Form Field Manager add-on, and then activate it again.
To fix it, you need to update both GiveWP and the Form Field Manager add-on. In this case, you can click on Plugins > Installed Plugins and click to update your plugins. If you do not see an update for it, it’s just the cache. You can navigate to Dashboard > Updates and click on Check Again. It will check for the updates and clear the cache and you’ll be able to update the plugin.
Before taking any steps for troubleshooting or updating, I highly recommend taking a good backup of the site you can confidently restore from. Having a backup of your site is essential to a solid workflow, and will allow you to restore to a previous version of the site if you run into any issues. You can read more about our top recommendations for taking a backup here: https://givewp.com/backup-for-faster-troubleshooting/
Your success with online donations is our number one priority. Looking forward to helping you get to the bottom of this!
Hi, @stronganchortech.
Glad you reached out. I can help you with that.
For a bit of context, the latest GiveWP update included some database upgrades in order to provide new features right now and for the future, but some hosts prevented the upgrade from being completed correctly.
The first thing you need to check right now is your MySQL version (or MariaDB version, depending on the server you are using). You need to contact your host ask and them to update your MySQL version to 5.7 or later, otherwise, GiveWP will not be able to create the needed database tables.
After that, do the following:
- First, I’d recommend taking a backup of the site that you can confidently restore from. Here’s an article we wrote that explains more clearly how to do that: https://givewp.com/backup-for-faster-troubleshooting/
- Next, enable Advanced Database Updates in Donations > Settings > Advanced.
- Next, run the update in Donations -> Tools -> Data, and based on the Run Order columns, re-run the create_revenue_table update. If you notice any pending updates, run them as well.
- Check the logs at Donations > Tools > Logs for errors. If there are any errors, pass those along here.
- Last, navigate back to Donations > Settings > Advanced and disable Advanced Database Updates.
Please let us know if you have further questions on this or need any additional assistance!
Hi, @trashcashph.
Glad you reached out.
You can find a similar setting for this by navigating to Donations > Settings > All Forms and then selecting “edit” under the Multi-Step form you’d like to update. Click the left-hand menu option titled “Donation Options”, and scroll down just a bit to see the Donation Levels. This is where you can add text:

In the Multi-Step and Classic templates, the text you enter will display as a tooltip, it won’t replace the numerical value. It’ll look something like this:

We are collecting feedback about the possibility of adding text to donation levels. I’ve added you as a voter for it here https://feedback.givewp.com/feature-requests/p/donation-levels-should-support-textdescriptionsmulti-step-classic-form.
We are actively tracking user feedback to understand further the needs you all have. You can use the link to check in for updates or to provide additional details of your own. I would encourage you to comment on that post about the impact this would have on your organization. Information like that is always helpful for our teams to see.
I’ve also linked your ticket internally, so if this feature request is developed, we can reach back out to update you.Give the post above a look, and let me know if there are any additional details you would like for me to add. I want to ensure your need is as accurately reflected as possible, and I’m happy to include an internal note to our teams with any specific information you would like them to have.
Thanks for using GiveWP! Have a great day.
Hi, @mdlcfrs.
Glad you reached out.
Every time a donation is made on your site – or attempted, GiveWP creates a new entry on the logs section on the dashboard that gives us further information on what is happening. Can you send me logs for when you try to make a donation and get the errors below? You can find the logs under Donations > Tools > Logs.
Looking forward to helping you get to the bottom of this!
Hi, @ghouse3
Glad you reached out. I can help you sort out this issue.
When I accessed your website and the donor dashboard, I noticed you have a jQueryParams error on the console.

Divi’s “Defer jQuery And jQuery Migrate” and “Smooth Scrolling” options can break the Multi-Step and Classic Form templates and throw the “jqueryParams is not defined” error in the console. Let’s start by disabling those options and see if that helps clear things up. In case you find it helpful, my colleague created a fantastic screencast for how to do that: https://somup.com/c3jw0zUop
In addition to that, in the vast majority of cases, the spinning wheel at the end is also a result of the cache. If you’re not familiar with caching, it’s a method of saving server resources by storing copies of a page or site, so that the next visitor’s visit doesn’t trigger a call to the server at all, they just get the copy that was saved.
We put together this deep dive into what caching is and how it can cause problems: https://givewp.com/documentation/resources/caching/
Caching works really well for speeding up sites, but when a saved copy of the site has sensitive information in it (like donor info) it’s important that GiveWP not share that with the next visitor.
If GiveWP is not convinced that the browser requesting the data is the correct one, it defaults to not showing the data.
In order to verify that my hypothesis is right here, we need to exclude any asset loaded by GiveWP from the cache.
Caching is handled differently on various sites and web hosts, and most of them allow for excluding specific URLs or parts of URLs from caching. At the very least, you should exclude the following slugs from caching:
/donations/
/donation-confirmation/
/donor-dashboard/Also, the following query strings:
give-embed=donor-dashboard
giveDonationFormInIframe=1Your host or the caching plugin/solution you are using can help with that. Some of them may require what’s called a “wildcard” like /donations/* to capture all subdirectories under the /donations/ folder.
You can also temporarily disable caching on the site to confirm that the uncached site isn’t showing the problem.
While fine-tuning cache falls outside the scope of the support we’re able to provide, your success with online donations is our number one priority, and we’re happy to provide any tips.
Please let us know if you have further questions or need additional assistance!
Hi, @symen.
Glad you reached out.
Offline Donations allows your donor to show that they are intending to send you a payment “Offline”. This might mean a physical check in the mail. It might mean canned goods that they’ll drop off at your location. It could mean a lot of things, but it doesn’t mean a credit card payment.
And since we count these donations for goals and to keep forms updated, we need to know if the donation was completed or not, and the only way for GiveWP to know that is if someone changes the status of the donations. That’s why we do not have a way to automatically set it to completed.
Although we do not have this feature out of the box, it would be exciting and valuable to understand how it would work for you and improve your workflow, so the product development team has some insights into how it would behave.
Also, is there any workaround that you are using? It would be good to hear from you about that too, and what this feature would allow you to do. All ideas are appreciated, and I’m happy to share your insights with the product development team so that they can discuss the feasibility of this feature.
I hope it clarifies, and looking forward to hearing back from you!
Hi, @danielkiss.
Glad you reached out. That’s certainly not what we want!
You’ve uncovered an edge-case issue that we are investigating: https://feedback.givewp.com/bug-reports/p/donation-forms-should-not-unexpectedly-duplicate-themselves.
We are actively tracking user experiences to further understand the issue, and right now we are testing to see if this could be related to a possible plugin or theme conflict. You can use the link to check in for updates or to provide additional details of your own.
I’ve also linked your ticket internally, so when the issue is resolved we can reach back out to update you. We’ll either have a resolution for you, or we’ll know more about what our developers need to do to fix the issue and have more details to share with you about our investigation.
Here’s what I just tried to do to replicate that issue, and I am not seeing it happen:
- I created some forms
- Made some donations
- Switched views
If you can give me some steps to replicate it, I’m happy to dig deeper into it.
Workaround!
A workaround is to use the legacy view – which I’ve activated on your site. As our teams investigate things, if another workaround or option is discovered, they will post it to the link above, so you’ll want to keep an eye on that.
While we work on a fix, feel free to message us if you have further questions or need any additional assistance!
Hi, @faruqijeniri.
Glad you reached out. Let’s get this fixed!
The first thing I need you to check is the permalinks. From what I can see in the email you sent us is that you are likely using plain permalinks. Can you choose another one, such as a post name?
You can edit your permalinks under settings > permalinks.
After that, let me know how it goes. If it still doesn’t work, I’ll need some more information from you.
Also, please send along your System Info.
Navigate to Donations –> Tools –> System Info (tab) and click the button to “Get System Report” and copy/paste that in your reply here.
That will give me some more context to be able to help.

In reply to: [GiveWP - Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform] CSS Wide Donation formHi, @taxick.
Glad you reached out.
I accessed your website and I could see the issue. However, as long as I resize the page, the form gets bigger and fits the page.
We’ve seen this issue in the past and it was related to some confusion the theme was doing. Can you switch to a default theme like Twenty twenty and check if the issue persists?
If the issue is gone, then we will need to find out what your current theme is doing that is breaking GiveWP or preventing it from loading and resizing correctly.
Your success with online donations is our number one priority. Looking forward to helping you get to the bottom of this!
Hi, @biblegamesproject.
I’m glad to hear that!
We’d love to get a public review about what you think of GiveWP both from a product standpoint as well as how it is to deal with our team. Here are some options:
