Thanks for reaching out @jhboska and I’m sorry you’re running into issues. When you submit the form the page shouldn’t reload, so there is likely something else going on here. Would you mind providing a link so we can take a look at the volunteer opportunity?

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

Sure thing @donenright. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for reaching out @cfswain. Unfortunately, email issues like this usually don’t have to do with the plugin, but are more related to your hosting provider and how your organization’s email is set up. I’d recommend trying a few things:

1. Check your spam folders to makes sure the emails didn’t end up there. If they did, make sure to mark them as not spam so the email system starts to recognize that the emails are okay. How you do this depends on what email client you use.
2. If the emails aren’t going to spam, I’d suggest trying to change the email address used in the “From Email Address” field within the settings. You should be able to find it by going to https://www.lacasademaria.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wi-volunteer-management-help-settings#top#email. Preferably, it would be great if you could send from an email address that ends with @lacasademaria.org since that’s the domain used on the site.
3. If that still doesn’t work, I would recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to have them look into what’s happening with the emails when you’re trying to send them. It may help to install the Email Log plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-log/) too which can help you prove to them that the site is sending emails, but for some reason they aren’t reaching their recipients.

I hope that’s helpful. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for reaching out @donenright. Unfortunately, right now the volunteer opportunities can only be managed by administrators on your website. We have had a few requests to offer more granular permissions, so this is something we’re considering for future releases.

If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to let us know. Thanks a ton.

This is an interesting question @thegoot24 and unfortunately, there isn’t an easy way to do this without some coding knowledge. I think the simplest approach without getting into some pretty complex coding would be to use an iFrame like you mentioned. Are you comfortable at all with CSS. If so, every volunteer opportunity uses the single-volunteer_opp class on the body of the page. With that you could add some CSS to your theme to hide the header and footer for volunteer opportunity pages. It’s hard to give you the exact CSS without seeing how your theme is coded, but it might look like this:

.single-volunteer_opp .header,
.single-volunteer_opp .footer {
  display: none;
}

You would have to replace .header and .footer with a class used on your header and footer.

Let me know if that’s something you feel comfortable implementing. If not, it would be great if you could send over a link for us to take a look. Thanks.

Thanks for reaching out Tim. There isn’t currently a way to import volunteers into the system. While I’d love to say it will be included in the future, we actually haven’t heard this request much so I’d imagine it won’t be as high of a priority.

Good luck finding a tool and if you do end up using our plugin don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Thanks for reaching out Kenedy. Unfortunately, there isn’t an easy way to modify the shortcode for what you’re looking for. As the plugin stands today there are two ways I think you can approach this:

1. Manual Links: This is the simpler approach, but also the most time-intensive. Essentially, you would manually create links on each organizaton’s page that linked to their volunteer opportunities. Again, it’s very manual, but would allow you to list only the opportunities you wanted.
2. Adjust the Shortcode with PHP Coding: If you or someone you know was really comfortable with PHP coding, you could use the hooks system built into the plugin to adjust the output of the shortcode. That would give you the ability to display whatever opportunities you wanted on each page in a much more automated way. Obviously, the big downside here is that it would require a web developer to implement.

I hope that’s helpful. Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
