@talha6248 This may be of use to you, I did something similar. In my case I wanted to show the donation goals and current donation level in local currencies for people visiting our other country sites.

I wrote a small function to query google API and get the exchange rates. One thing to note though is to better do this in a cron once a day or so and save it locally in the DB. Querying API for every conversion slowed down the site drastically, so I don’t recommend that.

Alternatively, if you could do it over javascript, so it runs in the users browser only, then it should be fine to use API. I assume that’s what you want to do anyways, as it sounds you just want to convert some input field.

Anyways, for my use, since I just wanted 2 additional currencies and processing done server side, I just misused the options table to store currencies 😉

You could do something like this:

function tow_cron_activation() {
        if (! wp_next_scheduled ( 'get_currency_exchange_rate' )) {
                wp_schedule_event(time(), 'daily', 'get_currency_exchange_rate');
        }
}
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'tow_cron_activation');

function tow_cron_deactivation() {
        wp_clear_scheduled_hook('get_currency_exchange_rate' );
}
register_deactivation_hook(__FILE__, 'tow_cron_deactivation');

function tow_exchange_rate() {
        $prev_rate=get_option('tow_donation_exchange_rate');
        $rate=array('timestamp' => time() );

        foreach( array("AUD", "INR") as $currCode) {
                $get = file_get_contents("https://finance.google.com/finance/converter?a=1&from=USD&to=".urlencode($currCode));
                $get = explode("<span class=bld>",$get);
                $get = explode("</span>",$get[1]);
                $new_rate = preg_replace("/[^0-9\.]/", null, $get[0]);
                if (! $new_rate > 0) {
                        $new_rate = $prev_rate['INR'];
                }
                $rate[$currCode]=$new_rate;
        }
       update_option('tow_donation_exchange_rate', $rate);

}
add_action('get_currency_exchange_rate', 'tow_exchange_rate');

Then you just would need to do something like get_option(‘tow_donation_exchange_rate’); to get the rates.

It’s a quick hack, but does the job.

@dlocc I did some more digging, I think this may not be multisite related, but happened after upgrade to Give 2.0.

I just coincidently noticed this since I’m converting to multisite for which I used my production setup and DB as base. (Otherwise your steps are correct)

Checking on my production system, which is still single install, I see that it has the same problem. Looking at the dates of the last correct image upload, it is just the day before I updated to give 2.0.

Hence I suspect it must have been the update to give 2.0. On my production I’m now running give 2.0.2, which still has this issue. On my stage I’m running give 2.0.4 which also exhibits this behavior.

I’m not sure how to solve this now…

I had the same issue. UM 2.0 wasn’t transferring the settings from UM 1.x over correctly. They fixed it last week in the latest version. I had to revert back to my DB backup of before upgrade to UM2.0 and then install the latest UM2.0 version you can get here: https://github.com/ultimatemember/ultimatemember/tree/release/2.0
Basically the whole content restriction stuff wasn’t working if you were upgrading from UM 1.x
