Generally, for changing text throughout the plugin, we recommend a translation tool like Loco-Translate or using Poedit to provide your site with local translations of the plugin.

But if you just need to change one or two strings, this filter will do that for you:

function my_give_text_switcher( $translations, $text, $domain ) {

	if ( $domain == 'give' && $text == 'First Name' ) {
		$translations = __( 'Name', 'give' );
	}
	return $translations;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'my_give_text_switcher', 10, 3 );

If you need guidance implementing custom PHP functions on your website, we have this guide here: https://givewp.com/documentation/resources/adding-custom-functions-to-your-wordpress-website/

Thanks!

Currently the only way to hide that is with CSS, like this:

#give-last-name-wrap.form-row-last {
	display: none;
}

#give-first-name-wrap.form-row-first {
    float: none;
	width: 100%;
}

Add that to the bottom of your theme’s styles.css file; or go to “Appearance > Customize > Custom CSS” and add it to the bottom of that setting. For more detailed info on adding custom CSS, see here: https://givewp.com/documentation/resources/handling-custom-css-in-wordpress/

Hi there!

Thanks for the update. So, let me summarize what your new work tells us:

1. Because you can see the donor names of the OLD donations on the test site AFTER rolling back Give, that confirms that those donations STILL have the old data in the old place instead of the new place in the database

2. Because on the live site, with Give updated, you CANNOT see the donor information, we know that the old data was not properly migrated to the NEW database location.

In summary, the DB update routines we built into Give are not working correctly.

My suspicion is a limitation or security issue with your webhost. If you are able to view you database on the NEW test site, can you confirm whether you see these database tables?

• wp_give_donationmeta
• wp_give_donormeta

If they are there, then install that Database Healthcheck plugin again (while on the OLD version of Give), and run those updates again. Then, update to the latest version of Give (on the test site) and run all the database updates again.

Make sure on your Test site that you have all other plugins deactivated, and that you do not have any Database caching or security plugins running at all (check with your webhost about that as well).

Ideally, that will get it resolved for you on the Test site, then you can migrate that data to the live site manually.

I wish this were easier for you, but I’m fairly certain this is a webhost security issue, something that there’s no way we could prevent or compensate for.

Keep me posted.

Hi there,

It looks like you are using Elegant Theme’s Divi theme. Each module of their page builder has the ability to show/hide the info for desktop or mobile. Most likely you’ll need to adjust those settings. We have TONS of users using Give and Divi very successfully.

If you have more questions about that, I’d reach out to Divi support which is generally very good.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Those are some great questions. I’ll be brief but this should give you the most pertinent info to get up and running quickly with your questions.

First, is it possible to bring into the sum of the sum collected also amounts of money that have already been donated?
Yes. See our docs on the [give_totals] shortcode. That should do what you need.
https://givewp.com/documentation/core/shortcodes/give_totals/

Can I set a countdown timer to end the donation date?
We built a FREE addon for that purpose. It’s a bit experimental, but try it out and let us know how you like it:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/give-form-countdown/

Is there a possibility to know which of the representatives of our donation came through the donation (for example: a link to each representative, option to choose the name of the representative in a special window)
You can add a dropdown to your Give forms so the donor can choose the representative. You can add custom fields to your Give forms in one of two ways:

• Use our Form Field Manager Add-on
• Custom development, which we have detailed docs on that here

Alternatively, if you wanted to have a HIDDEN field that is populated by a unique link, you could add the field in one of the two ways above, then you’d need some custom jQuery to automatically populate that field based on the link. We have a detailed tutorial about that here:
https://givewp.com/populate-donor-info-one-click/

Can I write all fields in Hebrew?
Rather than writing the fields directly, we’d recommend translating the fields into Hebrew with a PO or MO file — this is the default way in which ALL strings in WordPress are translated.

Here’s two ways you can do that:
1. The technical/manual way — https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/internationalization/localization/#poedit
2. With a plugin — https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/loco-translate/

Thanks!

I understand you’d like to just hide that, but the problem is that those elements shouldn’t even be in the forms at all, and I’m concerned they might create trouble for you down the line.

Can you tell me what theme and theme version it is and what page builder and page builder version you are running?

I think the page builder you are using must be converting the shortcode somehow, because all of those <p> elements are not supposed to be there at all.

Try going to “Donations > Settings > Advanced” And then on “the_content filter” set that to “Disabled”.

Try that, then resave the page with the correct shortcode in it. If it still doesn’t work as intended then i’d hit up your page builder or theme support to understand that better.

We respond to all support requests with 2-4 hours. If you haven’t received a response at all, please fill out our Contact Form and we’ll get you immediate attention. Just ask for Matt and mention this thread here.

HI there,

I love that idea. It’s not something we offer out of the box, but here’s the way I’d approach that:

1. Create a form for each author. Note the Form ID for each author’s form.
2. Use this snippet to make the form use the author’s paypal:
https://github.com/impress-org/give-snippet-library/blob/master/gateway-customizations/paypal/paypal-standard-mutliple-accounts.php
3. In order for the donations to be shown as “Complete” each author will need to update their PayPal IPN number to refer to your website. Here’s basic instructions for that here:
https://givewp.com/documentation/core/payment-gateways/paypal-standard/troubleshooting-ipn-issues/#confirm-ipn
4. Then you’ll probably want to use the [give_form] shortcode to output a Button in the WordPress Profile and use the Button Only display mode. See docs on that here:
https://givewp.com/documentation/core/shortcodes/give_form/

IF you want to get a little more developer-oriented with this, you could add a custom field to the Author bio that sets that paypal address dynamically. But you’ll still need each author to update their IPN manually — there’s really no workaround for that, it’s a PayPal thing.

thanks!
