WPCharitable

@abcca Thanks for reaching out.

We’ve had users use the Charity theme before, and the area you showed in the screenshot might not be generated by Charitable. To confirm you can share the actual link so we can look at the source code. If it’s not Charitable that might explain a few things you tried and didn’t work… and then you would need to ask these questions to the theme authors.

@jdowns1 Upon initial inspection (just checking quickly with your code) I can confirm what you see. For now, i’m going to send this to our developer team to confirm and (if this is a bug) apply a fix for the next release.

Meantime you can add this after the code and it should force the option to be 0 (unchecked), as I confirmed.

update_post_meta( $campaign_id, '_campaign_allow_custom_donations', '0' );

I’m going to go ahead and close this ticket but I’ll update this when the release containing the bug (or if another explanation is discovered). Thanks!

@rc2102 Thanks for update.

The code as shared works for us in our tests, so double check and make sure the snippet you provided doesn’t have any unusual characters or spaces and located in your functions.php file. The above error you are shown is usually a syntax error (a character is off or missing). If you are copy and pasting try re-typing to remove the chance there are any character issues.

@rc2102 Thanks for reaching out.

So yes, in this instance you are correct – because by default Paypal tries to go back to the donation form of the campaign page if you cancel. When you cancel (typically, depending on setup) get back to not your shortcode page but this:

https://test.site/campaigns/my-campaign/donate/?donation_id=556&cancel=1

It might be possible to change the cancel return via filtering out what Charitable sends to Paypal. There is a filter ‘charitable_paypal_redirect_args’ that’s found in charitable/includes/gateways/class-charitable-gateway-paypal.php. If you or your developer is familiar with WordPress filters, you might be able to drop something like this into your functions.php file in your theme:

add_filter( 'charitable_paypal_redirect_args', 'my_redirect_args', 10, 3);

function my_redirect_args( $settings, $donation_id, $processor ) {
	$settings['cancel_return'] = 'https://www.mysitelink.com';
	return $settings;
}

How you determine what to populate the return URL is up to you, but this would be the recommended way to attempt to change the cancel URL of Paypal. Hope this helps!

@jdowns1 thanks for reaching out.

So the below function should show what you pass through (which if you look in the post meta for a campaign where you have a suggestion donation(s) and default, you’ll see the serialized versions of these).

    $args = array(
        'title' => 'Test Campaign',
        'suggested_donations' => array( array(
            'amount' => 5,
            'description' => 'gold'
        ) ),
        'suggested_donation_amount' => array (
            '$5.00'
        ),
        'allow_custom_donations' => 1,
    );

For more background information, you can check out the files charitable/includes/campaigns/class-charitable-campaign-processor.php. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.

@timothyrobinson thanks for reaching out.

First, let’s confirm it’s not a theme issue – does switching to a default WordPress theme make any difference (after clearing cache, etc.)?

The donation receipt page usually provides input after testing donation forms, not directly so as a next step you can share with us the steps to reproduce what you see on the site (and perhaps turn on test mode of make offline donations available) that would be great.

If you also want to activate debugging (WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG) and see if anything shows up in the logs when you follow your steps that might be potentially helpful. Thanks!

I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now. But if you’d like us to assist further, please feel welcome to continue the conversation.

Thanks!
