Because you are using PHP 5.3. What is the file name and the line number in that error?

Okay, I have the plugin working on the site, however, it’s not sending an ecards… I’ve tried all the settings I can find, and nothing. what could be causing the email not to be sent? Any thoughts?

Hi, try to update your PHP to 5.4 or higher. You have 5.3 right now. Ask you host or look in your control panel. Let me know how it works.

Hello, I just contacted my host and also checked myself and we’re running PHP 5.4.4.3 – not 5.3. Can this be fixed? Please advise. Thanks!

Hi, an updated version will be released today.

Thanks! I installed the update and have gotten it somewhat working – except I haven’t received any cards :-/ I set up a dedicated email. Any other suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks for your help!

I also just installed the WP Mail From II plugin and added the dedicated ecards email there. Still no luck.

Did you check your SPAM folder?

Yes, many times….nothing there.

Do you have any other suggestions on how to get this to work?

Can you check the server for email logs? Can you send me your URL so I can try to send an eCard to myself and check for any errors?

Remind me, what PHP version are you using?

It’s PHP 5.3.8

Anything, we could do?

Hi, thank you.

Have you added images according to the documentation? Every new user asks the same question.

You have to add the image using the Add Media button and upload it. You can’t get the image from the Media Library and you can’t insert the URL.

Hi!

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I used the “Add Media”- Button wihich is “Dateien hinzufügen” in german for me. This doesn’t work.

This would be an alternative for me, because I wish to have the Featured image of my post to be sent.

Would you please please please simplify this funktion so your users could chose featured image or an image in your post?

You woldn’t have to answer the same old question to every new user again and could spend time for nicer things.

Best regards! Sabrina

Not right now, unless you edit the plugin files.

Thanks for the feedback. Which file would be best for me to add some styling for the email to in the interim? (Until a future possibly update gives me more freedom)

It’s the ecards.php file, find the wp_mail() function and see how the message is built.

I know what the problem is, I’ll fix it in the next update.

The radial button is added automatically. I’ll try to find a way to hide it if it’s one image only.

That’s awesome! Do you know roughly when the next update will be? I’ll let the client know and see if she wants to wait until then to implement or if I should go ahead with the Paypal shortcode and smaller thumbnail until then.

The new version will be available tomorrow.

Wow that’s quick and thank you for being so responsive. I’ll await the codecanyon email letting me there’s been an update.

Sure, no problem. Thank you.

Thanks, just uploaded the new version. I now have a beautiful large image. Any solution to the radial button?

You’re welcome. Not yet, the radial button will take several more days. As the button is checked if there’s one image only, you can hide it using CSS in your theme.

I’ll do that. What’s the CSS class for the button?

I did this: .ecard input[type=”radio”] { -webkit-appearance: none; }

This got rid of the radial button on the non Paypal pages. But it still shows up on the Paypal button pages (centered). Am I missing something to get this to work?

I don’t think the PayPal image has an .ecard class. Use Chrome to see what’s the class, then use:

display: none;

instead of:

-webkit-appearance: none;

I did:

/* # hidding radio button */ input[type=radio] { display: none; }

and it worked for both. Curious to see if it has any other implications somewhere else on the site. Thanks for all your help!

It should work, yes. If you’re not using radio buttons elsewhere on the site, then you’re fine. I will also update the plugin next week.

PayPal question/clarification.

The site has 24 different cards available for purchase (one per post). Here’s a link to the overall category: http://www.mydailyvibe.com/vibe-shop/

I made a purchase and the autoredirect didn’t work. If I used the history to go back to the page, the buy button was still there.

I’m assuming I need the client to activate the autoreturn at her end, but I want it to go back to the page they bought from. What URL do you put in on PayPal in such a case? How does the process work?

So just tested the redirect. I had the client turn on the redirection from PayPal.

After purchase, it redirected me to the homepage of the site and not the card page. When I went back to the card page (that I had bought from) it still had the PayPal button and no form to fill. —I’m assuming that the form doesn’t show until after payment, but in this case it didn’t work.

Any insight? I made the cards $1 presently since this seems to be the lowest price that can be set.

Did you set up a redirection page in the plugin’s options?

No, I had it as “do not redirect.” Just switched it to: “Redirect to Another Page”.

Do I leave the URL empty and the plugin will know to redirect to the page where the order was made?

No, of course not. When you “redirect to another page”, you have to specify that page.

But there are 24 different pages that have 1 card each and the return page is globally set to one page. The PayPal portion of the plugin only works for one page?

The PayPal works for each eCard. The return page should be a “Thank you” page or a similar one. I’m not sure I follow.

Maybe the ecard is not working properly on the site. If you check it out, there’s a PayPal button but no form to fill out. Based on what you are saying, the PayPal button should be at the bottom of the form instead of the submit button, this is not what I’m seeing. I thought that the payment would unlock the form and return you to the page for filling/sending. Take look here: http://www.mydailyvibe.com/ecard-4/

The code on the backend for the page is: (paypal)(ecard)(/paypal) <—squarebrackets of course, they just weren’t showing up

Maybe I shouldn’t be wrapping the ecard shortcode with the paypal button code?

BTW Thanks for your patience. I think we are getting there.

No, it’s not like that.

The PayPal button should be there by itself, with no form and no submit button. After you pay, you get redirected to the eCard form. I can’t check if it’s working or not because my PayPal’s empty.

Your shortcode is correct.

Good, shortcode is correct. One thing to cross off the list.

That’s the problem. I don’t get redirected to the eCard form. I pay, wait the 10 seconds and get redirected to the homepage. The homepage is what I put in the PayPal backend for the redirect URL since I had to put something. Should the return URL be left blank from PayPal so that it returns to the right page?

The return URL is set inside the plugin. You don’t need to activate it on PayPal’s side. It should work, as far as I know. I’ll double check.

OK, thanks for looking into it.

If PayPal doesn’t have the redirect set, it doesn’t return you to the site to fill out the form. (Presently it returns you, but to the home page and not the page you made the purchase from)

Isn’t the redirect on your plugin set for the “thank you” page after the form has been sent?

LMK if you want a login to the site to poke around the set-up

I see. Yes, the redirect is set for a “thank you” page.

I don’t need a login right now, I’m still investigating, thanks.

Any luck with your investigation?

Not yet, seems like PayPal updated some stuff. I have to add something to the plugin.

Thanks for the update

Any advances on the PayPal integration?

Any news on the PayPal integration?

Sorry for the delay. I’m still working on it. I know it’s slow, but I’m doing my best.

Glad to hear you are working on it. How long to you expect? I want to go back with some kind of timeframe for the client.

This week. I’ll publish an update by Thursday, the latest.

Thanks!

Can I see your form?

Thanks for the speedy response. The form is on http://dundascastle.co.uk/weddings/send-a-postcard/

Do you, by any chance, have the redirection option active?

I believe so. The page is set to redirect to a thank you message

It should redirect you after 10 seconds. If not, it means PayPal requires a different form structure and I’ll have to investigate.

I am using PayPal sandbox. but as right now I have to click “Return to Website”. Possibly a sandbox issue?

Hi Ronald. The next version will fix the recipient’s email and name. I will also check the user creation, might be a WordPress 4.2 conflict. Stay tuned.

Thanks for your quick response. Hopefully you will be able to fix it in the next update then.

It is fixed, I will release an updated version this weekend.

Any news on the update yet?

Sorry about the delay, I’ll update it as soon as possible.

Thanks for the update! It seems the problem with the sender’s e-mail and name is solved. However, the plugin still doesn’t create new users for me. Any ideas?

I’m glad to hear the email works now.

Do you have a new role called “eCard Sender” in your Users section?

Yes, the role is there in the user section.

That’s weird. Can you install this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/log-deprecated-notices/ – and try to send eCards and create new users then go to Tools -> Deprecated Logs and see if anything shows up?

I have installed the plugin and send a new ecard. The user wasn’t created and when I looked in the logs it said: “Nothing in the log! Your plugins are oh so fine.”
