Hello, is there a configuration in the plugin that prevents users from opening all doors for future data? Thanks!

Yes. That is by default :)

Please confirm if Spanish language files are included, or if you include the POT language file for translation. Thanks!

I only include the pot which is mostly for the backend. In general the whole front end is up to you (titles, content etc.) – there is no need for language files.

Is it possible to set the calendar for dates that start on December 12 and end on January 6? (This is a holiday period called Guadalupe-Reyes.)

Thanks, that’s great to know! So then, the date (number) is embedded in each image file? (I would just design each image.)

Or could I create & upload another layout/theme that would show within the plugin settings?

No you can just start a calendar on dec 6 and then manually adjust the doors.

Hi I would like the media to automatically start when opening the door of the calendar. Is that possible? /Anders

If you use Youtube yes. You can add ?autoplay=1 at the end of the embed URL. However I should say that there is an error with the audio playback (the browser keeps playing the audio when the modal is closed). For that you can use this snippet: https://gist.github.com/flymke/e560b5437a21dcfc99b79d22367e3c9e

Hello. Could you please check my client balidairy.com/advent Whats wrong ? it cant be online for the calendar… i set the date already correct

The date depends on server time. Current time in Bali is 00:31 so it seems right to me :-)

Hey Michael

Is it possible to redirect the user after a correct answer and succesfully entering their email? Right now it just returns to the advent layout.

Yes. You can try this plugin: https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/wpcf7-redirect/ – just tested it and it works. Best

Doh, my bad! Didn’t even think of it that way. Excellent solution. Thank you.

perfect :-)

Hello I cannot get the calendar centered

https://senioren.evd-ev.de/2734-2/

on my screen it is centered :)

Hi I have installed your plugin on my website www.fitnessfaktoryonline.com/calendario-avvento. unfortunately it seems to be incompatible with the currently active “TopFit” theme. There is no way I can center the calendar on the page. If I apply page templates other than the one currently in place, the popup / modalwindow effect does not work. Wordpress is updated to version 5.5.3. Can you help me? Thanks. If necessary, I can provide you with the access data to the Wordpress dashboard.

Hi there, you can center it with:

.santapress-container { margin: auto !important }

Also make sure you are using HTTPS when trying (the link you sent was HTTP). That might be an issue.

I can’t check other page templates right now – if above doesn’t work please send me a test login to envato@halloecho.de. Thanks

Hello, I have the issues with the contact7 forms in the quiz. To be 100% sure it is not an issue on my side I have installed the plugin on a website which has another theme, no recaptcha and also all other plugins work. Could you please fix the issues so I can finnish and launch my calender tonight? cheers ans thanks Erik Jan

Hi Erik, can you please send me a link and a login to envato@halloecho.de?

check your mail please

We have very weird problem -> https://attractionsymbols.com/sl/adventna-presenecenja/

when not logged in: 1st window is set to open today from 8.00 or something like that, and it’s throwing 404 error (jquery.js?ver=1.12.4-wp:4 GET https://attractionsymbols.com/sl/door/1/ 404)

when logged in: - door which is set to be opened/active, throws 404 in background, and no popup is visible - door which is still not active/published is working perfectly

server is nginx, theme is Bridge

Please help soon, because we are late with this advent action ;) If you need access, tell me, if you have idea/direction tell me as well.

Tried to add the_content() into single.php (child theme), result is no popup opens :) Anyway theme seems to be using the_content() anyway.

regards, Tadej

Hi Tadej, I just checked your site and it seems like the door permalinks are not working. A direct link (e.g. https://attractionsymbols.com/sl/index.php?p=3810) seems to be forwarding to door/1 correctly but then the server return a 404 error.

Could you therefore please:

1.) disable other plugins to make sure there is no conflict with any other plugin? I can recommend to use “Health Check & Troubleshooting” to temporarily disable all plugins.

2.) Please check your Nginx configuration. There are errors why Nginx why post types do return 404 when the rewrite rules do not correctly follow the Nginx format (see https://bobcares.com/blog/nginx-wordpress-permalinks-404-error/#:~:text=To%20be%20precise%2C%20Nginx%20wordpress,and%20made%20permalinks%20working%20again for example). Also you seem to have Redis Cache activated. Not sure if this can be the issue, but make sure to also keep that in mind.

Furthermore, what you can try: register a custom post type (for example with a snippet from https://generatewp.com/post-type/) and see if that works. I hope that helps to find the culprit.

Best

OMG, I solved it. First try was disabling all plugins, and the second was redis plugin. Never would have expected this, redis was the culprit :/ thanks for help!

Awesome! :-)

Hi

We have built a calender however we face some issues with contactform 7 and our site is 100% technical ok.

The issue is with the contact7 form, if you fill our all required fields it does not accept, the forms DO work correctly on the site. What do you advise to do. You can test yourself at https://www.samenveiliger.nl/samen-veiliger-cybersecurity-en-security-adventskalender/ and try number 2, we have opened it for the moment

Many thanks Erik Jan

Hello,

I have disabled it, but I do not think this can bet he issue as I have also tested it without. Please try again it has been disabled now

Cheers EJ

I have tested the plugin also in another website and I have exactly the same issue. In that website another team and no recaptcha is used

Please send me a link and a login from the test site to envato@halloecho.de

Hey, I have seen a few people with a similar problem to me but I cant get the popups working at all :(

I probably have a solution for it. Please send me a link and will send you an update. Thanks!

i just released a new version (1.3.10) that should finally fix this bug. Best wishes :-)

I will try with the new version now and come back to you

Hi, great plugin! I am only wanting to do a 12-day calendar starting on Dec 12, with doors numbered 1-12. However, it sets up the doors to be 12-24 instead. I see I can manually adjust each door to fix it, but is there a way to automatically do it?

Hi there, I currently release minor changes but this a new kind of feature so I have real timetable for it yet. But: As a workaround you can start the calendar on dec 1st and then just delete all doors 1-11. Then you should have the right order :) Hope that helps!

Hi, thanks, but I wanted doors numbered 1-12. I instead did a 12 day calendar starting on Dec 1 and then manually adjusted all of the start dates.

OK thanks you

I have finally suxcessfully installed and customized the plugin. I have only one problem left.. pop up remain just few second and automatically close and redirect on the day post page… how can I set the time? Thank you very much

Hi, did you have problems installing the plugin? As for the popup it seems from what you write that your theme seems to force the redirect. Can you check if you have a preloadeder activated? Sometimes this is forcing the redirect. Otherwise please send me a link (either with a login or please publish 1 door) to envato@halloecho.de. Thank you

Hello,

Thanks for the plugin. I just purchased your product and I’m trying to set it up on our website. I’ve got two issues – the modal window takes considerable time to open after clicking a door, also please what’s the easiest way to make the calendar center aligned on a page?

Regards, Victor

Hi there, you have to sure that the container from your theme will center the content where santapress shortcode is inserted. Further you should center the santapress container with Custom CSS: .santapress-container { margin:auto }

As for the time: It really depends on the speed of your website (server, wordpress, plugins etc.) since the doors are just regular posts. You can use tools like gtmetrix.com to measure that. Nevertheless you can try to include this single-door.php template in your theme that doesn’t load header and footer code and therefor should make the modal a bit faster: https://gist.github.com/flymke/d0d5754b7698bac584c7990c6f675442 Otherwise I would recommend to talk with your server provider or use a caching plugin.

Brilliant, thank you!

Guten Morgen,

ich habe Deinen wirklich toll aussehenden Kalender erworben und hänge jetzt in wordpress, welches ich zum ersten Mal benutze. Welches Theme sollte man nehmen, wenn man Deinen Kalender ganz ohne Header, Footer, Suchformulare etc. darstellen möchte (so hübsch wie bei Dir – toller Hintergrund, zentriert usw)? Verzweifle bereits ein wenig, da der 1. so nah ist…

Lieben Dank für eine kurze Info Markus

Hallo Markus, es ist schwierig hier eine Empfehlung für ein Theme zu geben. Es gibt hier auf Themeforest viele gute (auch Weihnachts-) Themes. Ich selber nutze gerne Astra in Kombination mit Elementor oder als Premium Themes z.B. Avada oder Enfold. Wenn du wirklich nur den Kalender willst (ohne Header, Footer usw.) würde ich empfehlen Elementor zu verwenden. Vielleicht hilft das hier weiter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MsoEnTywo4

Der Link, dem du gefolgt bist, ist abgelaufen.

I can’t install it. Please advice. Thanks.

Worked out. Thanks. One more issue:

https://share.getcloudapp.com/xQuYZzO5 Pictures are not shown. Any ideas why?

That is strange indeed. Can you send me a link to envato@halloecho.de so I can look at it?

sent it.Thanks for your help.

Is it in your plans to make multiple advent calendars available?

The reason I ask is that we would use it to set our members a daily task that would form part of a monthly challenge.

It would also make the plugin of use all year round too :)

Hi there, actually that is on our agenda :-) Also I think it will be released soon probably within the next bigger update.

Is there any way to keep some of the doors open when I have “Disable past doors” enabled?

Yes. But then you’d have to make it manually: You can turn off “Disable past doors” and manually set each day to “draft” after the day is over. This way you can leave door 1 open (=published).

Unfortunately this was not quite what I meant. When I set the door to “draft” it disappears from calendar. I would like past doors to remain visible but so that they cannot be clicked.

I see. You can set them to any future date then (e.g. sometime im January). That would still show them in the calendar. Would that be better?

Hello,

When I click in the settings on “Disable past door” the doors are no longer displayed, even the door of the day

Can you help me ?

Hi there, please download the newest version (1.3.9) from your Downloads. This version includes a bugfix for that issue.

All it’s good with the newest version thank you ! :)

Perfect :) Thanks!
