Hello,

is it possible to use the “user upload” feature, but allow selecting a predefined image too? We want the user to be able to select an image and in addition to upload a logo. Or if we could use the ecard_message section to add an extra image plus the text, it would be great.

Thanks

No, it’s not possible. If you could contribute the code to do this, I could merge it into the plugin.

Hi there,

Is there any way to change the post template that shows the card after the recipient click the view ecard link?

I was hoping to do this with Elementor, just adding a new template for the eCard single post type, but the eCard doesn’t come up as a post type.

I simply want to remove header and footer and position the content of this post (the card) into the middle.

Is there a template for this that can be edited without affecting anything else?

Thanks

Glad I paid for extended support. What support??

You can probably code something in your theme, depending on how it’s set up. Most likely the attachment.php template.

Hello. After sending the ecard, can I redirect the sender to another page?

Yes, you can!

Hi,

I sent an email for support on Thursday. It is now Tuesday and I have yet to receive a response.

Here’s the answers:

1. The send button does not work on desktop, however, it works on mobile. For example, I tried sending an ecard from my PC and nothing happened. When I sent it from my phone it worked. Why is this not working on desktop?

A: This is not possible. It is working on all devices, there is no difference between a mobile device and a desktop device.

2. How do I remove/modify “note: this is an ecards demo using a block template”

A: Go to the plugin settings, then eCards Designer (Blocks) tab and follow the steps.

3. How come the ecard designer message is not displaying properly in the email? For example, it is missing the first line saying “congratulations”.

A: See above, you need to create your template.

4. The email I received in my email inbox is from wordpress@example.com. How do I change this to support@example.com.

A: I use Post SMTP plugin for this, but you can also use the Mail From II plugin. Both are free, I also use SendGrid for sending emails.

Hi. Did you receive my support ticket via email?

Yes, I have and I replied just now.

Basically, you need to add a label for “Privacy Policy/GDPR consent text” in the Labels section.

Thanks I just responded via email

Your demo is not working. April 10, 2021.

Ignore my comment. I jumped the gun… I did eventually receive the test ecard I sent to myself..

No problem. Glad it worked for you.

Is there any way to add a terms checkbox to the bottom of the form? Need to add it for GDPR.

Awesome thanks.

Also, I saw some other people ask but I didn’t see the specifics. Where is the line in ecards.php where the message is outputted in the email? I wanted to wrap some CSS around it if I can.

What’s your eta on the new version? (or got an early beta?). I wanted to use it for Women’s Day tomorrow but need the GDPR tick ;-P

Well, you’re lucky! I’ve just added it tonight and pushed the update (5.2.1).

Go to plugin Settings to select your GDPR page and go to Labels to add your consent text.

Regarding the confirmation, use this class to style it – .ecard-confirmation – or find it at line 403, but it’s not recommended to mess with the code as future releases will overwrite your changes.

When a card has been sent, there is a success message that I can change via the labels part of the control panel. Is there anyway I can add formatting to that success phrase to make it stand out a bit more? I have tried html tags and

but as soon as I save the changes these are deleted. Any suggestions? Thanks

No, you’ll probably have to modify the plugin files to change the styling.Or you can add CSS to the container.

OK Thanks

I have purchased ecard and set it up on my site, it appears as it should but when I send a card, it says your card has been sent but it never arrives. I have tested wp-mail via the diagnostics and that works fine. Have I missed something?

Can’t help without additional details.

Can you contact me via ciprian@getbutterfly.com and also send me the link so I can test it myself?

Email sent. I have figured it out, my email client was set to simple html, it works now. So many things to think about!!! Thanks for a great plugin.

Great! I’m happy you figured it out. Your first question is going to be added to our FAQ.

Also, if you find the plugin useful, feel free to add a review or a rating – https://codecanyon.net/item/wordpress-ecards/reviews/1051966

I have another question. I want to be able to add 2 or 3 instances of the shortcode to a page. This enables me to group the cards into categories (e.g. General, Christmas, Valentine). Visually it works well but when I select and send a card from one of the instances of the shortcode it sends the email the same number of times as the number of instances on the page. So if I have 3 categories it sends the card 3 times. Is there a way to have more than one instance of the code on a page or do I have to set up separate pages for each category? I don’t mind digging around in the code if you can point me in the right direction.

It is not possible, you should only have one shortcode per page.

The plugin has been initially built to get all attachments from one post/page. Even with the addition of custom IDs, the plugin still needs on shortcode per post/page.

A solution for this would be to add a unique identifier as a form parameter.

I’ll add it to my TODO/development list.

That would be great. My original attempt was to create a series of tabs so that each category of ecard was on a separate tab.Visually it worked well but functionally it didn’t so I have now created a workaround which is to have each collection on a separate page so that users can navigate between pages. It’s a bit clunky so I would welcome an update to the plugin.

I am testing user upload. It seems to work OK until the recipient clicks on the [ecard-link] in the email. Instead if displaying the uploaded image it displays the last of the images following the shortcode e.g. [ecard id=1, 2, 3, 4] In this case it would link to image 4 and not the uploaded image. How can I fix this?

You are not missing anything, you are correct. I made a mistake. But still you can do it, by using CSS to hide the user upload on the custom image IDs page.

Thanks, done that.

You’re welcome!

I want to set up ecards on 2 separate pages on my website e.g. one for Birthday Cards and one for Christmas cards. I get that I can do that but I want slightly different settings for each page. On one I would like users to be able to upload their own images but not on the other page. I would also like to design different emails for each page. Is this achievable, perhaps by adding additional attributes to the [ecard] shortcode?

This is not currently possible.

Hi, when ecards are sent out from my website they go from my normal Wordpress emaill address and the reply-to address is the one I set up in the dedicated email address in the ecards setting i.e. ecards@(mydomain). The problem I have is that recipients sometimes hit the reply button thinking they are replying to the sender but instead reply to me. Is there a way to change the reply-to address to the be sender’s address?

Not yet, but I have updated the plugin and I’ll push it to CodeCanyon in 2 hours with the “Reply To” header set to the sender.

Thanks, new version works well.

You are welcome!

How can I upgrade the plugin. I use the Envato Market plugin but it’s not included under plugins.

Upload the files and replace the existing plugin. All you settings and data will be preserved.

How can I format the scheduler to appear as it does in your demo? What I get at the moment is each element of the date and time on separate lines. You can see my installation at https://rotaryestoipalace.org/ecards-select/ (use password “infw”). Thanks.

Your theme is messing up the form fields. Use this custom CSS to fix it:

input[type="text"], input[type="password"], input[type="search"], input[type="url"], input[type="email"], input[type="tel"], input[type="number"], textarea, select {
    width: auto;
}

That’s fantastic. Thanks.

You’re welcome!

If I use the [ecard-link] in the email desiger I would expect it to display a hyperlink as it does if I use your demo. But when I send a test email from my installation the [ecard-link] displays the image inline instead of the URL. How can I fix this?

Use getbutterfly [at] gmail [dot] com as an email address.

I still see the password field.

Thanks. I reinstated the password as I have now resolved the issue myself after many hours of troubleshooting. It turns out it was because the label for Email Link Anchor in settings was blank. I had assumed, I think, that as it states under the field ‘Default is “Click to see your eCard!”’ that a blank field would return the default value.

You are correct, that should be fixed. By “default” I meant what you should use, not what’s actually being used. I will fix this in the next release.

I am happy you fixed the issue.

I have just upgraded to the pro version. I can install and activate bt when I click on settings I get “Sorry you are not alowed to access this page”.

I have deactivated and deleted the lite version. I have deleted and reinstalled the pro version but I still get the same error. Have I missed something?

I’m glad it works, although it’s strange. Let me know how it goes.

I think it was something to do with not deactivating the lite version before I activated the pro version. In the end I deleted both and reinstalled the pro version.

That is true, you can’t have both active.

Dear Author, It will be a great service for less coding aware individuals if you upload a video that should show: a) how to attach images in a product card page, and how to integrate payment solutions through a third party plugins. .

You are correct, I should do that.

And I’ll do it for the next major version, showcasing the block editor and the payment concepts (without any specific payment plugins).

Hi team, can you please let me know if your plugin works with Wordpress Multisite and Elmentor. Thank you.

As the eCards are inserted via a shortcode, the plugin is compatible with Elementor and WordPress Multisite.

Thank you. Is it possible to have a trial version for a local server?

You’re welcome!

I don’t think Envato allows trial versions.

Cant see how to contact support, I switched from the lite version as I wanted the masonry ability (which the lite version says you get with pro) but cant find this. Also now there are grey backgrounds and i dont want that either – can you help please?

Can you show me a screenshotfor the grey backgrounds?

Regarding the masonry, that’s not available anymore due to block editor conflicts in WordPress 5+.
