Hi, How do I chang the text in the pop up at the top that says. “It’s Christmas time!We want to celebrate Christmas with our friends and clients. Here’s a special gift for you. Have great holidays” I want to change it to my own text.

Hi there, you can change it within the shortcode, see http://santapress.halloecho.de/docs/#hiddenMode

Hi,

I just want to make sure, I do not want to put my calendar permanently on a space in my site and want it to be a pop up rather on my site upon load, how do I do that ?

Dear Sirs, I would like to buy your plugin but I have a wordpress.com site. Is it compatible?

Hi there, yes it should be possible but only with a Business plan (https://wordpress.com/business/)

Ok, thanks a lot!

I have installed and tested but the code conflicts with our registration page (terms popup) here https://thetanningshop.co.uk/portal-registration/

I have disabled the SantaPress plugin so the registration works FYI!

Hi there, this seems like a theme conflict. Can you describe the error? Are there any errors in the browser javascript console? Alternatively can you please send me a temporary login so I can look at it? envato@halloecho.de

Hi! Why I will get this kind of notification when installed the plug-in?

Hey there, this is very odd. I havent had this issue yet but I will look into it today and get back to you. Can you send an email to envato@halloecho.de so I can reply directly? Thank you!

For the pop up, is it possible to embed photos and videos once a certain day is clicked?

Also for the days, say it’s dec 10th, are days 11-25 inactive? I don’t want them to be clickable until that day has come or passed.

Hi there, yes. It’s possible to either embed images or video. For Video see here: https://santapress.halloecho.de/demo1 (press on day 10 or 11). For images it’s the same.

As for the second question. Yes the days that have not passed yet are inactive (not clickable).

Hello, what happens to a users reponse it has been submitted? Is it possible for us to retrieve it? Let’s say that we would like to “pick a winner” each day in December, can we do that?

We don’t use CF7 and we we’re not going to. But if we could integrate SantaPress using Zapier or similar, that would be very neat.

Thanks!

Hi there, good question.

Basically after answering to a quiz, you can decide how the response looks like. It can be a text or some shortcode, e.g. from Contact Form 7.

If you need a winner you need to have some contact form to get the data, correct? Zapier only automates the process, but you still need a contact form to retrieve the data within the calendar, right?

If you don’t want to use Contact Form 7 you can also try to use any other plugin, but you probably would have to switch to iframe integration (which we have just implemented) to make it work.

I hope that answers your question?

Hi, Is it possible to embed a video (from shortcode) in the modal popup window?

Hey there. Yes, you can use the default [video] shortcode (https://wordpress.org/support/article/video-shortcode/). See https://santapress.halloecho.de/demo1/ (click on Door 10).

Excellent, thank you so much!

Hello! Just bought the license and installed the plugin. Is there somewhere some user instructions which I could familiarise as I am not that technically brilliant person – just learning by doing ;-) Kind regards, Nina from Patamies.fi Finland

Hi there, yes here you go: http://santapress.halloecho.de/docs :-) Also this video might help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAPX7P8-FVQ. If you need any assistance just let me know via email envato@halloecho.de. Best wishes

Hi Haloecho, I’m intersting to buy SantaPress but I’m wondering if there is an option the client to recieve a confirmation e-mail after opening the door?

Hi there, do you mean literally on each door opening? Basically this should be possible via standard wordpress actions (e.g. if a door post was openend -> fire an email). However this could really be ending up messy (e.g. the client will get an email on literally each access of the door post, including the access of spiders, bots etc.). If you only want to have a confirmation once somebody sent the contact form, this is possible via Contact Form 7.

Dear HalloEcho, I was not clear enough. At what moment Santa asks for the client’s email – before he join the advent calendar or after he opens the window of the calendar? Is it posiible to send him automatic e-mail for every door opened by him. Lets assume someone opens the door, than he will see special offer /10% discount / This offer is available only with a Promocode, that we want to send him through automatic e-mail. For every window there willl be diffrent promocode.

Hi again, you can either place a contact form within the modal window directly or after the user has answered the quiz (see https://santapress.halloecho.de/quiz/ for example – press on door 2) :-) Like said the quiz is not necessary, you can also place the contact form directly in the modal window. Please note that you need the Contact Form 7 plugin for this.

Hi there I installed your plugin and everything seemed fine. Now i have an issue: The days work already with administration preview, but unfortunately they don’t look the same with Modal and with Normal view: https://www.screencast.com/t/pZNEkqV2avHP https://www.screencast.com/t/bopY1qNz I just set the publishing date to 2020, that you can already look at day one here: https://www.elaf-shop.com/adventskalender/ https://www.elaf-shop.com/door/1/

Can you please explain?

When i take away the header with following CSS, i can just only see the title: https://www.screencast.com/t/lFwzMMf7lt .santapress-post .fusion-fullwidth{ display: none !important; }

Best Regards Florin

Hi Florin, thanks for purchasing and writing. Actually I had this issue with some themes already. Some themes and page builders seem to use the_content() in different places in their code which conflicts with the current santapress modal. Actually I am already working on a bugfix for that which will be released the upcoming weeks. In the meantime: Could you download this file ( https://gist.github.com/flymke/d0d5754b7698bac584c7990c6f675442 ), name it to single-door.php and place it within your theme/child theme folder? Thank you! :-)

Hi

When someone clicks on a door and the window opens is there a way for people to be able to leave comments on that window – it seems to me that there is nowhere for people to comment i.e. to enter a competition by commenting.

Thank you in advance, RJ SCOTT

Hi again, hm when you add the code snippet (the code should go either in the functions.php in your theme / child theme or through a plugin like “Code Snippets” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/) you should have a discussion box available in the backend while editing the door posts. Can you see this?

woot! yes… all works :) thank you x

Perfect. :-) Thanks!

Any Update-Plans for the Upcoming XMAS Season this Year?

Hey there, thanks for asking. Yes actually there will actually be a minor update this week (addressing some bugfixes and support for the newest WP) and a larger update at the end of September. Best, Mike

Hi,

Preview Mode is only available to “administrator” role. Is it possible to grant Preview Mode to “editor” role? This is important for me, as I don’t want my editor to mess up the design of my website, but he should be able to previeww the doors in pop-up mode.

Different topic: reset does not seem to work. I deleted all doors and went back to the installation page, but no possibility to reset. So I had to install wordpress from scratch to make the reset.

Thank you, Louis

Hi Louis, thanks for the comment. Unfortunately the preview mode is only accessible for administrators. If you really need this function you can go in /santapress/public/class-santapress-public.php and change line 198 where it says:

if( current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) && $santapress_previewmode ) {

to

if( current_user_can( ‘edit_pages’ ) && $santapress_previewmode ) {

That should do the trick, but I have not tested it.

As for the second question: Please make sure the doors trash is also empty. I had this issue on MultiSite installations in the past, but after emptying the trash it should work. However I will be checking this again also for the next update.

Thank you!

Perfect, thank you !

Hi! Is there a way to give access to the calendar upon a purchase in woocommerce?

I want to include a PDF product (available from a link in the calendar window) each day, but I want to sell this as a “subscription” for the advent calendar.

I don’t know if I’m being clear enough? :)

Thanks in advance.

Haha! Yes, I thougt about that too, but my clients are not the kind to sneak around just to get some free goodies (they probably don’t even know that it’s possible to do that) :)

Thanks for your help! I’ll be working on this soon!

I’m going to rename each door page with a random number like this : /door/8462622-door2

So good luck to find them all haha!

Ha! Fantastic idea! :-)

Bonjour, j’ai passé commande de votre plugin mais lorsque l’extension a été ouverte sur wordpress via le fichié zip et bien activé ; il est impossible d’accéder au plugin avec la page qui se charge à l’infini…

J’installe de nombreux plugins et c’est le seul qui m’a fait ça jusqu’à maintenant. Avez-vous une solution à cela ?

Cordialement

Bonjour, j’ai répondu à votre mail. Merci!

Salut SARLGSECPUB, je suis vraiment désolé pour le retard. Cependant, j’ai répondu à votre e-mail hier. Pourriez-vous s’il-vous-plaît vérifier? Pourriez-vous également m’envoyer un lien (et de préférence un identifiant pour le backend) afin que je puisse vérifier ? Le chargement sans fin me semble très étrange et je n’ai jamais eu ce problème auparavant. Merci beaucoup et désolé encore. Mike

Hi SARLGSECPUB, do you still need help? Let me know! Best, Mike

any chance to add random images to the windows? let’s say I click on day 1 and every time it opens it randomly shows an image out of 5 different choices.

Hey there, this is not included in santapress. But since santapress shows regular post content, this plugin works (just tested it): https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/mpress-image-refresh/ Best wishes :)

Hello Michael,

Thanks for replying to my first email earlier this week but unless mistaken the advice given was the same as the one found on your documentation. I have emailed you yesterday and included several annotated screenshots to detail my issue. Can you please let me know if you can assist or not? I would much rather work with your app as you provide a quizz but if this is not possible I will be asking for a refund. Looking forward to hearing from you promptly as I need to be using your app for the launch of our website in the coming days. Kind regards, Marianne Guillois-Honey

Hi – I’m not renewing my domain malka.uno – is it possible to transfer my license of santapress to a new domain later?

Thanks, Britt

Hi there, no problem. You bought the license and you can also use it on a different domain. Thank you and best wishes, Mike

Hi I was wondering if there is any way to make the plug-in working with an extended calendar over the 25 days…

I m using it for a monthly offers and it’s very handy if could cover all month instead of only 25 days…

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi there, sorry for the late answer. Yes that is possible. You can simply add days ins the backend and assign them a date and an image. However the images only cover 25 days so you would have to use custom images instead.
