Check out eCards -> Settings, where you can set the colours for your button.

No, it is not possible. eCards can only be sent via email.

Hi.

You don’t need to reupload images, you can supply the featured image ID in the eCard shortcode.

See this tutorial – https://getbutterfly.com/faq/how-to-use-ids-for-specific-ecard-images/

I definetely missed this tutorial Thanks a lot

You are welcome!

Hi Brian,

I cannot help with email sending, as this is an internal issue. What you can do is investigate why. I use the Post SMTP plugin on all my websites and I can check the email log if something is not working. You can also try any other email logging plugin (there are lots out there) to check for errors.

Basically, email sending depends on your server configuration.

What you need is a correct SPF DNS record, and, if you cannot send emails directly from your web server, then you need an SMTP solution.

I use Post SMTP + SendGrid (which has a free plan).

Let me know how it goes.

Hi.

The eCards generated are for internal use only.

The link should take you back to the eCard page where you have the form.

Would you like to see just the image in a new tab?

Yes, it is possible.

A recommendation would be SendGrid. I am using it on 200+ websites for 100% email deliverability.

Note that you can send the eCards directly, but you need a correct SPF record.

Thanks a lot for your answers, one last question : I want to offer this service for free. And i want to add a button in the email template to offer the recipient the opportunity to unsubscribe. That way the next time someone wants to send him an ecard, it won’t be sent. Can this be done via your plugin or via the emailing service ?

You are welcome.

N, it is not possible. I am not saving the emails anywhere, so I cannot check if the receiver is a specific email.

I am trying to keep the plugin in line with GDPR, so I am not storing any personal information.

Hi, this is the main support area.

1. So, eCards is using images uploaded to your Media Library, so it is compatible with the Divi theme. If you use the [ecards id=”1, 2, 3”] shortcode, you can use it anywhere, using any theme.

2. It cannot do that, unless you use custom CSS in your theme. There is no option to do that, although I agree it would be nice to have an option.

3. No. The message is private, and it only goes in the email. I’m not sure how saving the message on the server would work, while protecting the privacy of the messages.

4. The ID is the ID of the image in Media Library. If you open any image in the Media Library editor, you’ll see the ID in the URL.

Regarding number 2, I will add it to the list, and I may include it in the next release.

Hi! Thanx for answers. 1. Please visit 123Greetings.com and send a ecard to yourself, to see how to make ecards plugin properly. 2. About privacy. 123Greetings.com puts every message on custom URL, so only sender and receiver can see it. Do the same.

Hi, you’re welcome.

This is a WordPress plugin. It doesn’t have to work the same as 123Greetings.

Hey Andy!

This is not a plugin feature. Changing from scheduled to published is a WordPress feature. Make sure your CRON is working properly.

I will also double-check on my side to see if everything is working as it should.

If you can code that, I would happily add it to the plugin. I don’t think it’s possible, though, as the plugin is coded in PHP and Messenger is a separate app.

https://blog.dontsendmeacard.com/new-feature-share-ecards-to-whatsapp-and-messenger.html

Like I said, if you can code that, I would happily add it to the plugin. I am open to any contribution.

It is not possible, though, using PHP and/or JavaScript.

I don’t know how much a developer would ask for in your region.

If you can’t find a local one, I suggest Envato Elements, maybe.

I will ask in freelancer.com. Aren´t you interested in modfying the plugin, add Paypal payment again and I pay you?

No, I don’t do custom development work. I stopped a long time ago. I’m only fixing bugs and keeping the plugin up to date

Hi, yes that is correct. Pro only active.

No errors in the log reference ‘ecards’.

I tried this plugin on a fresh install WP and the same issue occurred.

Can someone help resolve this? O explain how I get a refund?

HI, I managed to get this working. Is there any way to set a custom ‘From name’ for this plugin? It would be idea if emails arrived from the recipient not the website

Yes, you can use any of these plugins: WP Mail From II, YaySMTP or Post SMTP.

I don’t know, I don’t use WooCommerce. I assume you need a payment gateway.

Also another thing. Your categories are horrible. why are there no categories? why can’t I add new e-cards through through the new menu, you should make it so you can just click new , then e-card, so you can actually add e-cards? whats the point of a e-card plugin you cant add new e-cards or categories to?

First, there are no categories for eCards.

Second, you upload images to your Media Library, and then reference them by ID. All images (posts, pages, custom post types) have an ID. So, when you want to create a new eCard, you create a post or a page, and add the shortcode.

Third, if you want categories, you create posts (with categories) or pages (with child pages) and categorize your eCards like that. Hope this gets you on the right track.

I need to create a step-by-step tutorial on adding eCards.

Hi Laszlo,

I have sent myself an eCard and it worked. What do you mean by “doesn’t work properly”?

Hi Ciprian,

I tried out the method I read in the comments about image IDs. It works. Without that, it doesn’t work on the posts.

Thank you for the response!

It probably doesn’t work because the images are not attached to the actual post. This is the new block editor behaviour. With image IDs, it will always work. I’m glad you fixed it.

Sure, there it is – https://getbutterfly.com/faq/how-to-use-ids-for-specific-ecard-images/

True, sounds good. It would help with spam. I’ll put it on my list.

The eCards are private, so you don’t need to turn off comments.

However, if you really want to do (technically speaking), you can duplicate your single.php or singular.php template to single-ecard.php, and remove the comments code.

ok I have created single-ecard.php now how does the card know to use that template? Build the eCard Collection on the same template?

This is a WordPress feature. The eCard is a custom post type, and you can override post types by creating templates, such as:

• single-post.php
• single-page.php
• single-ecard.php
• single-product.php

And WordPress will automatically pick these up.

OK, clear. Good to know that now. In that case I only have this issue left: Emails are being sent from the Diagnostics tab via the Test wp_mail() function, however no emails are sent when doing it from the page itself….but a succes message is triggered either way: https://bcrgs.com/cards-of-courage

Try to install Post SMTP plugin (free) and check the email log to see the send diagnostic. It will probably give you the reason.

I have just sent an eCard to myself right now, and I received it instantly.

Yes, you can add text, that will appear in the email. When you open the eCard image, you can’t see the text, though.

So is there no way to add different text per image? Seems like I can only do one set of text for all images, is that correct? Similar to a regular card where the images say one thing and text can be added to it as in the text inside a regular card? So birthday wishes vs christmas wishes?

The cards are images only, and the users can add their customized message. So, you can keep the eCards images generic, say birthday vs Christmas, and let the users add their words.

Ok, I’ll try

Okay, it works, but I realize that’s not what I need. Thanks for the support Greetings from Italy

Okay, no problem!
