Hello, the doors are not published automatically. We have scheduled them to be published at 00:00 on each day of December 2025, but for the second day in a row the doors did not publish automatically. (Today there was a note in red “missed scheduling” (“Verpasste Planung”).) We now have to manually publish the doors. Why is that?
Hi there, if you get the missed schedule error it might be that the cron is failing due to other reasons. Can you try this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/missed-scheduled-posts-publisher/? That should work!
Thanks for the tip. I will try it.
Update: The third door has now been published automatically. The solution appears to be the mentioned plugin that ensures a working cronjob. Thanks for your help.
Hi friends. Its not working any more. I disabled all third party plugins, but the “door”, for example for today (1.12.) is still not opneing. Amy idea?
Found the problem. It was an issue with the publish date. I had to set it to this year, now it works.
Great. Thank you!
Hi there, I am looking for a plugin with advent calendar so yours should be fine.
However, I have a question: can I translate it into Italian? I mean, does it support .po and .mo archives?
I think so because I see WPML mentioned but the website will be in Italian only.
Thanks
Hi there, yes it supports .po Translation and WPML. 
Thanks. My customer bought it at my suggestion 
Hi,
I’ve just installed SantaPress (Regular License).
The website is multilanguage; i.d. the questions and answers should be in German, French and English. Is there any extension to translate the texts or something similar? Or how am I supposed to handle this issue? Notice: I use Polylang and Polylang themes strings….
Any idea will be welcomed
Thanks in advance!
Bettina
Hi Bettina, WPML is officially supported but I think that Polylang should also work (you should be able to translate the “door” posts).
Hi on Friday 20.06.2025 22:57 I’ve bought SantaPress – WordPress Advent Calendar Plugin & Quiz (Regular License) via Envato Market. I got the confirmation of the purchase paid with PayPal. Unfortunately I cannot download the plugin since it is still on the cart; as if it were not yet paid. I first wrote Envato but they told me to contact the author. Can you please help me! I need the plugin asap! If you send me an email, I can send you screenshots of the confirmations. Here a couple of infos: My user name is bettina53 by Envato Market I’ve paid $42.00 USD an Envato Pty Ltd, Transaktionscode: 4HF77285862519048 Rechnungsnummer:cdffebd2ebfe419ea6adef1fa9390410 Transaktionsdatum: 20.06.2025
Thanks in advance! Bettina Costa
Hi there – I’m having a problem with my Day 2 door not opening. It says “Published” and yet it’s not opening. I made sure it’s the correct year, etc, and I even tried dates in the past, with no luck.
After reading some of these past comments, I’m hoping it’s an issue with caching, so I’m checking in with my host. But if you have any other ideas on what could be happening, please let me know!
Disabling the caching for that page fixed the issue!
Yay!
Moin,
Ist es Möglich, dass man relativ schnell Support erhält, da morgen bereits der 1. Dezember ist. Das Plugin funktioniert bei mir wirklich gar nicht…
Als Administrator kann ich die Tür öffnen, wenn ich allerdings beim Kontaktformular auf “Senden” klicke, werde ich zum Admin Bereich weitergeleitet.
Weiteres Problem: Als Gast, öffnet sich das Türchen weder bei Opera, Safari noch Firefox. Auch Mobile funktioniert es nicht. Das Türchen öffnet sich zwar, kommt aber weder ein PopUp noch ein neues Fenster, je nach Einstellung. Zum testen habe ich extra den ersten Tag heute gestartet. Auch bei Freunden funktioniert es nicht.
Woran könnte das liegen?
Bitte um eine, wenn Möglich, schnelle Rückmeldung!
Beste Grüße Tobias
I need to get an advent calendar up asap. I bought the deals calendar plugin back in 2019 from here. It looks very like this plugin. Are they the same plugin? This year the deals calendar is not displaying on my Divi site 
If I buy the SantaPress plugin and I cannot get it to work what is the refund policy? I am not interested in the quiz. Just need to be able to link to Products in an online shop. Thanks
Hi there, not sure about the deals calendar (it’s not the same). SantaPress works with Divi. Please check if SanatPress can be used for its intended function and purpose (check the item description) before buying. If you need help let me know! Thank you 
Hi, thanks for getting back. I am on WordPress 6.1.7. Is this version supportede? I think SantaPress will meet my requirements.
Yes it is compatible with WordPress 6.1.7. 
Hi, a couple of quick questions:
Firstly, you linked https://gist.github.com/flymke/882b0c0bcbb95fe8ba3d34d638cb2b58 and https://gist.github.com/flymke/c840f5c3a44aa2d93d4d8ed553bd343f for code to make the previously-opened doors “stay” open – where do we add this code? Is it within the plugin settings, or the plugin files?Secondly, I’d like to change the colour of links in the text on the modal popups for each day. I assume this is a case of adding code to the custom CSS in the global settings?
(To clarify on the second point, the links will be the same colour across the days, not different colours daily!)
Hi there, can you please send me an email (including your purchase code) to envato@halloecho.de. Thank you!
I’m only a contractor, so don’t have one – I’ll enquire with the owner though!
Hi there, I have updated the plugin from version 1.6.2 to the newest version 1.7.1 and now there’s a problem. When I revert back to 1.6.2 the problem is gone. So there seems to be a bug in the newest plugin version.
The problem is the following: On small screens (and also when resizing the browser window) the content of a door (popup) is not fully scrollable. Inside the popup I can scroll all the way down to see the content, but I can’t scroll all the way up. The top part of the content is cut off. When I revert back to the old plugin version (1.6.2) the same door/popup is fully scrollable. For now, the solution is simply to use the older plugin version. But it would be great if in the future this bug could be fixed.
Hi there, many thanks for your feedback! There were some changes to the modal in the newest version which could have led to this. We will check this and probably fix it in the next release (1.7.2). Mike
Hello, can I use Elementor for the Modal? Thanks Lars
Hi Lars, no sorry that is not possible atm. 
When I try to disable the snow overlay in the settings, it moves the modal below the advent calendar and to the bottom of the screen. Any way to get around this? Perhaps a CSS override?
Hi there, actually that is a known bug but a fix is about to be released today (or tomorrow at the latest). I will let you know when it’s ready. Otherwise please contact me at envato@halloecho.de and I can send it to you directly.
I would like to guide my calendar visitors to first sign up for our newsletter before they can open any advent slots. Do you have a good solution or idea for this?
Hi there, I have to think about it. I’ll get back to you asap.
Can I ask which newsletter system you are using? I
If you are using mailchimp, you can set up a signup form using contact form 7 (and another plugin called cf7-mailchimp). After the user has signed up you can send use a redirect on the confirmation page (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/u2o66Jjn_rE) to redirect your user to a custom end page.
This way you are good with double opt-in.
I am sure other newsletter have similar functions.
For all other days you can create a newsletter campaign (signup to get all days). I am sure returning visitors don’t want to give you the information twice.
Hope that helps!
Great idea, I think this is what I need! Thank you so much!
Hallo, bei mir öffnet sich kein Popup, wenn ich eine Tür anklicke. Egal ob AJAX oder iFrame. Was kann ich tun?
Siehe E-Mail. Lg 
Ciao! Avrei delle domande prima di acquistare il plugin:
1. è previsto o si può impostare un blocco per l’apertura delle caselle? es. se non è stata aperta la casella 1 non si può aprire la 2
2. I contenuti interni possono essere completamente personalizzabili con frasi e grafiche?
3. è possibile avere qualche traccia di quante caselle vengono aperte e da chi?
Grazie mille in anticipo!
Salve,
1. No. È possibile disattivare solo le porte passate. Non è possibile impostare una condizione per aprire le porte. Ma: è una buona richiesta di funzionalità. Se vuoi, posso fornirti del codice personalizzato per ottenere questo risultato. 2. Sì, è possibile personalizzare il contenuto con immagini e testo. Tuttavia, alcuni plugin potrebbero non funzionare nella modale. 3. Santapress tiene traccia solo dei clic, non salva chi ha aperto la porta. Tuttavia è possibile utilizzare js personalizzati (ad esempio google events). Se si desidera tracciare i singoli utenti (WordPress), ci sono alcuni plugin wordpress che funzionano, penso che questo qui https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-stats-manager/ funziona.

Hello, is it possible to now show a quiz? I just want to show some Custom Text or present a voucher or product? Can I embed Shortcodes in the text fiel? I think about making a global Template via elementor and embedded it? And is it possible to just open the current day? (past ones remain closed). Thank you! 
Hi there, yes you can disable the quiz completely and just use your own content. The text fields come from contact form 7. Can you let me know which shortcodes you want to use? You can also disable past doors. Cheers Mike
Hello, I am Florent and I manage a website on the theme of Christmas, I bought your plugin and works very well but I have a problem because I made in “Door Categories” which is called slug “calendar -2024” and unfortunately cannot display only the 24 elements of the 2024 category. Can you explain or provide me with the code that I must add to the 2024 advent calendar page? Thank you/ Sincerely, Florent
Hi Florent, can you try the ID of the category, not the slug? You can find the ID either in the URL when you click on the door category in the backend or with a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/reveal-ids-for-wp-admin-25/
I get the following warnings in my dashboard:
AH01071: Got error ‘PHP message: PHP Warning: Undefined variable $quiz_html in /var/www/vhosts/webpage.de/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/santapress/public/class-santapress-public.php on line 553; PHP message: PHP Warning: Undefined variable $quiz_html in /var/www/vhosts/webpage.de/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/santapress/public/class-santapress-public.php on line 553; PHP message: PHP Warning: Undefined variable $quiz_html in /var/www/vhosts/webpage.de/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/santapress/public/class-santapress-public.php on line 553’, referer: https://webpage.de/adventskalender-2023/
Hello, how can I prevent santapress from destroying the other modals on my site? The faded black screen covers them on the other pages and resizes. Thanks!
It appears to just be overriding all of my previous CSS built via bootstrap. I was able to disable the .blocker that was just on top of the original one, but I’m hoping there is a faster solution to separate the two.
solved
Hi,
I already used this plugin last year, and then the only way to change the font was to enter this code:
@import url(‘https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:ital,wght@0,100;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,700;0,900;1,100;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,700;1,900&display= swap’);
But Roboto is a google font and now I want to use a custom coorporate font. I use Elementor pro and I added these fonts there, and if I enter that font in the css codes, it shows well for me, but not for other users others computers. Is there any way to import this so that it is visible to everyone?
Thank you. Lilla
HI Lilla, sorry for the late response. We have ticket board now: santapress.ticksy.com. Anyhow if you have embedded a custom font in Elementor you should be able to use it directly without @import in your css / SantaPress. You need to add font-family: “Elementor font name” to where you need it. If you want, send me a link to envato@halloecho.de so I can check it out? Thank you!
Thank you for your answer. I send a mail. Lilla
