Subject: Urgent Support Needed – Sorting Issue & Login Problem

Dear Development Team,

I am experiencing an issue with the purchased product. Unfortunately, your support system does not work for me. I am unable to log in using the magic link – the system does not recognize my email address.

Anyway, I urgently need support now. I’m using your plugin for a client project, but the gallery view sorting is not functioning properly. It appears to sort randomly and not by the submitted title.

Please assist me urgently with the following:

A) How can I get in touch with your support team, given that the login is not working? B) How can I configure the plugin so that the title sorting works correctly?

Thank you very much in advance.

Kind regards, Stephan

Follow-up: Sorting by Custom Field (Club Name)

Dear Development Team,

I just realized that the “Title” field used for sorting is not my custom field. I actually need to sort by a custom field called “Vereinsname” (Club Name), which is submitted by the user.

Is there a way to sort the gallery view by this custom field instead of the default title?

Alternatively, is it possible to automatically generate the entry title in the format: {vereinsname}-auto-title-number, so that users can still find their team easily when sorting by title?

Any suggestions or workarounds are highly appreciated.

Best regards, Stephan

Have you tried your plugin with the Avada theme?

Not really, but it should be compatible with any theme.

You may try it out and if anything doesn’t work, shoot as a message via our customer support :)

Does the plugin create a new post type for contest entries? I am wondering because I would be interested to know if you are using a WordPress blog structure so that I can use the entries as dynamic content as part of a carousel or hero section.

Hello Stephen,

Yes. TotalContest creates the contest itself as a post type and submission/entry is also a custom post type by itself.

Can your plugin be localized? I want to run a contest in Mexico, so am wondering if your plugin is multilingual or comàtible with WPML?

TotalContest is following the standard localization of WordPress. So you should be good to go :)

Best,

Author, I believe by now there should be a pay-to-vote system on the plugin. You have an amazing system here, but when there is no pay-to-vote with payment gateways like PayStack, Flutterwave, Tranfer, Stripe, and Paypal, it makes the plugin not a full taste. Please can you do that on the coming update?

Hello filynz,

We believe we have replied to your ticket about this case, please check your inbox.

Best,

I get, what I try to know is that if I purchase the pro version of the plugin, do I still need to purchase the woocommerce addon separately?

You won’t need to buy any add-ons separately when you buy the pro package on our website.

I found the plugin interesting and would like to clarify a few questions.

Can I enable star voting for any type of file?

Is it possible to have a ranking system?

I have a PostType with all my employees, and I want to allow only them to submit files. Is that possible? Is there any integration with GravityForms (this would solve my issue)?

I want a jury of 11 people to evaluate the submissions by assigning scores to each one. Is that possible?

Last question. Can I assign specific categories for each jury member to vote on?

Sorry for so many questions.

Thank you!

Hi there,

Can I enable star voting for any type of file?

Yes, you can enable the star voting for submissions only.

I have a PostType with all my employees, and I want to allow only them to submit files. Is that possible? Is there any integration with GravityForms (this would solve my issue)?

TotalRating suits your use case better. It allows you to create a rating widget and attach it to one or multiple post types.

I want a jury of 11 people to evaluate the submissions by assigning scores to each one. Is that possible?

It’s possible to limit the rating on a specific role (assuming that every jury has a different role).

I hope this answers your questions! If you need any more clarification, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Regards,

Is there a pay per vote option?

Hi there,

Not at the moment.

Regards,

Hello great author! Important presale Question, please may I know now if there is a pay to vote feature nowon the TotalContest Pro?

2). Based on the membership role voting, can i have it split in tiers like given voting access like: User Role A can cast 10 votes, Users Role B can cast 5 votes, User Role C can cast 1 vote per voting session?

Hi!

Thank you for your compliment :)

The features you mentioned are not supported yet in TotalContest. The limitation by membership does not cover different voting quotas per role.

Regards,

I checked out your demo site (photo contest) and noticed that once i voted for an image, i was not abel to vote for another one? Are user allowed only to vote once? I also did not see swiping or navigating between he images except selecting them from the gallery. Am I missing it or is this not possible?

Hi there,

That’s configurable in the contest settings, and you can allow users to vote per session, per category, per IP, etc.

As for the navigation, there is an option that allows you to open the submission in a modal mode with arrows to navigate back and forth…

I hope this answers your questions!

Regards,

What are the addons ? It says on top of your item description “bundle does not include add’ons”, but then what are they (not listed here, not listed in your website) ... and if alone, that’s not a “bundle” ;)

Hi there,

There are a few add-ons that come with TotalContest:

1. Comments for submissions. 2. Migration of contest cross websites. 3. Voting form custom fields. 4. Random submissions sorting. 5. REST API. 6. Submission approval notification.

Regards,

Hello .. I love your plugins .. I am thinking about buying, as I am looking to create a contest website with different categories of social contests.

1. Does your plugin allow me to create categories of different contests?

2. Can I allow my users to submit and run their own contests?

One of your competitors already have both of these features (in an addon) .. as both features I definitely need for my site. I wanted to see if you have these features (even in an addon) before I decide which one to buy.

Thank you.

Hi there!

Thank you for considering our products!

1. TotalContest supports categorization per contest. The contestant can categorize entries during submission, or an admin can do it from the back office.

2. That’s not supported by default in TotalContest. However, you may create a role with access to contests only, and it should work just fine because contests are posts, after all.

I hope this answers your questions! If you need any more clarification, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Regards,

Is it true that the social sharing functionality only works if the submissions are not displayed in modal view?

Yes. The modal view is not the default method to show submissions, but if it is chosen to be used, then you can’t share the submission because the modal view removes the idea of a submission page.

I am considering to buy the plug-in, but I would like to know first: A) Is there a way to display the number of votes a user has left (given there is a limit set)? B) Would it be possible to let a user change his mind later and undo a vote to give it to another submission? C) Can I duplicate a contest? Thanks!

Hello flogee,

Thanks for your interest in TotalContest.

A. You can display the number of votes the submission have received, but not the number of votes the user have given so far.

B. Unfortunately this is currently not possible.

C. Yes. With any post duplication plugin on WordPress repository.

Best,

Hello, the “Preview submission” is not working after update. Please have check. Thank you!

Hello,

Regards,

Hi there,

Hello,

I’m interested in buying plugin, but before that, I have some questions (some may look, like I don’t read description, but I prefer to be sure about that plugin.

Compatibility: - > Is it compatible with Divi Builder? If not, can I just past the contest form in HTML on some pre-made page in Divi, to save the constant layout of the website? - > Does this plugin have nice login page with possible disabled possibility to login via google/facebook etc. or creating new account? Or I have to use another plugin for simple login?

User side: - > User is participant and voter in one login? - > Is there possible from user/participant point of view to first: – > users first fill-up bank of image/text/videos (not possible for them to see other’s works) – > then user can vote in e.q. another page from that bank (only vote, not seeing how much point have someone at that moment. For example, they see whole collected bank of videos, they check them out, then select one to vote – vote, then they can’t see collection of works anymore). Then see result of contest in another page. – > If it’s impossible, can I hide previous contest, so users can’t add votes after, let’s say, end of month? - > Can this plugin recognize, that specific user already participle in, let’s say, contest #4 and block him/her from creating content/voting? I want them to do one shot per contest, not spamming.

Creating contest: - > Can I run multiple type of contest (for now I’m thinking about monthly contest in type: photo+text; video; text alone, and maybe audio contest)? Not at the same time. - > Can contest block and hide itself, when it’s reach time limit? - > Separated pages with nice layout for contest, voting and result per contest. E.g. contest #4, voting #4, result #4. - > Can I do summary of all point of participant with theirs names? - > Does this plugin have a nice result page for specific contest, that user can see at the end of a specific contest? (and possible, to count totally point through all contest?)

Hello, it’s again me.

Is there a button to go back to gallery from view of a specific submission? Right now I’m testing [totalcontest contest=”contest-id” screen=”contest.submissions”], and I can’t go back to gallery.

Hi there,

On submission view, can I disable div class “totalcontest-submissions-toolbar-items” and “totalcontest-submission-stats” somehow? That would solve my needs for users to not see how many specific submissions have points.

You can craft your template so you have full flexibility over the elements.

If “totalcontest-submissions-toolbar-items” is impossible to disable, can I select by what user can sort submissions?

Yes, you can select the default sorting. Also you can change the available sorting options using WordPress filter (dev skills needed).

Is there a button to go back to gallery from view of a specific submission? Right now I’m testing [totalcontest contest=”contest-id” screen=”contest.submissions”], and I can’t go back to gallery.

You can use the back button of the browser to go back, or you can also enable the modal mode so you won’t leave the gallery at all.

I hope it helps! If you need any more help, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Regards,

Hi again,

Where can I add this button, that allow to go back to submissions, but stayed inside gallery? It’s in paid version?

Regards

Hi, 6 years ago you mentioned adding “repeater” fields. Did this get implemented?

Or just allow conditional fields?

Hi jaidenfk,

Thanks for reaching out.

Unfortunately that feature did not get chosen by our product manager to be developed due to the lack of demand from the current user base.

We usually develop the products according to the needs of the customers taking into consideration the priority of features that need to be implemented.

Hello team, A presale question. Can I set it in a way that a jury is voting and not members themselves? Members/users/guests will just post stuff, jury will vote. Is it possible?

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out!

Yes. TotalContest allows you to set who can post submissions and who can vote separately. This allows you to allow only the jury members to vote on the submitted items by everybody else.

Best,

Product Inquiry: Does your product suite come with a leaderboard for my members who vote?

Can you display the username and avatar image? I would like to be able to see on the front end which member’s submission it is.

Hi sevenseconds777,

Very sorry for the late reply. We had an issue with the comments notification system.

This is not possible unfortunately. However, if you decided to purchase, please contact us again and we will be happy to assist you in adding it.

Best,
