eCards Lite

Description

eCards is a WordPress plugin used to send electronic cards to friends. It can be implemented in a page, a post or the sidebar.

There are two ways you can use this plugin:

1. Add the shortcode [ecard] to a post or a page.
2. Call the function from a template file: <?php if (function_exists('display_ecardMe')) { echo display_ecardMe(); } ?>.

If your images are already uploaded and they are present in your Media Library, use their IDs to display them:

[ecard id="1, 2, 3, 4, 78"]

The IDs correspond to images in your Media Library. This feature eliminates the need to manually attach images and also eliminates the need to upload the same image multiple times, just to have it attached to different posts or pages.

Reviews

PRO Version of Plugin does not work and has no support!

renebrungs December 3, 2018

I bought the PRO Version of this plugin two weeks ago. It does not work with the current WordPress Version 4.9.8. I contacted support several times (which is only possible by email and even that was made extra hard to find) and did not get any reply. I wish i would have read the other bad review before buying it. Will try to get my money back.

Compatible with the latest WordPress version

I paid for the e card version and it advertised paid support for 1 year. It was impossible to get support on this paid for plug in and by consequence I had to sweat thru all the steps and got my version in late for Xmas !!! very disappointed K Imbert
