Of course I know that Seamless Donations is no longer supported, and it is recommended that we move to giveWP. I am currently evaluating my options to get off of Seamless Donations. However, in the meantime the seamless donations shortcode (i.e. ‘seamless-donations’ in square brackets) has quit working in WordPress 6.5 and above. Normally the page with the shortcode shows the donation forms. Now, no forms show at all on the page, as if the shortcode wasn’t even there. I am wondering if other SD users have seen the same problem, and can give a hint on how to fix it. I submitted a ticket to the SD support website (separate from this WP website), and the SD developer (David Gewirtz) told me that he can’t help me. So, I’m wondering if any other users out there have an idea how to fix this.

]]>Hi,
Is it possible to prefill the form field values using URL parameters?
I have a pre form where I ask how much the person wants to donate. Once validated, the person is redirected to the page where the “Seamless donations” form is located and I would like the amount chosen previously to be filled in.
Thanks.
]]>Dear Sales person/support team
1- I would like to buy this plugin for our new donation website. My most concern is the data transfer from my old website. These data include user profile and donation transaction. Can this plugin import data easily and without any damages? What is your suggestion for transferring data?
2- I also want a registered user access to all campaign with a single user profile.
Can this plugin provide these for me?
I am looking to here from you.
with regards
Amin

The comment indicates that we want to do this without the assistance of WordPress but sanitize_text_field() is a WordPress function. As a quick fix to get this working, I am including wp-load.php to get the missing function. To get this to work without WordPress, you’ll have to choose a different function.
]]>Hi
If we use Paypal for recurring payments, does this mean the user needs a Paypal account, or can they setup a Direct Debit on their debit card? Or would I be better off using Stripe for recurring pyaments?
Do you have an example of a demo form that has Gift Aid on?
Cheers!

]]>I have a series of strange entries in my Donations page.There are tons of entries with no information. No name, address, or even donation amount. A friend to whom I recommended the plugin is having the same issue. Can you help please.
]]>Hello David,
Thank you for the plugin. It’s great.
However some parts of the form remain in english and not translated in french. The pot file is 100% translated.
And the modification I have made on the .pot file are working and reflecting on the form. But for some reason, some strings remain not translated.
I tried to move the translation files in other folder as suggested by Loco translate but with no success.
Have you some suggestions for me ?
Thank you

Hi this looks like a great plugin but what I am after is something very simple for my sidebar which would basically look like this:
Share the Load
Donate Button
Which once pressed would open to the page you show in the tutorial, is this doable, you have a simple button on your sidebar opposite the video.

Hello,
My donation website page appears to be working but the only thing the the donations result page in the dashboard is showing is the timestamp. I have checked a number of things including resetting the permalinks page and redoing the website page form. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Julian
Is there a shortcode or add-on that would display the total donated for a particular fund? I’d like to have some sort of message that says “we’ve raised $X so far thanks to your generous support” or something like that.
thanks,
]]>Hello, I recently took over a site using this plugin. Every time the plugin sends the notification that the plugin needs updating – the plugin malfunctions. It stops working on the front end. It never makes it the the PayPal screen, just a white page. People wanting to donate are getting frustrated. I cannot stay up all night 24/7 waiting to see if a plugin update is going to be pushed and then deactivates. Is there any reason why it is doing that. After the update, the plugin will work again. But deactivating a part of the functionality by pushing that update notification is really getting old. If it does it again, I’ll need to instruct the client to find another more reliable plugin.
]]>I get the following 2 errors when activating the plugin for the first time.
Warning: Use of undefined constant DGXDONATEPAYPALSTD - assumed 'DGXDONATEPAYPALSTD' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /path/to/public_html/wp-content/plugins/seamless-donations/seamless-donations.php on line 637
WordPress database error: [Table 'wp_seamless_donations_audit' already exists]
CREATE TABLE wp_seamless_donations_audit ( option_id bigint(9) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, option_name varchar(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', option_value longtext NOT NULL, autoload varchar(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'yes', donor_email varchar(128) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', created_on TIMESTAMP DEFAULT 0, changed_on TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, PRIMARY KEY (option_id), KEY donor_email (donor_email), UNIQUE KEY option_name (option_name) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci
First one doesn’t seem like an issue but would produce an error in php8.
Second one is odd. I looked at the DB and the table is there with all the proper fields, so no problems.
It appears as though everything should work just fine, but I wanted to pass the info on to the dev. Looks like it should be a wonderful plugin!
]]>the recurring payment option is distorting the amount that is given by the donor.
When I want to donate 10 kr, your system want to bill me 1000 kr
This is not working. What can be done so that the recurring sum ( in this case 10 kr ) stays on 10 kr while transfering the money?
The thankyou -note and that information ….I could change that into swedish, but how ca I get the form itself to be in swedish?

]]>Hi, has anyone had any experience with either of the recommended form enhancement plugins, Beautiful/Colorful Donation Forms?
I’d really like an idea of the scope of customisation possible – I see that you can change the image, but can you also alter text colours and styles, background colours etc. Suspect there will be a guide somewhere but can’t find it,
Thanks!
The stripe payment page does not load from few browsers and locations while it works fine on other browsers.
Kindly advise if something needs to be changed or enabled in the settings.
