How To Show Donor Comments On The Donor Wall With Shortcode?

    Two questions actually.

    I am setting up a donor wall on a giving page and I am doing it with a shortcode.

    Is there somewhere with a detailed list of parameters and options I can look? (I am NOT a developer, so when I say “parameter” I mean things like “show_avatar” below, and when I say “options” I mean things like “true” or “false” below).

    I found things about shortcodes in the documentation, but there were examples, but no comprehensive list.

    [give_donor_wall show_name="true" show_avatar="false" orderby="??" show_comments="true" columns="1"]

    I have two questions about that shortcode.

    1) What are the available options to put with “orderby?” Even better, is there a comprehensive list somewhere?

    2) Do I have the show_comments parameter setup correctly if I DO want donor comments to show? Because they are not showing on my site.

    Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

    Hi, @thirstyjon.

    Glad you reached out. I can clarify what you can use on the GiveWP Donor Wall shortcode.

    1) We are working on updating our documentation to include all the options available for you when using this shortcode. Meanwhile, you can use either DESC or ASC for the orderby attribute.

    For an easier way to customize your donor wall, you can use the Donor Wall Block. It already displays all the options available for you.

    Learn more about it here https://givewp.com/documentation/core/blocks/donor-wall-block/.

    2) Yes, you are correct. However, we are facing an issue that donations made using Stripe or PayPal Donations are not displaying the comment on the donor wall. While we work on a fix for it, the workaround is to go into the donation edit page and press Save. The comment should show after saving. Please try that and let me know.

    ?Please let us know if you have further questions or need additional assistance!

    Howdy @matheusfd

    Thanks for your reply.

    Interestingly, the orderby attribute is like this in the sample on the GiveWP website: orderby=”donation_amount” (The sample about midway down this page: https://givewp.com/documentation/core/shortcodes/give_donor_wall/ )

    So I am a bit confused that you are saying the options are only desc or asc

    What I want is for the donations to just show up in the order they were made.

    Regarding the donor wall block – it was failing badly in some way (as in, not working at all) so for the sake of time (I just wanted to get the site up) I am using the shortcode. I don’t remember what was happening. When the shortcode worked I moved on rather than try to debug that.

    I am not asking for help with the donor wall block right now. It won’t work for me.

    I do hope y’all get the donor comments fixed as Stripe and Paypal are probably the only processors available on a free account and those comments are a great part of a donor wall.

    Hi, @thirstyjon.

    You are right. I’ve confused both parameters. Here are the correct ones:

    Property | Options
    orderby: post_date, donation_amount
    order: DESC, ASC
