    I’m having serious issues with getting this plugin to work. I followed the instructions mentioned, created 2 pages with the required info. Encountering the following:

    -Saving info on the wp-greet menu item is not working. It’ll save the changes I’ve made once and then reset everything (except the first two options).
    -Connecting the NextGen gallery to the form worked once, and I haven’t been able to redo it since. If you press a thumbnail it will only direct towards a full-size image.

    Also, I would love to have only one page where you can select the thumbnail you want, instead of having to click back and forth to make your selection. Haven’t been able to get that to work either.

    This is the testsite I’m using right now.

    Hi,

    can you tell a bit more about your setup please.
    Which version of wordpress,wp-greet and NGG do you use?

    Can you set the permissions to send a card to everyone, so I can have a look at your site.

    Thanks, Hans

    Hi Hans,

    Thanks for your reply. I’m using:

    -WP 3.8
    -WP-greet: 3.9
    -NextGen: 2.0.40

    All very recent versions. Like I mentioned, all changed options reset after a while (sometimes they reset directly after updating). So there is no way for me to set the permissions any other way.

    For some weird reason the gallery images are now reffering to the form again. I haven’t made ANY updates or changes since posting my initial topic. Also, the default sender seems to be uneditable (I set it once and now it won’t update any more).

    It really is a pity because this is the only plugin I found so far that has what I need… If it would work.

    Ah okay, that’s the reason. Unfortunately Photocrati disabled wp-greet support from version 2.x on. I wrote to them but never got an answer.

    wp-greet works with WordPress native galleries, with NextCellent gallery (this is a fork og NGG v1.9.13 or you have to patch NGG.

    I you like to send me an admin account for your site and I will setup wp-greet for you. You find my email at https://www.tuxlog.de.

    Thanks for the offer, but right now I’m only trying to get this to work on a test domain. I need to be able to re-do it on another website later on.

    I did install the NextCellent plugin and a fresh install of wp-greet. It seems to work as it should right now, even with the images above the form. It does what I need it to do, which is very pleasant. I do get a few PHP warnings now, saying certain pages can’t be loaded. It’s not affecting the functionality of the plugin but I would like to fix it before installingen it on my client’s website. One of them is:

    Warning: fopen(/home/atcreatetest.nl/www/caet/wp-content/plugins/wp-greet//../nextgen-gallery/nggallery.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/atcreatetest.nl/www/caet/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3666

    And others are similar. Can you explain this? Did I forget anything with the fresh install?

    Great it works so far. Yes, I know about this warning. It is fixed in the next release. You can just comment the line 182 in wp-greet.php
    add_action('admin_notices','wpg_fix_broken_ngg_hint');

    that should do the trick.

    I checked the file (my wp-greet.php only goes to line 169) and found that that line is already in there. Any other solutions?

    Plugin Author tuxlog

    (@tuxlog)

    Yes, please comment it. Place // before the line or remove it.

    Ah apologies, read that wrong. Works now!

    hello-love your wp-greet and have been using it on a large site for about a year or more, no problems, people use them alot on this spiritual artist’s website. have it customized beautifully. It suddenly stopped sending the emails, everything else works…our site was put on a restriction recently as it was using too much space (another issue which was resolved, no more restrictions) and seems to coincide with ecard problem not sending mail…could there be other things I should check out that would suddenly do this? I am using 3.2 and also tried update 3.9, set to inline image/SMTP, cannot get any to send mail…suggestions? Here’s a link to the ecard page: https://touchdrawing.com/ecards-td/selected-ecards-td/
    thanx

    hello,

    well, mail issues are still difficult to debug
    Maybe you can do the following and return the results.

    Set mail to php mail in wp-greet admin dialog
    Send a card
    Check if the mail was sent in your inbox
    Check the server logs if there are any log entries which give an error or failure during sending the mail

    I suppose that you receive emails from your WordPress installation, e.g. update notifications or comment notifications. If this does not work its a general problem with your WordPress setup.

    Next step would be changing to smtp mail again and please check and double check the entries in phpmailer-conf.php.

    Use a local address of your domain and no gmail or yahoo addresses since they sometimes have strict rules for sending mails.

    I just sent me a card from your site and it works. Only the email seems to take some minutes (~10) to arrive.

    Seems to work again. ??

    thanx tuxlog – turned out to be a new security setting the host made without notifying us, just had to add a smtp user and password to phpmailer-conf.php, now works like a charm…great plugin! and I tried them all!
