Description on bank statement

Hi Tarlin,

Thanks for the question, at the moment that text cannot be changed however your suggestion makes a lot of sense so I will consider adding it to the next release.

Depending on the demand I could first add a filter that could be used to change that text so that advanced users / web developers can easily change it. Later it could be added as an option in the menu somewhere for more casual users to change.

Are you familiar with WordPress filters?

Kind regards,

Michael

Thanks for considering it, and glad to have pointed it out then. I am familiar in the sense of being able to implement and use filters and hooks. Spitting through the entire plugin code to figure out the entire issue might be a bit too much though.

Quick extra question if I may…the plugin doesn’t seem to work with the GMail SMTP server (I’m guessing because of the extra GMail API stuff required). Any plans to implement that?

Hi Tarlin

You wouldn’t need to edit the plugin to use the filter, that would be my job :-). You would only need to add a simple hook to your themes functions file to make use of it. I’ll try to remember to update this thread once it has been implemented!

The reason Gmail doesn’t work is most likely because they no longer allow for simple username/password access to their services. In order to use them I need to either implement their OAuth api (not currently planned for Kudos Donations as there are many plugins already available specifically for email you can use, this might come later if there is demand) or you could generate an app password. I hope that all makes sense. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Kind regards,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the reply, and I’ll await the implementation then!

As for the email, there already is a SMTP plugin in place that handles the email, but the Kudos plugin doesn’t seem to pick up on it. Not sure why though. I guess I’ll try and find another mailserver then.

Hi Tarin,

That’s interesting, in order for it to work you need to have Kudos’ SMTP setting disabled, otherwise it will try to use Kudos when sending emails. I have to admit the current email service in Kudos could be better and has already undergone a large refactor in the current alpha version (Kudos 4), which will be available in the next major update hopefully to be released before the end of the year / January.

Kind regards,

Michael

Yes, I did indeed disable the Kudos SMTP setting. And I’m well aware that email functionality can be a real pain, so I’ll figure out a temporary solution until a new version is out.

I’ll keep an eye out for any updates, and thanks again!

Tarlin

No problem and thanks for the feedback!
