SpeakOut!

Hmmm…no, it doesn’t do that right now, but it isn’t a bad idea.

Currently when someone signs, the petition is sitting waiting to be sent to the target. Then when they confirm, the petition is actually sent. If the person has enabled BCC to themselves, they will then get a copy.

I just had a thought about this, that I could add an option for the administrator that if “confirm email address” is enabled, then it would force BCC to the signer. Would that be useful?

Make sure you have included sendgrid in SPF

G’day. no never heard of this before. What it looks like is your hosting service is using the hostname of the server when generating the link. The first thing I would do is install the WP SMTP plugin so that you have more control over how email is sent. If that doesn’t help, contact your hosting service and explain what is happening. Still no joy? Get in touch with me directly via https://SpeakOutPetitions.com/contact

It should not be possible to find out who has already signed the petition with their e-mail address with malicious intent.

Aha…that makes sense.

This is not possible at the moment, but given that SpeakOut! is used on sites that might be seen as controversial, I can see the value.

However, if an email address succeeds, a “thank you” screen is shown. If an address fails silently, it will still indicate that the address exists in the database as there will be no “thank you”.

If that doesn’t bother you, you could always customise or delete the CSS class.

tell me why you would want to do this. The database can’t hold duplicate email addresses so it seems to me that an error if it is a duplicate email address is useful.

unfortunately the moderator (who I can’t even contact) has warned me in the past. There seems to be an inflexible attitude to this.

Maybe you can offer your final CSS file for others to use ;o)

Thanks for reporting this. However… https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/pro-version-support-10/

Give me a shout via the contact form.

G’day and thanks for your interest. I agree that the current form is a bit dated. I am a coder, not a designer so not very good at that stuff. In the past I have asked people for their style sheet to add it as a resource but no success with that yet :o(

Did you see this? https://speakoutpetitions.com/faqconc/can-i-preserve-custom-css/

Hmm…this may be a bug. I will investigate. It will take some time as I am on holiday right now without access to all my resources.

Thanks for letting me know

In that case you should go to dashboard > SpeakOut! > settings > Display BCC field and check the box to display the BCC option. Then the signer will receive a copy of the petition.

The way online petitions generally work is that when a person signs it, the petition e.g. “Please build a playground”, is sent to the target, e.g. the mayor. The target email address would be the Mayor’s email.

If you don’t want to email the petition when it is signed and only want to collect signature to perhaps print a list and send them all to the mayor at once, then you should select “Do not send email (only collect signatures)”.

Unless you have your email address as either the target email or a CC, you shouldn’t receive a copy of the petition when it is signed.

Does that answer your question?
