Ben

I’m so sorry for not responding sooner. I was able to correct the issue. No idea what went wrong but I uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin and got the option you shared n your screenshot but wasn’t getting it the first time through.

Thank you!

I’m using : https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/kadence-woocommerce-email-designer/

But I also disabled that plugin and the option was still not present.

Well, by all means, update this thread when you find a workable solution because many will find it useful.

I’m not very familiar with what that field will or will not accept so I can’t really help you there I moved on from it before I got that far.

As far as editors.. I use Sublime Text and Visual Studio Code. Both are strong editors.

That would be none sir. I couldn’t get it to work with Elementor or VC (even tried using a VC specific page template as my single-private-page.php file still no options to edit via VC.

You’ll also notice that some of your headers aren’t filtering through either. I spent a few hours working with it and trying to just hand input my styles into the template-page file but who has time for that? I just ditched the plugin and wrote a workaround from scratch because my goal for using the plugin was to save time not invest the same amount of time in a plugin that I would have creating it functions.

I am glad you spoke up though! These Cozmos characters definitely seem to have it together as far as their knowledge goes.. they create some great things but I don’t think they realize that they are a bit out of touch with their customer base or the fact that their description of some of their products is a bit misleading.

I’m not saying its intentional.. it just happens sometimes. But I think it will go a long way if they see I’m not alone in the same complaints I’ve been going back and forth with them on for the past few days.

Creating the [client-portal] shortcode

This is probably the most important functionality of the entire plugin. Once the user is logged in he needs to be able to access his client portal. By default, there’s no way the user or the administrator to create a menu for each individual user.

So instead we’re simply redirecting the user to his individual private page with the use of the [client-portal] shortcode.

Since the shortcode executes in the middle of the page, we can’t really do a PHP redirect without some sort of workaround. So instead we’ve opted for a simple Javascript redirect that should work just fine for the majority of use cases.

Hope it helps!

Yes, you can. It does that very well but it will be in post format and show as if it lives in your blog unless you add the file I mentioned.

[client-portal] is the shortcode I think you are after.

However, if you want a page instead of a post you’ll have to add a page template file named “single-private-page.php” to your theme folder. ( and it still won’t work like the rest of your pages) but it’s an improvement over posts.

Their support (loose term) informed me this morning they will be reworking the plugin to be more in line with the client expectations. I believe the word “bug” was used… solid product, solid work. (don’t hold your breath for their help)

Oh I just couldn’t help myself –

What Pages Are Not

Pages are not posts, so they don’t appear in the time-structured views within a blog section of a website.

that’s from the first page of the WordPress codex.

After getting a reply to my ticket I’d like to retract my statement about the zero stars.

Negative stars should be an option.

Please see my response to your reply to my ticket. I have zero appreciation for your sarcasm and after you read my response I’ll bet you have zero appreciation for mine as well.

Yes. I too have to disable this plugin to be able to use Visual Composer on the backend.

Also since the last update (7days ago) The plugin has stopped functioning and will not accept changes on its settings page.

You are correct sir, I was just responding to an e-mail from you actually. After some further digging I found the conflict to be with the Visual Composer plugin.. NOT wordpress itself.

sorry I meant to be more specific. You’ll find the above code on line 94 of constantcontactwidget.php.

You’ll see how I chose to add placeholders to each field. (might not be the best method as far as DOM is concerned and there may be browsers out there that are behind on supporting it but it works fine for me.)

function sf_constantcontact_form($id,$p) {
	return '<form id="'.$id.'_form" onsubmit="return '.$id.'_submit(this);" class="constantcontactwidget_form">'
		.(empty($p['txt'])?'':('<p>'.$p['txt'].'</p>'))
		.'<input type="hidden" name="grp" value="'.esc_attr($p['grp']).'" />'
		.(empty($p['nam'])
			?('<input type="text" name="eml" class="input" placeholder="'.__('Email').'"/>')
			:('<p><label for="fnm">'.__('').'</label> <input type="text" name="fnm" placeholder="First Name" value="" class="input"/></p>'
			.'<p><label for="lnm">'.__('').'</label> <input type="text" name="lnm" placeholder="Last Name" value="" class="input"/></p>'
			.'<p><label for="eml">'.__('').'</label> <input type="text" name="eml" placeholder="E-mail" value="" class="input"/></p>'))
		.(empty($p['req'])?'':('<p><input type="checkbox" name="req" class="input"> '.$p['req'].'</p>'))
		.'<input type="submit" value="'.esc_attr($p['btn']).'" />'
		.'</form>'
		.'<script>function '.$id.'_submit(n){'
			.'for(var a=n.querySelectorAll("input"),i=0,eml=false,val=["action=constantcontactadd"];i<a.length;i++)if(a[i].name){'
				.'if(a[i].name=="req"){if(!a[i].checked){alert("'.__('Consent required').'");return false;}}'
				.'else{if(!(a[i].name!="eml"||!a[i].value))eml=true;val.push(a[i].name+"="+encodeURIComponent(a[i].value));}'
			.'}'
			.'if(!eml){alert("'.__('Please enter an email address').'");return false;}'
			.'var xml=new XMLHttpRequest();'
			.'xml.open("POST","'.admin_url('admin-ajax.php').'",true);'
			.'xml.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");'
			.'xml.onreadystatechange=function(){if(this.readyState==4){if(this.status==200){if(this.responseText)alert(this.responseText);else '.(preg_match('/^\/\/|^http:\/\/|^https:\/\//i',$p['msg'])?('setTimeout(\'window.location="'.esc_attr($p['msg']).'";\',100);'):('n.innerHTML="'.addslashes($p['msg']).'";')).'}else alert(this.statusText);}};'
			.'xml.send(val.join(String.fromCharCode(38)));'
			.'return false;'
		.'}</script>';
