@matheusfd, sure I can explain you my exact use case, and how could I see valuable this functionality. Hope it’s also valuable for the GiveWP plugin product as a new feature as well.

I’m running this fundraiser for my parents health care needs in US https://donate.elvismdev.io

However, the Humanitarian Parole Program through where they would be coming, might be paused or canceled in the following days or weeks (hopefully not) because of circumstances beyond of our control.

If that were to happen, it would change the primary and sole objective of the fundraiser, help pay for health care related expenses for two elderly persons coming to US from abroad.

For full transparency, clarity and keep interested donors informed, I would need to communicate this unfortunate change of course. In that communication I might also explain other ideas, actions or strategies we will be trying to follow. Since the use of the funds for health related expenses will not be needed to use immediately now, but still they might be good for another time in the future, I would also inform this to donors as part of the fundraiser communication strategy. On that note I would also want to let them know that if preferred, their donated amount can be requested to be refunded by themselves from their donor portal, or by a “click on this link” action in the same email.

In short, I would want to avoid myself manually processing refunds “on-request” for every donor who asks for it, and instead give a more convenient option by deferring this action up to the donor directly on the website or through some special link so if they want to do it they can process it by themselves.

Thinking this can be a configurable option at the donation form settings level that can be enabled / disabled as needed.

Happy to hear your thoughts around this. I’m aware that this might be a new feature on the plugin to implement.

Thanks!

Hi again @stephanieliy ,

Clicking on the Venmo button from Desktop does work and opens up that modal, yes. However when scanning the QR code from the Mobile phone I got the REF: 501 error from my screenshot above.

Tapping on the button directly from mobile reproduces the same issue.

I have contacted and my host (Linode) and inspected the server logs and none of us were able to find out 501 errors.

Will keep investigating and changing things out on Cloudflare to check if there is the culprit of this error.

Hi @stephanieliy ,

This was resolved after installing the php-intl extension and restarting my server on Linode.

sudo apt-get install -y php-intl

Hello @stephanieliy,

I’m a developer myself, so we can be technical here. This WP site is not running any caching plugins so far, it’s a brand new build, hosted on Linode and with Cloudflare managing this subdomain: https://donate.elvismdev.io

I have been inspecting the PHP server logs and cannot find yet this 501 error instance.

Do you think Cloudflare could be related to this issue here? That’s the only caching layer I can think off, other than the built-in cache from GiveWP itself.

Is there any way this ^ GiveWP cache can be temporarily disabled so I can run a couple of new tests?

Thank you,

Hello Rick,

PayPal Donations is now enabled back again on the form. It was disabled for a quick demo with the client. You should now be able to reproduce the issue as initially described above.

I have also checked up under Donations -> Tools -> Logs and there is no error reported related to this issue.

Thank you!

Hi Rick, thanks for your reply.

Just to make sure I’m in the right direction, could you share with me where inside the PayPal Account I can verify if it’s connected to the PayPal commerce platform and have the permissions set to display card fields directly on the page?

Thank you!

I’m having the same experience in a fresh new WordPress install. Woocommerce PayPal Payments are correctly configured, active as the only payment method and connected to the PayPal sandbox account. However on the cart or checkout pages it doesn’t show expected buttons. Only this message:

“Sorry, it seems that there are no available payment methods for your state. Please contact us if you require assistance or wish to make alternate arrangements”.

@glaxton Let’s say you’ll want to override the template file located inside the plugin at wp-content/plugins/shortcodes-for-buddypress/templates/nouveau/members/bp-shortcodes-members.php.

Copy that file to wp-content/themes/[your-theme]/shortcodes-for-buddypress/nouveau/members/bp-shortcodes-members.php and the plugin will load that one up from there.

See the template loader function: https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/shortcodes-for-buddypress/trunk/public/class-shortcodes-for-buddypress-public.php#L209

@wickedplugins thanks for check-in! We can close this now.

It would be handy to have a filter that allows to do this in a future release.

Same problem over here. We just installed the plugin, added a couple of questions and created a basic page with the Display FAQs block on it.

Then on this page we have first two PHP notices, and then down below it starts the listing of the questions.

@cornershop The warning is gone now. Thanks for your quick action!

@cornershop The error is due to changes in the preg_replace() since PHP 7.3.

This article describes it: https://nabtron.com/error-compilation-failed-invalid-range-character-class-offset/

Based on that your developers will know how to fix the instances of preg_replace() used across the plugin code base.

You welcome! Glad that worked out ??

I’m looking for the exact same feature here in this plugin so we can fire a full cache purge after each code deployment. Is this something the plugin devs can implement in the near future?

@markusfroehlich That fixed it! Will you be applying this in the next plugin update?

Need to make sure the site won’t lose this fix if the plugin gets updated.

Thanks!
