Hallo Asiri,

Fijn om te horen dat je de plug-in met veel plezier (hebt) gebruikt. Het toevoegen van meer betalingsproviders staat al een tijdje op onze planning. Na het lezen van je bericht heb ik Tikkie’s API bekeken en het lijkt erop dat het mogelijk is om dit te koppelen. Ik ben momenteel bezig met een paar andere updates voor Kudos, maar wanneer dat klaar is zal ik kijken om Tikkie toe te voegen als betalingsprovider.

Vriendelijke groet,
Michael

Hi sneakerlove,

Just to let you know, I sent you a couple emails over the last couple weeks and some of them bounced back so not sure if you are getting them. If you email me an alternative address then we can take things from there.

Mike

No problem, please feel free to mail a screenshot to me at [email protected].

I doesn’t have all the same options as the official button block, but I only sent that link so you could see how to change the text on the button itself. Am I correct that that is what you are struggling with?

When you place the Kudos button it will already have the default text on it (Donate now). If you click on that text a cursor will appear allowing you to use your keyboard to change it.

The Kudos block works the same way the official button block works, have a look here for a video on how to change the text:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/buttons-block/

Changing the font at the moment isn’t officially supported however it is possible to do using css:

/* Heading text */
[id^="kudos-donations-"] .kd-font-serif {
     font-family: Georgia, serif !important;
}

/* All other text */
[id^="kudos-donations-"] * {
     font-family: Arial, sans-serif !important;
}

Hope that helps!

Hi sneakerlove,

Thanks for getting in touch. You can change the “Donate now” text, and how you do so depends on whether you are using the shortcode or the block.

For the block all you need to do is select the text directly in the block editor and type what you want it to say.

For the shortcode you will need to add the button_label attribute in order to change what button says. For example:

[kudos button_label="My new button!"]

At the moment it is not possible to add an image to the donation form, if there is more demand for that feature we can consider adding it later (thanks for the idea!).

Hallo ajmedia-team,

Bedankt voor uw bericht, wat vervelend om te horen dat Kudos niet goed werkt op uw website. Ik heb de plugin op uw website bekeken en ik kan zien dat de stappen om te doneren niet verder gaan dan de sectie “Bericht”. Ik kan dit probleem niet repliceren, dus ik denk dat het een conflict is tussen de plugin en de website/thema/andere plug-ins.

Eén ding kan meteen voorstellen: u zou de de instelling “Modal in footer” in kunnen schakelen onder het tabblad “Help”. Dit kan vaak helpen om conflicten te voorkomen en zal hopelijk uw probleem oplossen. Als dit niet helpt, zou ik u willen vragen uw Kudos-instellingen te exporteren (onder het tabblad “Help”) en mij het bestand te sturen zodat ik uw instellingen kan repliceren om te testen. Deze kunt u sturen naar [email protected].

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Mike

Hi Wouter,

Just a quick message to say that we released a new version of Kudos Donations today. In this version we have made many improvements and also implemented a few features you were asking for.

– You can now add a donation form without a button
– It is also possible to choose a custom color within the settings page
– We have made many optimizations including reducing the number of files

In the next version being released soon there will be spam control features such as a honeypot field etc.

I’m curious what you think of the changes!

I also noticed a problem on your website but rather than discussing it here feel free to email me using the contact form on our website: https://kudosdonations.com/over-kudos/

Kind regards,
Mike

Hi GWoman,

Let us know if you are still experiencing any problems, we want to make sure this plugin works smoothly.

Kind regards,
Mike

Hi GWoman,

Thanks for getting in touch. I’m sure we can figure out what is going on!

Could you let me know what logs you are referring to? Are these your server logs, WordPress logs or the Kudos logs?

Kudos should be relatively light on resources so if there are problems causing your system to crash it is either a bug with Kudos or something else.

I’m happy to look at the logs and help figure out the cause of the issue, whether it is Kudos or not.

Feel free to email me at [email protected]. If the log file is less than 2MB then you can attach it to the email, otherwise I would use WeTransfer just in case.

Kind regards,
Mike

Hi Wouter,

Please note that I cannot officially support using Kudos in this way, but I’m happy to show you how.

You can use this to disable the loading of Kudos related scripts and styles on anything but single posts. Just a quick note, The non-kudos libraries (particularly jquery-validate) are fairly common and this could cause problems if you have other plugins installed that use them (and use the same handles for them).

// Dequeue Kudos Donations assets
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function () {
    if ( !is_single() ) {
        wp_dequeue_script( 'kudos-donations-public' );
        wp_dequeue_script( 'micromodal' );
        wp_dequeue_script( 'jquery-validate' );
        wp_dequeue_style( 'kudos-donations-public' );
    }
}, 100 );

While IE is definitely a main reason for using polyfills, there are many other browsers that need them too, particularly older mobile browsers and Safari. Polyfills can also used to fix certain outstanding bugs even in modern browsers. It’s up to you to decide if supporting these browsers is necessary for your website, but I would ensure you thoroughly test everything after disabling it.

Good luck,
Mike

Hi Wouter,

I am really glad you like the plugin and thanks for your suggestion.

I have spent a lot of time optimizing this plugin, removing unnecessary css rules, reducing dependency on jQuery and using Webpack to minimize all the assets (js, css, images, fonts). Doing this while maintaining compatibility across different websites and browsers can be a tricky task, especially since older browsers do not support modern techniques and formats. For a comparison, embedding a single YouTube video will bring with it over 500kb of JavaScript and 50kb of css just to load the player.

For compatibility reasons WordPress will often enqueue the wp-polyfill.min.js file to maximize compatibility, this is not something I recommended removing as it could break your website for some users.

WordPress also insists that you do not bundle your external JavaScript libraries (micromodal, jquery.validate in the case of Kudos Donations) to ensure that these can be cached by browsers across websites so that users do not need to re-download them if they already have them.

The reason that the resources are loaded on every page is because a modal can be shown on any page by using the custom return URL and therefore the resources need to be on hand to display it correctly. I am already looking into a way to prevent this in the future as I agree it is not ideal.

Plans for future:
– Remove jQuery as a dependency (not urgent since WordPress will still load this for now anyway).
– Workaround for resources loading on pages where Kudos Donations is not present.

However, while taking into consideration the points above I do consider this plugin to be very lean as it is.

Please keep an eye out for updates.
Mike

No problem and glad it is working. Good luck with your donations!

Mike

Hi larsliked88,

I hope the above solution has worked for you. I am marking this as solved for now but if you have any other questions please feel free to open another topic and I’ll be glad to help.

Mike

Hi larsliked88,

I have had a look at the page on your website with the button. The problem is not really with either divi or Kudos but more just a clash which is causing some of the content to appear over the modal. The cause is down to a css rule known as z-index. I will look for a way to avoid the clash in a future update but for now as a fix you can add the following css to your theme (use customizer under the appearance menu in WordPress):

.et_pb_column {
   z-index: unset;
}

To change the alignment of the button you can add the following to the shortcode:

alignment="right"

So for example your shortcode might then look like this:

[kudos campaign_id="default" alignment="right"]

Let me know if that fixes your problems.

Mike
