Hi,

I am using the paid version of the TotalContest plugin, and I would like to display submissions in a random order each time the page reloads. Is it possible to achieve this, perhaps by modifying some PHP files?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,
Ladislav Pfeffer

The image is not displayed. In the block configuration of the gallery I add an image and when I update it disappears, it is not saved.

Hi,

I’d like to purchase the pro version, but get an error: the page automatically created by PhotoContest has x3 the full contest table inserted: once in the menu, once on the main part of the page (that’s the normal one), once on the footer ??

Any help for that ?

When I use the shortcode to insert the contest in any page –> no problem, plugin works well … which lead to a related question that could also solve the one above: can we avoid to generate that additional page ? … which is just redondancy + complexity with other plugins like SEO and sitemap

Hey TC

I thought of using this in a slightly different way and wonder if it does that out of the box?

• Entries – Can TC integrate to Google Drive / Dropbox folder and map (not import) entries from there. All jpg or webp get’s entered into a “competition”. Alternatively import images from dropbox on a per week basis. And maybe after some time delete this weeks entries again.
• Integration – Can you time the Dropbox-go-get-images to fx tuesday at 24:00 (GMT -7 for instance) and then categorise this batch as 2024 > Week 1?
• Taxonomy – Can it grab IPTC and Exif stuff imported with MLA Media Library Assistant, so that we get Title, Caption, Shoot date, GPS location, ISO, Shutter, Aperture etc as we want it to display on the frontend?
• Geolocation – If we grab the GPS info. Does that integrate to Geo My WordPress, so that we can display all or filtered images as shoot locations on a Google Map. Optionally even shoot orientation/direction if available?
• Frontend – Can you remove the frontend entry form entirely, so that you land on the grid view only With no entry form.
• Frontend – Can you restrict access on a user basis. Fx on a user basis as Jury…
  Frontend – Can you timer release the results. Fx 12:00 (GMT +3)
• Release – Can you publicise a count down for the release and use time as per user setting time zone?
• Can you somehow push fx 1, 2, 3 (setting backend could be 10) to a new folder in dropbox / G Drive on a given time fx friday (GMT -2)
• Can you somehow push best in show? best 50 frames on a setting basis fx from one or more categories back to Google Drive / Dropbox. So both Winners 123 and also a pool of best in show in it’s new folder on a given time?

There’s probably more tweeking, but just wondering if you see these ideas ready to go, or could see them implemented some time near future?

I tried the demo, but I will need to demo on our install and have a good idea of roadmap, in order to consider this at all.

Finally, what are restrictions for free version first hand. Number of entries, Number of competitions etc.

Thank you

Hi! We have been testing out the free version on our startup business. We run an Instagram tagged photo contest, manually select the best three and then manually create entries for a contest. We only want public voting.

Last month the voting ran fine, but this month we received tons of duplicates (which we can resolve an a pro version with IP blocking). Upon sifting through the duplicates, it became clear that there were tons of IP addresses within a number or two of each other.

Are there ways to combat this on the voting side? Like reCAPTCHA or the likes?

Thanks!

Is it possible to get a preview of an image when uploading it for submission? Now you can only see the image name, dimensions and size. Thank you.

How do I edit the single contest template? Also, how do I set the default colors for the plugin as a whole? I don’t want to have to change the colors every single time I enter a new contest.

Pls is there anyway I can have a Search feature for voters to search list of contestants?

When sharing the contestant link, the thumbnail and meta description do not appear. However, when I change the permalink to “Plain” in the permalink settings, the thumbnail and meta description are displayed when sharing. If the permalink is set to “Post Name,” the thumbnail and meta description do not appear. The link provided below does not display the expected content: https://dasarahallinews.com/cute-baby-photo-contest/?cid=6688&cac=submission&ctx=page&cm=1&sid=6693. I would like to have the permalink set to “Post Name” while ensuring that the thumbnail and meta description are displayed when sharing on platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook. Kindly provide a solution for this. Thank you.

Hi, looks like a great plugin so far!

I’d like to display the votes count (e.g. in each user’s profile), means the total number an user received on all submissions.

Is this possible with your plugin or can you help with such (useful) feature?

Is there a shortcode to display all contests?

Hey there !

Got a problem, when I click on a submission to see the details or when I update the sort conditions the shortcodes are displaying as shortcode. Its like ajax inserted shortcode are not loaded until I force a page reload manualy. How to bypass this problem ? Already try disable Elementor and I dont have any cache plugin.

Captures:

Also it is possible to check the submited video by clicking on it ? Like I dont want to go to a new page each time but to show like a “lightbox” poping-up.

Thanks

Hello! I would like to create a photo contest in which only people who submit an entry into the contest are allowed to vote in the contest. Would this be possible with the TotalContest plugin? Thank you!

Everything is up to date in my installation. The following applies to any browser, and it’s a security risk for my site.

When any user of any level is logged in while visiting any page, if they type /admin in the browser’s address bar to get to dashboard, they get to the dashboard and see,

“Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/customer/www/liltrucks.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/totalcontest-lite/src/Admin/Bootstrap.php on line 253

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/customer/www/liltrucks.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/totalcontest-lite/src/Admin/Bootstrap.php on line 261”

I have the Pro version of Total Contest. The REST API has no documentation and I am not getting a response from your support.

Please provide details / instructions how to format the POST API submission for an image and for the logged in user data. Please provide postman.com screenshots with these working

Please advise how to change the development domain the Pro version is activated on to another development domain.

I saw in the forum someone else asked this question, but the resolution was handled via support chat. the test submission for image contest upload is not displaying in the submission area.

NEVERMIND – I located the settings and it works perfectly.

Hi,
at “Contest” -> “Submissions” -> Submission title, there is {{id}}, which outputs the ID for the respective submission.
Is it possible to display the value of the first text field there instead? Or any other value from the form?

Kind regards

Hi there,

I am busy building a cute baby contest website, and use the Ultimate Membership plugin to control the membership part of the website.

I would like the registration custom fields created with Ultimate Member to pull through in the backend together with the custom fields created with your plugin. Is this possible?

The reason I need this is to know the member who entered their baby into the contest.

Thank you,

Ryan

Hi, great plugin, I’m test running the plugin in preparation for a contest. However, the images I submitted are not previewing on the front-end. I can’t see the images submitted

Under the Settings…Contest…Submissiion…Submission preview…I selected Upload Image (upload_image)

Under submission view, what should i select as source and fallback?

If there’s a full setup tutorial that solves this, it would be well appreciated, thanks

Hello
I have a translation problem. We have your options to translate from the panel .. but the problem is when I want to translate Prizes or Terms as I can not from the plugin and I can not with Loco Translate.

I hope your help if you are so kind … thank you ..
the error in loco translate is that it does not find the file totalcontest.po

Rich text format displaying page with html code.
It is not displaying the text in proper format upon submission.
I have complained several times .mailed support but my issue is not resolved. If I have to depend on a third party app why I bought this plugin at all
