Testing

  • So I attempted setting up Give sometime back, and all seemed to work, and now back to testing months later, and in IE and Firefox, for test contributions we get ‘Error: You must login or register to complete your donation.’

    I take it this means somewhere there’s a setting that you must have a (WordPress) account on our site. I don’t get the error message when I login using WordPress credentials. I can’t recall or find 1) is this a really good idea to require a login and 2) if it’s not really necessary for the casual donor, how do I turn the requirement off?

    Also, there’s no error message in Chrome. The contribution goes right through (whether logged into WordPress site or not).

    Thanks!

    Err, never mind about Chrome. Same error message. Actually was still logged in.

    HI there,

    Thanks for coming back to test Give again. Go into edit that form and you’ll see a section called “Form Display Options” and one of the options there is “Disable Guest Donations”, make sure that is NOT checked and you’ll be all set. Additionally, below that option is the “Register/Login” option. Set that to “None” as well.

    Donations do a lot of different kinds of work for different organizations. So while generally speaking most sites won’t want to have the login/register enabled, for some it’s vital. Generally though, the default for both of those options is to have them off completely.

    Thanks!

    I actually found the settings soon after I posted, but then didn’t find time yesterday to reply to my own post. As expected, I found “Disable Guest Donations” unchecked, as I remembered I had done but not where I had done it. The problem resolved when I disable the “Register/Login,” so apparently Register/Login overrides Guest Donations. Just out of curiosity, but not because I want it at this time, I would need to link to a login page or module to facilitate optional login for the end users, correct? And this is why the option for history based on email identifier alone was put in place?

    Great plugin. Glad to see it developing. Thanks for your response!

    Glad you got it worked out. Just to clarify, when you have “Disable Guest Donations” disabled, and “Register/Login” enabled, then you’ll see the Register/Login on the donation form but it will say “Optional”.

    If you’re enjoying Give and appreciate our support, we’d love a kind review from you here:

    Thanks!

    Yes, it did say optional next to the login, but it threw the login required error message except when logged in. I guess this could be a conflict with some other plugin or possibly a cache somewhere. It was not the behavior I expected from “optional.”
