Thanks Igor.

Thank you Igor.

Hi Igor,

The Select winner button is now available. It just showed up.

Then after selecting the winner, the giveaway does not move to “Selected Winner”, it stays in “Ended”.
Similar to the giveaway below it.

Hi Igor,

For all future giveaways.

Maybe, but I tried with a different browser, still no name.
For a new giveaway, I set the announce winner to be 15 minutes after selection of winner, maybe that helps.

Ok cool thanks.

Hi Igor,

No, you do not have to include the entry link placeholder.

I was just testing some of the new features, and I tried to combine the password protected option with including a password in the winner email.

Winner would click entry link to take them back to giveaway to enter password and reveal game key.

I get that part about the Activate Link, but does it do anything else, like subscribe to my website? I was wondering if it was like a follow this blog link.

Or if it is like a double-opt in, which can be used to reduce spam?

Hi Igor,

The winner is being displayed again.

Hi Igor,

Status is Selected Winners.
The winner was notified via the plugin and he replied thanking me for the gift.

Igor,

Thanks for the assistance.
I downloaded the WP SMTP.

By using the second type of winning?
“Limited” or “Simple” with “Entries only give a higher chance of winning”?

And how big is this higher chance?

Does Limited affect chance of winning or only limit total amount of subscriber entries?

Thanks.

Hi Igor,

How is work coming on making it totally random?
Because I have users who use multiple email accounts to raise entry count and then the plugin selects them.

So, the highest number of entries is not working for me…

Thanks.

Ok, I hear ya.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi Igor,

Just an option to create a post without the giveaway info.

I was thinking about using it to create full page banners or one off pages which could be included in emails as links.

Cool. I hope it’s possible and not too much to code or mess up anything else.
