This is actually a good suggestion for improvement to the plugin. It probably makes more sense to take the users to their newly created campaign page instead of leaving them on the cause page. I will look into adding this for the next version.

I have not tested this plugin with Buddypress Multisite, so I don’t know if it would work there.

As far as Paypal is concerned, this plugin is designed for the funds to be collected to one account, not multiple accounts. Where those funds go are dictated by the paypal settings in the Personal Fundraiser settings.

That page doesn’t seem to exist on your site. What do you mean the form appears under your template images?

This plugin isn’t really designed to do this. You can set an end date field by creating an end date field type in the Personal Fundraiser settings.

A couple of questions here:

1. What version of WordPress are you using?
2. What theme are you using?
3. Does you site use a language other than English? If it is English, can you load the following file on your site?
   /wp-content/plugins/personal-fundraiser/js/jquery.validationEngine-en_US.js?ver=1.7

   If you are using a language other than English, then you need to copy this file to a filename that corresponds to the language you are using. For example, if you were using German as your WordPress language, you could copy this file to jquery.validationEngine-de_DE.js.

Taking out the validation of the URL isn’t recommended because if someone has already created a campaign with the same url entered, the new campaign will actually end up with a different URL.

What version of WordPress are you using? Also, is your WordPress site in a language other than English?

Copy the file from /wp-content/plugins/personal-fundraiser/js/jquery.validationEngine-en_US.js to
/wp-content/plugins/personal-fundraiser/js/jquery.validationEngine-en_GB.js. This will take care of the error.

This plugin does require that users are registered in order to create campaigns, but they are not required to use the WordPress dashboard at any point in interacting with campaigns. The plugin has its own registration screen so that there is no need to interact with the dashboard.

/wp-content/plugins/personal-fundraiser/js/jquery.validationEngine-en_US.js?ver=1.7

A good place to start would be to look at the sample cause created by the plugin. Assuming you have left the personal fundraiser options set to their defaults, if you navigate to /causes/sample-cause/ on your site, you should see a sample cause that you can fill out to create a sample campaign. One thing to keep in mind with this plugin is the concept of causes and campaigns. Think of campaigns as fundraisers and causes as templates for fundraisers. You use a cause to define what a fundraiser will look like and what fields it will collect from users who are creating fundraisers. When you navigate to a particular cause (eg /causes/sample-cause, this is the screen where your users will fill out the information about the fundraiser they want to create.

The [pfund-campaign-list] shortcode is intended to display a list of fundraising campaigns. There currently isn’t a way to embed a campaign within another page.

The plugin does not have an integration with Facebook.

There is no way to link directly to the login/register forms in the personal fundraiser plugin. Those popups are intended to be used within the personal fundraiser plugin workflow (eg your users create a campaign before logging in and then they get the prompt to register or login).

That error message you are seeing is a problem with your theme, not the Personal Fundraiser plugin.

At this point, the progress bar can only be shown on the campaign pages by using the [pfund-progress-bar] shortcode in your cause.

The Personal Fundraiser plugin tries to deliver the validation script in the language of your install, but it is missing the file for your location. To get around this problem you can copy the file js/jquery.validationEngine-en_US.js to js/jquery.validationEngine-nn_NO.js (assuming you are using the norwegian translation of WordPress).

Those filters are optional filters that can be applied on your site if you have some reason to override the default email behavior. By default there is nothing that uses those filters. I would check the campaigns to see who is assigned as the “author” of the campaign. It will send the email to that user if they have an email address which they should. If for some reason a campaign doesn’t have a user/author assigned to it (eg the campaign hasn’t been approved), then the email won’t send.

Yes, that is exactly how it works. Create the cause in admin and then your users create fundraisers (campaigns) from that cause.
