Oh, they updated their donation form editor to work with the block editor (I personally hate the block editor, yuck.) You will have to learn to use the new block editor. It isn't so bad, here is a link givewp.com/documentation/core/give-forms/visual-form-builder/

Oh yes. This can happen. When you installed the template it would have used all the free widgets. But if you want to customize the design it can often mean you want to use the pro widgets. So you either have to just use the free ones, or purhase the pro plugin. I find, as long as I keep my design simple, I can use the free version for most anything. You could try using a free plugin that gives you more addons to elementor. Something like this may help - wordpress.org/plugins/essential-addons-for-elementor-lite/

Great to hear. Thanks.

Yes, this will work on hostinger, but you may need them to install Wordpress. I never used their services before. If you want to add a store you can use Woocommerce plugin, or digital downloads plugin. Adding e-commerce is not covered in this video, but you can find heaps of info on KZbin.

Hi, Sounds like the page hasn't been created yet. When you go to "Pages" in the lefthand sidebar, can you find your donation confirmation page? It should install when you install the plugin. If it is not there you can try deleting GiveWP and reinstalling it. It could also be a cache issue. Here are two articles I found about this - wordpress.org/support/topic/confirmation-page-not-showing-2/ and givewp.com/documentation/core/frequent-troubleshooting-issues/understanding-troubleshooting-user-access/. If the issue continues to persist just submit a help ticket to their support forum at wordpress.org/support/plugin/give/. Hope this helps.

Hey, so moving your house (your website) requires it to be migrated to a new peice of land (server/host). If your website is built with an open source platform like wordpress then this is fairly straight forward. If your website is made with a proprietory platform (wix, squarespace, etc) - then it can't be moved. Hope this helps.

Hostinger is a hosting company. I think they also sell domains.

Oh that may be a conflict with the theme you have installed. One quick way to check is to go to you Appearance > Themes and activate a different theme (preferably a WordPress default theme like "2022" or some other year. Then test again. If you still get an error contact the GiveWP support team (givewp.com/contact-us/). They are usually pretty helpful.

Those are good questions. You definetly want to have a form that allows CC payment. Some online donation systems will also allow bankwire transfers (ACH). On the same page, give donors information on how mail checks as well. You want to keep it simple, so try to make the instructions clear and straight forward. And best if you can have all the info on one page. Main payment form with ability to pay with CC and in the side bar include info on how to pay with check, how to pay with ACH as well as your contact info.

​@@npally This is incredible helpful Thank you...I am new to this stuff and I have 3 more questions, I hope you don't mind 🙏 1. I am setting up a corporate sponsorship webpage that is built around a charitable cause of helping more people in need. It seems as though many people say I should include a sponsorship package, so I set up a 5 tier perk package. My question is, should I go with the sponsorship route with the perk package...or should I just run a regular campaign which is also build around the same cause.. but just exclude the sponsorship stuff with the package? Please keep in mind I want to approach larger companies in this case. and possible even medium sized businesses. 2. How would you recommend splitting up a large figure for the corporate sponsorship package if the goal is lets say 500k...or even 280k. What would be an amount I can set at the higher tier without scaring anyone in your professional opinion? 3. So as mentioned the webpage is for a cause to help more people in need, and so we need to raise money for a warehouse to do so. The amount of funds needed for this is steep.. The cost of the warehouse is in the millions. So my question is this...Should I list this goal amount on the webpage even if it is in the millions of dollars? OR instead of trying to purchase the building, just try to rent it and so it cuts the cost down to about 500,000. And then should I display this cost as a goal on the webpage. Because correct me if I am wrong but I do always need to set a goal correct? In other words, if the goal amount is high, between 2-500k, should I still display the figure on the webpage?

Hi, I would make it a goal that you feel is achievable. You don't want to be 2/3 of the way through the fundraiser and still be below 50% of your goal. Also, it is good to remember, that a majority of fundraisers that reach their goal will EXCEED their goal. YOu want you supported to feel like they are part of something successful. So keep the goal achievable... something you feel - with a bit of effort - you can successfully get.

@@npally thanks for the quick response! Much appreciated! I am going to be targeting businesses directly and approaching it asking for their partnership. Would you say that I still need to set a time for when it’s done like a campaign. What would be your recommended approach here? I will be reaching out to businesses manually.

@@J0PHIEL Yes, I would still have a deadline. It really makes a difference.

There are a lot of ways to do this. But I do not have any resources on this. Here are some ideas - if you have access to cPanel, you can create emails directly in there. Just do a KZbin search for "creating emails with cPanel". Other than that you can either sign up for Microsoft 365 for Google Workspace. Again, this is worth a KZbin search as both these products can be complex.

@@npally Thank you 😊. I was able to use Hostgator Cpanel since I used it during my initial website build following Steve instructions.

You will have to file with your state according to state law. Every state is different. You do not have to post your tax returns anywhere to show transparency. Though some nonprofits will post quarterly financial statements on their website. But this is not necessarily a requirement.
