Recent update removed live account merchant ID…
by acjohnson1985·1 year ago·5 replies

One of the recent updates (1.4.0 or 1.4.1) somehow cleared the live account (non-sandbox) merchant ID causing my site to have broken donations without notifying me… I restored from backup for now until I found a better solution…

You can’t deactivate!
by darleenac·2 years ago·1 reply

I tried for a few hours to deactivate this plugin and some of the ways I saw online seemed unsafe to me, so I didn’t do it. I found a plugin that will allow you to disable the plugin on pages that’s called “freesoul deactivate plugin“. It doesn’t actually delete the plugin though. I saw that this has been happening for a few years on old posts and no fix has been made. This should not be on wordpress plugins if you can’t remove it. I would report this plugin if I knew how.

Plug-in doesn’t work. Can’t deactivate. Can’t remove. Try something else.

Works as Intended but Can’t Deactivate
by gregorytoscano·2 years ago

I wanted to test this plugin to see if this is the one I wanted to go with and it worked as expected. I want to test out another donation solution and I can’t deactivate this plugin without getting a WordPress Critical Error prompt. No issues deactivating other plugins.

Can’t Add Class to Button Wrapper
by agon024·3 years ago

The plugin puts a DIV around the button form and doesn’t give you a way to add a class to it. Pretty simple to incorporate this. Posted the question on the support forum and after seven days still havn’t gotten a response.
