Donors Shortcode

The [charitable_donors] shortcode allows you to display a list of donors to one or all of your campaigns on a page. It uses the same frontend template as the Donors widget, so its output is similar — it just provides you with flexibility to show the Donors in different spots.

Parameters

  • number Number of donors to show. Default is 10.
  • orderby May be date, donations or amount. Default is date.
  • order May be ASC (ascending order) or DESC (descending order). Default is DESC.
  • campaign May be set to the ID of a campaign, current to display the donors to the campaign currently being viewed, or all or 0 to display donors to any campaign. Default is 0 (donors to any campaigns).
  • distinct_donors Only show unique donors. May be set to 0 (don’t show distinct) or 1 (show distinct). If a donor has donated more than once, they will only appear in the list once, with their donation amount calculated based on all their donations. Default is 0.
  • orientation May be vertical or horizontal. Default is horizontal.
  • show_name Whether the name should be shown. May be 1 (show) or 0 (don’t show). Default is 1.
  • show_location Whether the donor’s location should be shown. May be 1 (show) or 0 (don’t show). Default is 0.
  • show_amount Whether the donor’s donated amount should be shown. May be 1 (show) or 0(don’t show). Default is 1.
  • show_avatar Whether the donor’s avatar should be shown. May be 1 (show) or 0 (don’t show). Default is 1.
  • hide_if_no_donors Whether the shortcode should display anything if no one has donated yet. May be 1 (hide) or 0 (don’t hide). Default is 0.

Plus, if Gift Aid is activated and on version 1.1 or above, the following setting is available:

  • show_gift_aid Whether to display the Gift Aid amount for the donation. May be 1 (show) or 0(don’t show). Default is 0.

Improvement New Security

📣 New Security Features

We’ve introduced a suite of new security tools to give you total control over who accesses your forms, plus a new way to tidy up your database.

Advanced Security Suite

Layered protection: Cloudflare, ReCAPTCHA, IP Controls, and Rate Limiting.

We have overhauled our security settings to stop bots without blocking real donors.

  • 🤖 Flexible Protection: Choose between Google reCAPTCHA v3 or the privacy-first Cloudflare Turnstile to block bots invisible.

  • 🚦 Rate limiting: Stop spam floods by limiting how many submissions an IP address can make in a set timeframe.

  • 🛑 Total control: Use the new IP Blacklist to block bad actors instantly, or the IP Whitelist to let your team bypass checks during testing.

The Clean Donation Tool

Go from “Testing” to “Live” in seconds.

Finished setting up your site and need to get rid of all those test transactions?

  • 🧹 Sweep it clean: Bulk delete test donations and donor records with a single click.

  • 📉 Accurate reporting: Ensure your revenue stats are 100% accurate for launch day.

  • ⚙️ Reset sequences: Automatically resets sequential invoice numbering.
