SIMPLE UPDATES
Share updates about your fundraising campaign
Share updates about your campaigns and display them in a widget, with a shortcode or a PHP function.
Charitable Simple Updates adds a new tab called “Updates” to the advanced campaign settings box, allowing you to write about any developments in your fundraising campaign.
Display updates with a widget
Simple Updates comes with a super simple widget that you can drop into any of your theme’s widget ready areas.
Just open up the WordPress Customizer and add the Campaign Updates widget where you’d like it. You can choose to show updates by a specific campaign or limit it to the campaign currently being viewed. You can also choose to completely hide the widget if there are no updates to show.
Display updates with a shortcode
You can also add the Updates to any content area using the [campaign_updates] shortcode. In this example, we have added the updates to the campaign’s extended description:
![Adding the [campaign_updates] shortcode to the campaign description.](https://www.wpcharitable.com/wp-content/uploads/edd/2015/08/Screen-Shot-2015-08-18-at-3.46.19-pm-1024x701.png "Adding the [campaign_updates] shortcode | Charitable")
Integrate it with a PHP function
If you’re comfortable writing a little PHP, you can integrate updates with a simple PHP function.
charitable_simple_updates_template_campaign_updates();
