eCards Lite – Christmas, Birthday & Thank-You E-Cards

Descrición

eCards Lite lets your visitors pick a card, write a message and email it to a friend, straight from any post or page.

  • Pick card images visually in Settings eCards Lite Shortcode Generator, drag them into order and copy the [ecard] shortcode.
  • Seasonal email themes: Christmas, New Year, birthday and thank you.
  • Spam protection built in: a hidden honeypot field, a limit of 10 cards per hour per visitor, and optional Akismet checks.
  • Emails include a plain-text version and use the visitor’s address as Reply-To, which helps them reach the inbox.
  • Accessible form with proper labels and status messages.

There are two ways you can use this plugin:

  1. Add the [ecard] shortcode to a post or a page.
  2. Call the function from a template file:

    if ( function_exists( 'wp_ecard_display_ecards' ) ) {
    echo wp_ecard_display_ecards();
    }

If your images are already uploaded, and they are present in your Media Library, use their IDs to display them (in that order):

[ecard id="1, 2, 3, 4, 78" theme="christmas"]

The IDs correspond to images in your Media Library. This feature eliminates the need to manually attach images and also eliminates the need to upload the same image multiple times, just to have it attached to different posts or pages.

Preguntas frecuentes

How do I add eCards to my site?

Create or edit a page, add the [ecard] shortcode, and publish the page. Visitors can then choose a card, write a message, and send it.

How do I choose which images visitors can send?

Upload your images to the WordPress Media Library. Use [ecard id="1, 2, 3"] with the image IDs you want to show, or use [ecard] to use the plugin’s normal image selection.

Can I use my own greeting card images?

Yes. Any suitable image in your Media Library can be used as an eCard. Choose clear images that look good at the size you expect visitors to see.

Where do I change the email and message settings?

Open Settings > eCards in your WordPress dashboard. You can review the sender details, labels, and other options there.

I bought the PRO Version of this plugin two weeks ago. It does not work with the current WordPress Version 4.9.8. I contacted support several times (which is only possible by email and even that was made extra hard to find) and did not get any reply. I wish i would have read the other bad review before buying it. Will try to get my money back.
