Buy Me a Coffee – Button and Widget Plugin

Beschreibung

The Buy Me a Coffee WordPress plugin makes it easier for you to accept donations from your blog, website, or project visitors and encourages them to become your paid supporters.

The widget allows your supporters to make payments then and there without having to leave your site, and the button takes them directly to your BMC page from where you can accept one-off donations as well as sell extras and memberships (yearly/monthly) to your visitors.

Tried it on two of my sites. First one, it failed to activate, multiple php errors. Second one it installed, but the widget couldn't be placed where i wanted it, so it was behind things, the button never showed up anywhere. Then I noticed it hasn't been updated in months and is untested with the latest version of WordPress. I uninstalled it on both sites.

The plugin broke the config on the theme. Worked using a shortcode.

Tested this plugin with the commercial Fox Theme. Of all the plugins I have used on this site – including those with far greater complexity – this is the one that messed up my site design. It displaced the background, so that it started at the widget level (rather than at the header; it placed a cup image/icon in the footer, covering up the cookie consent button; and, atop that, had a truly limited set of customization features (no chance to customize that the color of the button or its font to match the theme design). Removed.

This plugin doesn't follow Wordpress guidelines of code ethics. It might break your website.

Shame. This looked like an ideal plugin. But it doesn't accept payments. I have both Stripe and PayPal accounts. I attempted to connect them both, but when I tried a test payment, both options fail. I worked through a number of changes, nothing worked and there is no support 🙁 Good luck getting it to work, I hope you have more success
