Using Shortcodes

After adding your campaign, the plugin provides shortcodes you can paste into any page, post, or widget to display your donation form. There are three ways to embed your campaign:

  • Basic embed — Displays the donation form inline on the page.
    [ideado_donate id="1"]
  • Popup button — Displays a button that opens the donation form in a popup overlay.
    [ideado_donate id="1" type="popup"]
  • Custom size embed — Displays the form inline with a specific width and height.
    [ideado_donate id="1" width="600" height="900"]

Supported Attributes

You can customize the shortcode using the following attributes:

  • id — The campaign ID. Example: id="3"
  • type — Display type, either iframe or popup. Example: type="popup"
  • width — The width of the embedded form. Example: width="600" or width="100%"
  • height — The height of the embedded form. Example: height="800"

Shortcode Examples

  • Full width form[ideado_donate id="2" width="100%" height="700"]
  • Popup button[ideado_donate id="2" type="popup"]
  • Small embedded form[ideado_donate id="2" width="400" height="600"]

Managing Multiple Campaigns

You can add as many campaigns as you need. The All Campaigns table at the bottom of the plugin page lists every campaign you have added along with its ID, name, URL, iframe shortcode, and popup shortcode. You can copy the right shortcode for each campaign and place it anywhere on your site. To remove a campaign, click Delete next to it in the list.
