I experienced a serious issue while evaluating Charitable (Free version). Raised
a support request and was amazed by the response. Very proactive. The issue took
a lot of effort on their part to diagnose and fix. Turned out to be an unfortunate
interaction with another installed plugin. A great first impression. Would highly
recommend these people.

 [Soprano](https://profiles.wordpress.org/soprano/) 27. ágúst, 2026 1 reply

I recently migrated from GiveWP to Charitable after using GiveWP for 9 years and
thousands of donations, which was a significant project for my site. I put off migrating
due to just how time consuming I felt it would be. I saw Charitable was offering
a complimentary migration as part of their plans so I decided to give it a try as
I've had good past experiences with the Awesome Motive family of plugins. I cannot
say enough good things about the support team, specifically David. He didn't just
point me to documentation; they actively troubleshooted complex issues with my caching,
Stripe webhooks, and donation form display, even providing beta builds solving plugin
issues discovered during my migration and custom snippets to get everything working
perfectly. If you are looking for a donation plugin that is backed by a truly helpful,
responsive, and thorough support team, Charitable is the one. They made a daunting
migration process completely manageable.

Charitable’s peer-to-peer features allow us to run a true crowdfunding model. Supporters
can create and manage their own fundraising campaigns, which is central to our website
model. Having used another donation plugin for 4 years, Charitable has proven to
be a clear upgrade for our organization. The combination of recurring payments, 
peer-to-peer campaign tools, solid marketing integrations, and automated donor communications
has made fundraising more effective. If you’re looking for a more capable and modern
donation platform on WordPress, we highly recommend giving Charitable a try.

Love this plugin. Makes it easy to collect donations, run fundraisers, and meet 
the needs of our donors. Scaleable and customizable. Have used it for sports fundraisers,
a capital campaign, and for an annual nonprofit event with over 200 donors. It works
equally well for all. Highly recommend! Thank you!

As the others have already said, Charitable support is amazing! We had some initial
challenges using Charitable with our server configuration, and support was prompt
to find and implement solutions for us. The best support team I've encountered in
a very long time.

## Breytingarsaga

#### Donation Form & Fundraising Campaigns v1.8.13.1

 * IMPROVED: Accessibility improvements across the donation form, covering field
   labelling, autocomplete hints, grouped donation amounts and visible keyboard 
   focus indicators.
 * FIX: Privacy improvements, reducing any unneeded external requests, and adding
   more control over the Share Usage Data setting.
 * FIX: Hardening across the campaign builder, including permission and security-
   token checks on several internal requests.
 * FIX: Minor improvements to Addons screen and setup wizard welcome screen.
 * FIX: Improvements for zero-decimal currencies, mostly on reports and dashboard
   pages.
 * FIX: Donation form errors are now announced to screen readers and take keyboard
   focus.
 * FIX: Donation form improvements related to Google reCAPTCHA and errors related
   to Stripe when confirming card details.
 * FIX: Donate button on a campaign page now carries the donation amount already
   highlighted.
 * FIX: Campaign templates now show a consistent campaign description in the builder
   preview and on the published page.

#### Donation Form & Fundraising Campaigns v1.8.13

 * NEW: Charitable now works with AI assistants. On WordPress 6.9 or later, connect
   Claude or ChatGPT using the free WPVibe plugin, or any MCP client, to build and
   restyle campaigns, log donations that arrived by post, and report on your fundraising.
   Twenty-four operations, all permission-checked. [More Information](https://www.wpcharitable.com/ai/)
 * NEW: Control it all at Charitable > Tools > AI MCP. Write access starts OFF, 
   an AI Activity list records every change and every refusal, and an assistant 
   must confirm explicitly before trashing or unpublishing a campaign that already
   has donations.
 * FIX: Campaign progress bars could show wildly wrong percentages when a goal contained
   separators. A goal saved as „1,000.00“ was read as 1, reporting 30000% instead
   of 30%. On sites using a comma decimal separator, goals with cents read a hundred
   times too large. GiveWP imports were most affected.
 * FIX: Resolved issue when a campaign with a goal but no end date showed no progress
   bar in the Campaigns list.
 * FIX: A campaign end date entered as a plain date, for example 2027-01-31, could
   be mis-read and saved incorrectly in certain scenarios in admin.
 * FIX: Reports, the donations CSV export, and the Dashboard’s date-range dropdown
   and latest-donations list could leave today’s donations out for part of each 
   day, on sites whose timezone is ahead of UTC.
 * FIX: Security: on a page using the [charitable_donate_button] shortcode without
   a campaign resolved issue where a crafted link could run script in a visitor’s
   browser when they clicked the donate button under certain conditions.

#### Donation Form & Fundraising Campaigns v1.8.12.4

 * FIX: Previewing a campaign from the Campaigns list, or more than a day after 
   your last save in the campaign builder, could show an empty campaign. The preview
   now falls back to your last saved version.
 * FIX: Campaign template stylesheets now accept only valid hex characters in their
   colour values, so an invalid colour can no longer reach the stylesheet.
 * FIX: The Preview button in the campaign builder did nothing at all for a campaign
   awaiting review, scheduled, or set to private. It now saves and opens the preview
   as it does for any other campaign.
 * FIX: Campaigns awaiting review, scheduled, or set to private rendered as an empty
   campaign wherever they appeared. They now display for the campaign’s author and
   for users who can edit campaigns, and stay hidden from everyone else.
 * FIX: Security: campaign previews now require permission to edit the campaign 
   being previewed. Previously a preview link could be altered to display a different
   campaign’s content, including campaigns that were not published.
 * FIX: On a campaign preview page, an excerpt of any other post shown alongside
   the campaign (in a posts list or query loop, for example) was replaced by a copy
   of the campaign. Excerpts now display normally.
 * FIX: Previewing a campaign could fail with a memory error on sites running an
   SEO plugin. The preview no longer rebuilds the entire campaign every time a plugin
   asks for the page summary, and the summary it hands back is now the campaign’s
   own description.
 * FIX: Picture upload fields no longer accept uploads from logged-out visitors 
   by default, and accept image files only. Sites that intentionally allow guest
   image uploads can re-enable them with the new `charitable_allow_anonymous_picture_uploads`
   filter, and the accepted image types can be adjusted with the new `charitable_picture_upload_allowed_mimes`
   filter.
 * IMPROVED: Picture upload fields now accept WebP images.

#### Donation Form & Fundraising Campaigns v1.8.12.3

 * FIX: Improved support for Campaign builder text fields and non-Latin characters
   such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc.
 * FIX: Updates involving campaign headline color in the builder and resolved builder
   preview memory issue, which was happening in some scenarios.
 * FIX: Improved Donate Button block’s label in terms of readability in certain 
   scenarios.

#### Donation Form & Fundraising Campaigns v1.8.12.2

 * FIX: Reports > Overview no longer times out on long date ranges. If a report 
   does fail, the figures are cleared and an error shown.
 * FIX: The Refunds and Net columns in the Reports > Overview breakdown read zero
   for ranges outside the current year, and merged refunds across years.
 * FIX: The optional description beside each suggested donation amount now appears
   in the Donate Amount block.
 * FIX: Campaign template stylesheets now locate their shared helper reliably, so
   a campaign’s colours no longer depend on the server’s working directory.
 * FIX: Security: the sort setting on the donor list shortcode is now restricted
   to standard sort directions, so it cannot be used to read information from the
   database.
 * FIX: The setup wizard no longer says you have been logged out when its final 
   step cannot reach your site. It now explains what happened and offers to retry
   or finish from the dashboard.
 * FIX: A campaign embedding a shortcode that points back at itself, or two campaigns
   referencing each other, no longer loops until memory runs out.
 * FIX: Removed PHP warnings and general cleanup.

#### Donation Form & Fundraising Campaigns v1.8.12.1

 * NEW: Added a `charitable_campaign_description_limit` filter so developers can
   change the word limit on the campaign description shown on the campaign page.
 * IMPROVED: More consistent brand colors in admin UI.
 * FIX: The 24-hour limit on re-running Site Analysis is no longer reset by clearing
   Charitable’s cache from Settings > Advanced, or by changing a setting, a campaign,
   or an add-on.
 * FIX: Site Analysis now tells you that you have reached the analysis limit when
   the service is rate-limiting your site, instead of reporting that the service
   is unavailable and inviting a retry that keeps the limit in place.
 * FIX: Security: links on Site Analysis recommendations are now restricted to standard
   web addresses, so a spoofed or compromised response cannot place a script link
   on the screen.
 * FIX: Donation CSV export no longer shows inflated „Donation Total“ and „Donation
   Subtotal“ amounts (such as 10 178,00 instead of 101,78) on sites that use a comma
   as the decimal separator.
 * FIX: Campaign Hero background images now appear on the front end for every campaign
   template.
 * FIX: Campaigns created with a duplicate title now have the campaign ID appended,
   so the two can be told apart.
 * FIX: Removed PHP warnings logged the first time a campaign containing a Progress
   Bar block was saved.
 * FIX: The fundraising progress bar now displays correctly with themes that apply
   their own global progress bar styles (for example Avada).
 * FIX: The login prompt on the donation form now returns a failed login to your
   custom Charitable login page instead of the default WordPress login screen.

#### Donation Form & Fundraising Campaigns v1.8.12

 * NEW: Beacon (2 Columns) campaign template – includes Campaign Hero block and 
   Mini Donation Widget (used internally).
 * NEW: Free Site Analysis (Reports > Site Analysis). Get a free Fundraising Score
   across four areas (Activation, Health, Growth, and Optimization) with specific,
   prioritized recommendations.
 * IMPROVED: Campaign builder rows now support a `background_image` property (renders
   as a CSS background on the row wrapper) and a `locked` property (prevents the
   row and its contents from being moved or deleted in the builder).
 * IMPROVED: Live-preview updates for campaign-hero settings — background image,
   logo, title, accent (theme primary), donation amounts, and donate button all 
   reflect in the builder preview as you edit.
 * IMPROVED: Cross-tab goal sync — changing the campaign goal in the Settings tab
   updates the Campaign Hero raised band in the Design tab preview, even before 
   saving.
 * FIX: Square — donations and refunds now handle zero-decimal currencies, and dashboard-
   initiated refunds are logged in the site currency.
 * FIX: Donation forms on block themes now honor the `amount` and `period` URL parameters.
 * FIX: Security hardening across the addon installer, campaign builder debug endpoint,
   and donation import/donor-lookup handling.
 * FIX: Square (Core) – unsigned webhooks are now rejected, closing a donation-status
   forgery on sites with no signing secret stored.

#### Donation Form & Fundraising Campaigns v1.8.11.3

 * FIX: Hardened Square (Core) payment webhook processing.

#### Donation Form & Fundraising Campaigns v1.8.11.2

 * FIX: Hardened profile avatar handling to prevent unauthorized attachment deletion.
 * FIX: PayPal Commerce onboarding reliability improvements.

#### Donation Form & Fundraising Campaigns v1.8.11.1

 * IMPROVED: Polished PayPal Settings screen, adding notice and improving readability.

#### Donation Form & Fundraising Campaigns v1.8.11

 * NEW: PayPal Commerce gateway – accept one-time donations via PayPal wallet (Venmo,
   Pay Later) and inline credit/debit card (Advanced Card Processing).
 * NEW: Site-level PayPal tier lock allows new installs and Commerce-tier sites 
   see PayPal Commerce; existing PayPal Standard sites keep using the legacy gateway.
 * NEW: Help icons next to each payment gateway in admin settings, linking to documentation.
 * IMPROVED: Test Mode toggle now has descriptive help text explaining sandbox routing.
 * IMPROVED: Stripe donation flow now self-heals when a previously stored PaymentIntent
   becomes unreachable (e.g. after a gateway reconnect).
