4.7.0 update caused issue with GiveWP – Donation Form widget

Hello,

Thank you for the information!

Could you also let me know if the GiveWP – Donation Form widget displaying will be fixed on the back end in the Elementor editor https://prnt.sc/7krIQCLzpVe8 ? Is this a known bug, or should it be reported?

It was displayed correctly before the 4.7.0 update.

Thanks a lot for you help!

Hello Ginger, thank you for the update!

I can see the new Give widgets now: https://prnt.sc/9o4t-Ks_dTWU

Unfortunately, I still cannot see the form preview on the backend: https://prnt.sc/Rcy7mFUCmllD using the GiveWP – Donation Form widget.

As I wrote before, it was displayed correctly before the 4.7.0 update https://prnt.sc/gUnoyYxPwLvy . Can it also be fixed, please?

Hello again, thanks for your reply!

However, we are talking about the different widgets.

The problem is with the widget GiveWP – Donation Form https://prnt.sc/rFFm40mElEJA , the WordPress widget that was available for years and which I use to use on my websites. It became undisplayed on the backend after the 4.7.0 update. This problem can be reproduced on the Hello Elementor WordPress theme with the only 2 plugins active – Elementor and Give.

And you are providing screenshots with the new widget GiveWP Donation Form, which was added after the 4.7.0 update.

My question in the beginning of the request was: If the default widget I used to use is considered to be obsolete and won’t function correctly anymore? Should I change all forms on all website to be displayed by the new widgets?

And Robin Joshua Del Mundo from Give plugin support replied, that “We are still supporting the legacy widgets so they can still be used.” So I asked you to fix its displaying as it is still supported. Thank you!

Thank you for your help!

Hello, thank you for your reply.

Just to clarify, I have never used any “GiveWP – Elementor” plugin. My websites have only ever used the Elementor plugin together with the Give plugin. From the very beginning, my question was specifically about the GiveWP – Donation Form widget, which, as you mentioned, has been available for many years (and was the only widget available). I have used it on dozens of websites.

Now, after the 4.7.0 update, I am forced to switch to the new widget you introduced and manually edit all of these websites. This was exactly the issue I asked about and hoped could be resolved.

From your reply, I understand that this will not be fixed, and that the update has simply made this widget unusable. While this is very inconvenient for me, I appreciate your clarification and now know that nothing else can be done.

Thank you for confirming this, and have a nice weekend.
