Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Select “Add New” from the “Email Petitions” menu. Complete the “Add New Email Petition” form with the options you desire and save your petition by clicking the “Create Petition” button. Enter the petition’s shortcode into any page or post where you want the petition form to appear. Example: [emailpetition id=”1″]
Yes. Once you’ve created a petition, go to the Widgets screen and drag the “SpeakUp! Email Petitions” widget into a sidebar. In the widget’s options, enter a Title and a Call to Action and then select the petition you wish to display.
Some email services (like AOL, Hotmail, and a few others) do not accept mail sent from the PHP mail() function. So, people who sign your petition with an email address from one of these providers may not be able to receive a confirmation email. To get around this problem, try installing the WP Mail SMTP plugin which will redirect calls to the PHP mail() function through your webserver’s SMTP configuration.
First, select “None” as your theme on the Settings screen. Then add a petition.css file to your theme folder. You can use the styles included in the plugin’s CSS folder as a starting point for your custom theme — just copy the contents of theme-standard.css or theme-basic.css into your petition.css file and make any modifications you desire. Custom styles can also be created for the widget and signaturelists by adding petition-widget.css or petition-signaturelist.css to your theme and changing the theme for these items to “None”.
These fields are filled automatically for logged-in users. You are seeing the name and email info associated with your user account. Other users will see their own information in these fields. Or, if the user is not logged-in, the fields will be empty.
Yes. In the Target Email field, simply enter a comma-separated list of email addresses.
Yes. Simply select “Confirm signatures” when creating a petition and a confirmation email will be sent to the address used to sign the petition. By clicking the link in the confirmation email, the signer can confirm their email address. The petition message will not be sent until the signer’s email address is confirmed.
Yes. when you create a new petition, simply select the checkbox labelled “Do not send email (only collect signatures)” at the top of the Petition box and email will not be sent out when the petition is signed.
Yes, simply place the signaturelist shortcode wherever you want the list to appear in your post (be sure to set the id value to match the id number of your petition). Example: [signaturelist id=”1″]
Yes. To download the signatures in CSV format, click the “Download as CSV” button at the top of the Signatures screen. If you do not see a “Download as CSV” button on this screen, you will first need to select yuor petition from the drop-down list.
If the CSV file looks scrambled, try changing its filename extension from .csv to .txt and then re-opening it in your spreadsheet app. The columns should be arranged correctly. (If you wish to keep the .csv extension, once you’ve opened the .txt file, re-save it as a CSV from your spreadsheet app, which will structure the contents of the file in a version of the CSV format that it understands.)
