Upload the plugin to your plugins directory and activate. 1. Check the settings by clicking on the Personal Fundraiser admin menu item. 1. Define the Personal Fundraiser Fields that users will fill out when creating a personal fundraiser campaign. 1. Edit/View the sample cause **Help Raise Money For My Cause** to see a sample cause. 1. Create a new Cause from the Causes admin menu using the shortcode **[pfund-edit]** as well as the shortcode from the Personal Fundraiser settings. 1. Navigate to /`<CAUSE SLUG>` to see the list of available causes to create campaigns from. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Why should I use this plugin? = charity: water has raised over $10M using personal fundraising campaigns. This plugin adds the capability of creating personal fundraising campaigns on your WordPress site. = What is a Cause? = A Cause is a template used to create fundraising campaigns. As an administrator you define the look and feel of the campaigns that your users create. When creating or editing a cause, here are several things to keep in mind: 1. Every cause needs to have the shortcode **[pfund-edit]** in the content. This enables the ability for users to create and/or edit campaigns. 1. Every cause should also have the shortcode **[pfund-donate]** in the content. This enables the ability for donations to be collected on campaigns created from the cause. 1. Besides the content specified in the WYSIWYG editor, each cause has a description and image field. These fields are displayed on the cause list page. 1. If you update the look and feel of a cause, all of the campaigns created from that cause will also have an updated look and feel. = What shortcodes does this plugin provide? = Each of the fields defined in the Personal Fundraiser Fields section of the Personal Fundraiser settings has a corresponding shortcode. In addition, the plugin provides the following shortcodes: * **[pfund-campaign-list]** Display the list of campaigns. * **[pfund-campaign-permalink]** Display the permalink(URL) for the campaign. * **[pfund-cause-list]** Display the list of causes. * **[pfund-comments]** Display the comments/donations for the campaign. * **[pfund-donate]** PayPal donate button.
