Merging Campaigns

Introduction

Merging campaigns helps site admins combine multiple campaigns into a single, organized campaign.

After migrating to GiveWP 4.0, many sites may have individual campaigns for each donation form. Merging campaigns allows admins to group related forms under one campaign, perfect for ongoing causes, seasonal events, or repeat fundraisers.

Merging also restores the ability to easily duplicate forms from within a single campaign, making it faster to setup future fundraisers. This feature helps keep campaigns organized and reduces clutter in the Campaigns list.

Merging a Campaign

To merge campaigns, follow these steps:

  1. In the WordPress Dashboard, go to GiveWP > Campaigns.
  2. Select the checkboxes next to the campaigns to merge together.
  3. Click the Bulk Actions dropdown, select Merge.
  4. Click Apply to combine the selected campaigns.
