GiveWP Multi-Form Goal Shortcode

The [give_multi_form_goal] shortcode allows you to display multiple donation form goals anywhere on your website. It lets your donors and users know how much you have already raised for select causes, the percentage raised, the total number of donations, and the number of donors for these causes.

Why use the GiveWP Multi-Form Goal Shortcode?

Displaying the progress and status of your fundraising is a great way to encourage potential donors to become real donors. One way to do that is with the [give_multi_form_goal] shortcode. Goals can be displayed on individual forms, but displaying them elsewhere can show how your forms are performing without visiting the form. You can display just the goal of an individual form or the goal of multiple forms in tandem. You also have the option to show the progress bar, the goal text, or both.

In case you have many different donation forms on your site and you want to filter them, you can use the ids attribute to filter the forms. You can also choose the color of the donation form to match your site’s color and define a goal for those both forms.

In the example below, the shortcode is filtering two forms, setting the red color and setting a goal of 1500.

EXAMPLE: Filtering Forms + Custom Color + Goal

Filtering by ID, with Custom Color & Goal

[give_multi_form_goal ids="1713, 1702" color="#FF0000" goal="1500"]

filtered by ID, with custom color and goal

You can add an end date to your multi-form goal shortcode to specify when it should end. Some donors might even donate more readily based on the time constraint that you’ve set for the campaign.

EXAMPLE: Custom End Date

Setting Custom End Date

 [give_multi_form_goal enddate="2020-11-12 23:30"]

Let’s say you want to customize all the attributes available. In the example below, the shortcode filters the donation forms, sets the red color, a custom goal of 1500, a custom end date, heading and summary. Also, the image is custom and the forms are being filtered by categories and tags. This is a good example of how you can customize each piece of the multi-form goal shortcode.

EXAMPLE: Customizing all attributes

Filtering IDs, Color, Goal, End Date, Heading Message, & Image

[give_multi_form_goal ids="1713, 1702" color="#FF0000" goal="1500" enddate="2020-11-12 23:30" heading="My custom heading" summary="This is my custom summary" image="/wp-content/plugins/give/assets/dist/images/onboarding-preview-form-image.min.jpg" tags="4, 14" categories="3, 15"]
