Ko-fi Button

سوالات متداول

What is Ko-fi

Ko-fi is a donation service allowing creators to receive small payments (roughly the price of a coffee) from supporters of their work. Used as an alternative to advertising, Ko-fi helps all types of artists, cosplayers, bloggers, coders and podcasters to fund their passions.

Do Ko-fi take a fee

Nope, we don’t take a fee from your donations. The payment processor will take a small fee for processing the transaction, but Ko-fi is a free service.

What about monthly memberships

Yes, use Ko-fi to receive monthly subscriptions or create your own membership tiers. Use membership tiers to offer different benefits and price points to suit your audience.

What does the WordPress Plugin do

The WordPress plugin allows WordPress users to easily add a customisable ‘Support me on Ko-fi’ button to their blog or website. Simply add the plugin, enter your page details and place the widget in a sidebar or widget area.

Alternatively use the [kofi] shortcode in your page or in the shortcode block.

For more information see the help page at ko-fi.com.

Help! The Default Code on my widget has changed

With the release of 1.0.1 your Ko-fi code now comes from the settings page when using the shortcode or a widget.

If you have not set your Ko-fi code in the settings page then simply update the Default Page Name/Id on the settings page, save the change and the widget will automatically pick it up.

I’m getting errors with the widget after upgrading to the block widget editor

In most instances there shouldn’t be any issues upgrading to the block widget editor, but if you do encounter errors try removing the widget, saving, and adding the widget again.

What options are available for the `[kofi]` shortcode?

The following options are available:

• type: The type of Ko-fi widget to embed. Either button (default) or panel.
• code: Your Ko-fi username
• text: The button text (if using button type)
• color: The button background color (if using button type)

You don’t need to provide any of the options unless required, the options will default to the settings from the plugin settings page if not specified.

How can I control which pages the Floating Button displays on?

By default, the floating button displays on every page when enabled. You can override it on individual posts and pages with the Display floating button on this page setting to hide on specific pages, or alternatively display only on specific pages when disabled globally.
For more advanced use cases, you can use the kofi_display_floating_button filter.
