FAQs
When I Copy My Page, Does the Widget Automatically Update to Track my New Page?
When I Copy My Page, Does the Widget Automatically Update to Track my New Page?
No. When a GivingFuel page is copied, the widget will continue to track the original page. Because of this, we recommend deleting any widgets when copying a GivingFuel page, and creating a new widget that tracks the correct page.
Why is My Widget Showing the Wrong Totals, and Why Isn't My Widget Updating?
Why is My Widget Showing the Wrong Totals, and Why Isn't My Widget Updating?
A common reason a widget is displaying the wrong totals and isn't updating as expected is because the page was copied. When a GivingFuel page is copied, the widget continues to track the original page. If you choose to copy a GivingFuel page with a widget, we recommend deleting the original widget, and creating a new widget on the new page.
Can I Track One Fund on my GivingFuel Page with a Widget?
Can I Track One Fund on my GivingFuel Page with a Widget?
Right now, widgets can only track an entire GivingFuel page, not a fund within a GivingFuel page. If you would like to create a widget for a GivingFuel fund, we recommend setting up a completely separate GivingFuel page for that particular fund.
