BitMate Author Donations is a simple plugin to help website owners and authors on WordPress powered sites to receive bitcoin donations from their posts.
Description
The plugin adds a bitcoin address field to user profiles so that authors can accept bitcoin donations via an automatically generated bitcoin donation box after their posts or anywhere on the site with the
[bitmate-author-donate] shortcode.
Installation Instructions
1. Upload `bitmate-author-donations` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Enter a valid bitcoin address on the User Profile page under “BitMate Donation Information” for any users that wish to enable the donation box.
4. Configure the display options through the “BitMate Settings” page.
5. (Optional) Use the [bitmate-author-donate] shortcode anywhere you want to manually include the donation box, e.g. WordPress pages etc.
General Usage Instructions
There is a built in settings page where you can enable or disable the automatic inclusion of the donation box underneath all posts. The settings page also allows you to enable/disable a small credit link to this page which we'd love you to include but you don't have to! You can find these settings under “BitMate Settings” in the WordPress dashboard.
