Frequently Asked Questions
How do I display my wishlist?
There are two ways.
1) Simply link to it. A new page exists on your site for each list you create. If you want to customize how your list is laid out, this is the option for you.
Copy the template file /my-wish-list/templates/single-wishlist.php into your active theme’s directory and edit away.
2) Use the shortcode [wishlist id=xx] in any page or post, where id is the post id of the wishlist you created.
Can visitors reserve items to purchase from my wishlist?
Yes. This can enabled in the Wishlist settings box in any wishlist you create. Information about promised items will appear in the edit page for the wishlist.
Can visitors purchase items through this plugin?
No. This is not an e-commerce plugin. It only allows you to list items you need/want, and tell people where they can buy them for you.
Can I change the CSS styles for the wishlist?
Yes. Just copy the my-wish-list/styles/wishlist.css file into your active theme’s directory and make all the changes you like.

Hello?
Currently, there’s no way to do that, other than manually inserting links to the wishlists on a page.
Is there any way to edit the text below each wish list item that says “I would like to get this item for you! Tell me how!”
Thank you!
As it is written right now, you would have to find that line in the plugin code and change it.
I’m looking for a Wish List without a “cart”. I just want people to be able to add stuff to a wish list (no prices) and be able to email that to the office manager for a quote. Will this plugin do it? Thanks,
Aaron
It’s more of a wishlist for things like wedding registries or donation solicitation. You add the items, and your users pledge to get them for you.
Hi, I am on WordPress 4.0 and I installed the plugin and get this message when I try to create a new wishlist. Any suggestions?

Found out that if I added an item, the error will not show.
Version 1.4.1 should fix that.
Hi!
When I made a wish list and I publish it I only get a page 404 error.
Do you have a solution for this?

Patrick
As stated in the FAQ in the plugin’s readme file, this issue can be fixed by re-saving your site’s permalink settings.
Whoops!
Sorry!!
It works now! Thanks for your reply and again sorry for not reading the read me…. :-$
Hi!
Very good job. Is it possible to add popup window or dialog for twice submit of purchase item?
Thanks
Hi Nikki,
After a few years of not actually using your plugin – got more kids and they ended up taking all my time – I am now back. I was the one how requested the plugin in the first time if you remember me 😉
I tried to look at other ways to show the links – often the links can be very long and it will show up a bit messed up – so why not create a “wishlinktext” where you can write your own link text – and if nothing is written – it will either show the link directly or perhaps show a “Read more” text.
Hope you find the suggestion good.
Will be making a donation beginning of next month – just need the next salary to come in 😉
Best regards.

Thanks for the suggestion. That’s actually something I’ve been meaning to do, but just haven’t had the time lately. 🙂
Hello Nikki.
When activating the plugin, I don´t find a new menu item called My Wishlist or something and there are no instances of the plugin on pages or post.
Maybe I do something wrong, but it seems that the plugin activation does nothing but only set status from “deactivated” to “activated”
It seems there is a conflict with the dashboard menu item.
In Design => Menus, I can see a new entry “My Wish List”.
I changed the position from 5 to 81 and this works
maybe, you can add load_plugin_textdomain function to your plugin?
Hello Nikki,
I love this plugin and am setting it up for our wedding website.
Do you think it would be possible to add a “description” text to each wish list item to write a few lines about the specific item?
Possibly like right under the Item title?
Hi, is there a way this wish list can be filled used by a member in my website? Meaning, a member has a wishlist and he can use this plugin to add a wishlist in the website (not added by me from the back-end WordPress site). Thank you!
Great little plugin. Just one thing I found rather odd:
When a person adds their name and email to a gift, the admin gets an email. I would have rather thought the person that put their name down gets an email with the details of the selected item.
As the admin and to be gifted person I would’t want to know who is planning on buying me which gift.
Maybe an option for a future update.
Thanks
Kind regards
Regine
is there any option to send email with choosen wishlist data via form? sorry for my english
Hello Nikki,
Do you intend to maintain the plugin?
I’m currently reworking it a little for our wedding site. I added a notification mail to be sent to the donor as well, working on translation, …
I would like to share my improvements when I’m done.
