Hi there,
I am hoping to learn about a widget or tool that can be used to connect our patreon page to our main website. If people have any recommendations for the best integrations to promote our Patreon page on our website that would be great! We are hoping to for example have an active funding bar on our website so our audience can see how close we are to our goal.
Thank you!
For what I could find out there’s a specific Patreon plugin for Wordpress, called “Patreon Wordpress”, you should install (check your site/host whitelisting, you may have to disable restriction in order to make the integration work)… then, when it is all set up, you might have to search for another plugin called “Patreon Button, Widgets and Plugin by CodeBard”: after setting up also this you should be able to add your site a widget called “Patreon Sidebar Site Goal Widget”.
If you want to see how it looks to us, you may take a visit at our blog, but there’s not much bar since we’re really far from our goal…
As Cuillo explained, you can use the free Patreon WordPress to connect your WP site to Patreon to sync your Patreon posts to your site as well as publish member-only content.
The free widgets plugin allows you to add various widgets (site Patreon, Author Patreon, Post button) as well as Goals widget:
Patron Plugin Pro is a premium/paid addon which adds more functionality to both plugins, from advanced post/content gating methods to allowing only patrons to log in:
Hi,
I am trying to embed my Patreon subscription page into my wordpress website but can’t find a way to do it.
I have tried using iframes but Patreon seems to block that.
Please can you help?
Hi @Yogesh, I merged your question into this helpful thread.
Anything Open Source for Wordpress integration?
The main plugin is free at WP repo below.
Pro plugin is an addon that enhances it.
You can just instal the official free plugin by searching ‘Patreon’ in your WP plugin manager’s Add section.
I am using the following Patreon Widget on my WordPress Blog:
My blog is located here:
I am having a problem with my WordPress Blog. WordPress Support thinks there is an issue with the Patreon Widget and have requested I send you the following inquiry:
I’m using your Patreon widget on my website; however, I noticed there is a missing 3.bundle.js on the widget which caused Error 404 to keep popping up on my log and interfering with my website performance. Can you relay this information to your widget developer so they can check the widget?
Thank you
Lewis Lafontaine
I think you are not using either plugins, but a custom JS widget. Are you using any of these plugins below?
Codebard:
I appreciate you reply and the opportunity to clarify the issue.
I am using a custom widget from Patreon on my WordPress Blog which I obtained from the Patreon site. I did not download it. I copy and pasted it. [See Image Attached.]
The widget code is:
My WordPress Blog is here: https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/
A few weeks ago I was receiving a “Critical Error” on my blog and contacted WordPress Support.
In the course of WordPress Support investigating this error, they sent me a message indicating that there may be an issue with Patreon’s Custom html widget and asked me to send the following message to Patreon Support (since it is a Patreon product.)
This is the message WordPress Support requested I send to Patreon Support:
“I am having a problem with my WordPress Blog. WordPress Support thinks there is an issue with the Patreon Widget and have requested I send you the following inquiry:
I’m using your Patreon widget on my website; however, I noticed there is a missing 3.bundle.js on the widget which caused Error 404 to keep popping up on my log and interfering with my website performance. Can you relay this information to your widget developer so they can check the widget?”
WordPress Support has also told me:
“The code and file we were referencing is the one from your custom HTML widget that is looking for a file at this location: https://c6.patreon.com/becomePatronButton.bundle.js
“If you notice, the URL ends in bundle.js. That is the file that is causing the error. You would need to contact whoever gave you the following code for the widget:
So, I sent the message to Patreon Support and stunningly I got the following reply:
“Due to resource constraints, my team is longer able provide Patreon developer support for our WordPress plugin and API, however we offer another avenue you can use to get support with your WordPress integration.”
Patreon told me the following:
“We’ve migrated our developer forum over to our main Patreon Community Forum — this is our official community forum with a lot more participation from both creators and the Patreon team.”
To date I have been unable to obtain a more substantive reply from Patreon.
Does the plugin you provide perform the same function as the Patreon plugin? Is it superior?
Thank you,
Lewis
Yeah, you are at the place where they directed you to. Better place to get support for Patreon related WP plugins is:
…
That widget you have now is copy/paste code. If the specific JS is missing from your site (probably is), it can cause issues.
You can delete that widget instead use this free widget plugin which allows you 2 different sidebar/footer widgets and a post button / call to action:
Much easier.
Also another free plugin allows you to gate your content directly at your site (gate by tiers, total historic pledge etc):
You can use both plugins at the same time.
Additionally a premium (paid) plugin that provides you additional functionality to gate your site (Show last X posts, Lock last X posts, Show/Lock posts after date, Lock parts of posts and many more) is below:
This latest one is an addon for the other plugins and it extends them. It would auto-install all the other plugins if you just install this last one. It has an auto installer that handles all that stuff.
