About this plugin
Causefolk is where the people behind a cause get organized: publish shifts, take sign-ups, remind your folk by email or text, and keep attendance and hours straight. This plugin places the sign-up on your own WordPress site, in your colors, so nobody has to leave your website to help.
What the plugin does
- Adds a “Causefolk Embed” block and a [causefolk_embed] shortcode that show your causes and their shifts, with sign-up, on any page or post.
- Shows one cause only when you want a dedicated page ( opportunity="…" ), matches your accent color ( accent="#rrggbb" ), and opens in English or Spanish ( lang="en|es" ).
- Keeps a short settings page under Causefolk in your admin menu, with links to your Causefolk dashboard and portal once you enter your organization slug.
What Causefolk does for you
- One-off and recurring shifts (weekly, monthly), with capacity counted in people and a waitlist that offers freed spots automatically.
- Group sign-ups: one person brings their family, team or friends.
- Reminders and waitlist offers by email and, with consent, by text, in English or Spanish.
- Applications with document uploads, approvals that expire and renew, and background checks through your own Checkr account.
- Check-in by QR poster, daily code or location, and reports by period, cause and person with CSV export.
Causefolk is a hosted service. The plugin itself stores only its settings and makes no requests on its own: the embed script is loaded from the Causefolk service in the visitor’s browser, and sign-ups are stored by Causefolk. Causefolk’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy apply to the service.

When a visitor signs up, the name, email and other details they enter are sent to and stored by Causefolk, not by this plugin.
The “Start your free trial” and “I already have an organization” links open the service in your browser with the address of this site’s Causefolk page in the link, so the service can send you back with your organization’s slug filled in; nothing is sent until you click.
