Plugin Advertisement

Once you have successfully completed the donation a unique ID code will be emailed to you. Enter this code in the Donation ID Code field on the plugin options page to remove the ad from the bottom of the plugin.

F.A.Q.

1. • Q: I am getting “No response from server.” error on the widget
   • A: There is no server responce from the ip address + port you provided. Check your information or try a different server you know works. For testing purposes please feel free to use vent.onykage.com:5733.
   • Another common reason for this issue is if the ventrilo server host has the web ports blocked. If this is the case then no monitor script will work until you tell the host company to unblock the ports.
2. • Q: The plugin loading image doesnt disappear.
   • A: Your current wordpress template is forcing the wrong version of jQuery or not allowing jQuery to function or you have a no script plugin running on your current browser.
3. • Q: The plugin is configured and it doesnt show anything besides the lobby.
   • A: Your webhost has the port you assigned as your ventrilo server port blocked. The port needs to be added to your websites whitelist
4. • Q: I got the Error “PHP Unable to start external status process.”, what now?
   • A: If you got this error then either A You do not have permission to execute the status program or B Your webhost has deemed the program as a security threat and disabled all access to it or removed it for you. I highly recomend you get a less retarded and more mainstream webhost if this is the case, I recommend hostmonster or webfaction to name a few. Both offer a wide variety of services and are completely customizable to allow for what ever you decide you want to do with your website which is how it should be.
5. • Q: Does the donation ID expire?
   • A: Maybe.  It depends on the amount of the donation.  Donations in excess of 15 USD give ID’s that will not expire.  Otherwise the experation is based on how much you use the plugin vs how much you donated.  Use a ratio of 0.01 cents per use or 1000 uses per dollar.
