SantaPress - WordPress Advent Calendar Plugin & Quiz

SantaPress is a WordPress Advent Calendar Plugin that makes it easy for you to provide an individual advent calendar on your website to surprise your visitors every day with a small gift until Christmas. Provided with 8 layouts and many great features (such as many customization options, snowfall, hidden mode etc.), this plugin makes your visitors want to come back every day.

Plugin Features:

Open doors as single pages, modal windows (popup), external links or link directly to WooCommerce products (if you have the WooCommerce plugin installed).
Choose between automatic modal layouts (each calendar layout brings its own modal layout) or customize the modal (easily change width, add a solid background color or a gradient, add a snowflake pattern or a Santa hat).
Quiz – Each door can have its own trivia. Further SantaPress integrates with the popular Contact Form 7 plugin which you can use to show a contact form after an answer is correct. Further you can set correct and incorrect responses either globally or individually on each door.
8 beautiful layouts with 25 door images each. That makes a total of 200 door images to choose from.
Use your own layout and upload your own door images.
Set the number of days for your calendar so you can decide whether you need 24 doors, 25 doors or any other number.
Hidden Mode – which initially hides the calendar and lets the calendar slide in after a preset amount of time or by using custom CSS triggers.
SantaPress Snowfall.
Use multiple calendars on your site.
Add custom Javascript for each door (e.g. tracking codes).
Click Tracking: Track your clicks for each door for logged-out users only and logged-in users (except administrators).
More options available (Preview mode, Show/hide titles, Shuffle doors, Disable past doors).
Custom CSS.
Responsive and Retina/HiDPI.
WPMU compatible.
WPML compatible.
GDPR conform: The plugin doesn’t load any external scripts, everything is within the plugin. Tracking mode only tracks clicks and no IP addresses.
Clean and commented code.

The Weekly Tabs or the Large List styles are a great solution for a Dance Studio, Fitness or Sports Center, while the Compact List style works better for Conferences, Speakers, Workshops or Seminars. For schedules with the same classes every week, like that of a School, College, Kindergarten or University, the Weekly Schedule style gives you the perfect look. It?s suited also for Medical Centers, Beauty Parlours and other professionals who need to display the working hours. The Plain List style is our timetable solution with rich visuals, designed for a display of important events. Music Festivals, Sports Arenas, a Stadium or an Exhibition Center can take advantage of this schedule style to easily promote their events.

Elegant Pop-up Window

A schedule should display only the important info, but you might have a lot of other useful details for your visitors. That?s why, each class accepts individual text and images, that can be displayed in a modal pop-up window.

Assign Class Types, Locations and Instructors

Visitors will be able to see right away what they are looking for, if you assign categories to your classes. Assigning Types, Locations and Instructors makes it easy to filter classes and displays important info in the schedule.

Advanced Filters

Our plugin is ready for schedules with a lot of classes, therefore powerful filters are mandatory. You can allow various filters, like Type, Location, Instructor, Day or Time of the Day and you can get the perfect design by placing them left, right or center.
