Innovative method for loading CTA content with shortcodes

If you can not see video below, click to open changelog on wp.org please

CTA loading issues? Load all plugins/shortcodes in CTAs (please right click and open in new tab)

• Solved problem: In webinar room not showing timed action content nicely
• Background: The delayed/time based loading of the CTAs was sometimes breaking style and function of some plugins/shortcodes output.
• Benefits: Automatically loading via iframe, by checking a box, solve this issue.
• Yes, iframes in iframes working too.
• What are CTAs?
  Call-to-Actions are actions in the webinar room to interact with your attendees, like in a live webinar
  CTAs in evergreen webinars are automated and time based (connected to the MP4/video time)
• How you solved the problem of the form that on submit reloads the whole webinar room?
  By placing the form in an iframe the content in the iframe will reload only.

• Is it complicated to load the content in an Iframe?
  You decide: If install/activate free “advanced iframe” plugin and click “enable” button, below the CTA content, is complicated 😉

• Article: CTA loading issues? Load all plugins/shortcodes in CTAs

PS: In combination with the already developed features automation in evergreen webinars raised to new heights.
To name some:

• On reload the page, attendee continues video on the time left (MP4, WEBM,… only, not iframe)
• Unlimited CTAs because all are shown inside the webinar room.
  CTAs can be any shortcodes appointment/survey/poll… forms, WooCommerce Shop, or an external sales page.
• Send registered/attended status to CRM via webhook and do more specific marketing.

PPS: Is the iframe advanced plugin totally free?
Yes and no. At the moment from 10.000 views a months the iframe plugin shows a backlink.
And you can get rig of the link by buying the pro version At the moment 19$ one time

iframed CTA Roadmap:

• Problem: Loading the Iframed CTA could take some time than loading the normal CTA
  Why? Because we hidden loading the whole page and show only the content you want to get.
  Workaround: If you want to show the CTA at 1:15 start the CTA at 1:00 time
  Solution: Preloading the CTA, out of the view of the user and show on CTA time.
• As we have a cooperation with Michael the developer of Iframe advance free/pro he come up with more improvements
  Maybe you have some edge cases that need tweaking and we lucky to help you…

No Premium Plugin code needed as all is in OpenSource Version

• From my own experience i like to test all before i buy.
• Still buying is not needed until you reach the free 500 registrations per months or like webinars longer than 45 minutes.
• Which other webinar service gives you so much for free?
• Why? To play, test, make some money and give back. That maybe make some user able to start own lifelong business.
• Also i like all to use e.g. the webhooks, paid webinars ect. and suggest features and improvements.
• Current Ultimate Unlimited user will still get updates through Freemius.
• Ultimate Unlimited user can install the free version and get faster updates.

Further fixes, improvements

• Updated: German language file (Thank you Ronny)
• Updated: All translations and fixes some strings.
  Please report not working or not good translation.
• Freemius SDK update
  Fixes in clone resolution and multisite license activation
  Fixed update notice issue when free and premium versions of a plugin is running in parallel
• Fixed: Webhook trigger on attended webinar when user was not instantly viewing the webinar. (Thanks Mathias)
  Trigger sent when user watched MP4 video for one second and more. Iframe video on visited webinar room.

Fixed: Redirect to first custom registration page when open the default registration page

(only redirect for non logged-in user, like your webinar visitors, so you as admin can still access the built in page)
Benefits: The not setup default registration page is not shown to your visitors.
If you use custom pages you need to manually select a default custom page and deselect the default page.

Workaround for existing and new webinars:

• In an Webinar dashboard
• Select a default custom registration page
• Unselect built in registration page in list
• Save
• Redo when default still shown in the list.

I hope soon we can improve admin experience by setting the first custom page as default/fallback page.

The Unlimited Registration features is the milestone that needed the improvement

If you have issues go back to

3.03.2
2.16.3

by uploading the plugin via add new plugin and downgrade.
Please then report issue on https://support.webinarignition.com/
Pormise we will find a solution quickly.

3.03.2 22.08.2023

• Fix: Language special characters producing JS errors
  Benefits: You can run WebinarIgnition on any site language and all will be translated.
  Benefits: AR Test button working again
  Missing languages you can request DeepL translation in chat, or translate yourself via loco translate.
• Fix: Webinar settings language resets on test AR settings

3.03.0 20.08.2023

• Fixed: Issues with urdu and italian special characters by escaping all text in backend (make language strings not executable)
  Benefits: All languages can be used in backend.
  Tutorial: On create webinar you choose the language the content shown to the user is translated in. Like registration form/pages, email/txt reminder.
  The settings language follows the user and the site language. We think of removing the “also use the webinar language in settings” option. You can give us cases when this option is needed and we will fix it.
  At the moment on saving the webinar, only the settings language change back to the site/user language. Use the chat for suggestions.

3.02.1 26.07.2023

• Fixed yeah: Show browser confirmation popup only when changes are unsaved (on backend)
