Frequently Asked Questions

Is WW4KOFI v2 lightweight?

Yes. It’s only 47 KB zipped. And, it uses its’ own local copy of the official Ko-fi widget JavaScript library.

Is the Ko-fi button the official button from ko-fi.com?

It sure is. The Ko-fi button widget code comes from https://ko-fi.com/manage/widgets and it looks like this.

<script type='text/javascript' src='https://ko-fi.com/widgets/widget_2.js'></script><script type='text/javascript'>kofiwidget2.init('Support Me on Ko-fi', '#29abe0', 'D1D7YARD');kofiwidget2.getHTML();</script>

How can I change the alignment for the Will Work for Ko-fi block?

You can change the content alignment by using additional CSS. The additional CSS below will centre justify the WW4KOFI block contents.

.centre-this-block {
    text-align: center;
    width: 50%;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

How can I change the style of the Will Work for Ko-fi block?

You can change the content alignment by using additional CSS. The additional CSS below will add slight padding to the contents and create a drop shadow effect.

.style-this-block {
    padding: 1.5%;
    border-radius: 10px;
    box-shadow: 5px 20px 12px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
}

Version 2.1.0 introduced the .section__kofi CSS class that controls the top/bottom padding for the widget’s heading, description, and button.

.section__kofi {
  padding-top: 0;
  padding-bottom: 0;
}

Do I need to install the Lazy Blocks plugin too?

No. Version 2.0.0 does not rely on any third-party plugins. Lazy Blocks is deprecated in v2.0.0.

I’m seeing a “This block contains invalid or unexpected content” error message. What must I do to fix it?

Click on the horizontal ellipses (…) on the right, then select Attempt Block Recovery.
