\n","faq":"\n

\nWhich WordPress user is used to post the lottery results and jackpots?\n\n

You can select the user to use for posting the lottery results when you configure the plugin under the Settings menu. However, the user can only have the Author role. If you do not have any user with the Author role only, please create a new user first before configuring our plugin.

\nHow many API calls do I need?\n\n

For a weekly lottery game, you will require at least 4 API calls per month to retrieve and display the lottery results. If you lik to further display the lottery jackpot, you will need at least 8 API calls per month.

For a daily game, at least 30 API calls will be needed to show the draw results. To further show the next jackpot, at least 60 API calls will be needed.

\nHow do I set the number of API calls?\n\n

You do not need to set the number of API calls. You only need to indicate the update frequency under the Settings menu. For example, if you choose to update once every week, our plugin will make 4-5 API calls per month to show the draw results for each selected game.

\nHow many lottery games can I choose to display the lottery results?\n\n

You can choose as many games as you like. However, a single API call can only retrieve the latest draw results for a single game.

\nHow many lottery games can I choose to display the lottery jackpot?\n\n

You can choose as many games as you like. However, a single API call can only retrieve the next jackpot for a single game.

\nHow many lottery results widgets can I add to my blog?\n\n

You can add as many lottery results widgets as you like. Each lottery results widget will only display the most recent draw results in the specified category.

\nHow many lottery jackpot widgets can I add to my blog?\n\n

You can add as many lottery jackpot widgets as you like.

\nHow do I know how many API calls are made by the plugin?\n\n

You can login to our API Area to view your monthly API usage.

\nWhy are the lottery results or jackpots not updated?\n\n

The most likely reason is that you have exceeded your API limit. You can check your API usage in our API Area and you may like to consider upgrading your API plan.

If you are sure that you have not exceeded your API limit, you may like to turn on your WordPress debug mode to see if you can identify and resolve the problem. Our WordPress cron job for updating the lottery results will log messages when WordPress is in debug mode.

To turn on the debug mode, you can add the following lines into your wp-config.php file:
\ndefine(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
\ndefine(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);
\ndefine(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);

When in debug mode, you can check the file /wp-content/debug.log for any errors or messages from our cron job.

Please note that it is not recommended to run WordPress in debug mode for live sites.

Alternatively, you can deactivate and re-activate the plugin.

\n","installation":"

Upload plugin files to your plugins folder, or install using WordPress’ built-in Add New Plugin installer
Activate the plugin
Go to the widgets page (Appearance > Widgets)
Drag the Lottery Results widget to a sidebar.
Choose a state from the dropdown, save the widget
Check boxes next to each game you would like to appear in the widget
Choose the style of the lotto results
Save the widget again
If you want the form to be embedded in content, instead of shown in the sidebar, check the checkbox for “Do not display widget in sidebar”, then follow the instructions for inserting the shortcode into your content where you would like the form to be displayed.

Using the lottery shortcode

[lottery state=\"CO\" games=\"1,2,3\" style=\"numbers\" title=\"Colorado Lottery\" link=true]\n

state – The two letter state abbreviation
games – If you don’t enter this, all games in the state will be displayed. If you configure the widget, you’ll see “ID = #” next to each game. These numbers should be used. You can enter one game (games=\"1\") or multiple, separated by a comma (as shown above).
style – Three options exist: balls (yellow, red and green lottery balls with text numbers), numbers (circles with a gray border and images of numbers), or plain (simple text numbers; able to be styled using your own CSS). Default: balls
link – Show a link to plugin page. To turn off, add link=\"false\" or link=\"0\" to the lottery shortcode. Default: true

\n","faq":"\n

My state is missing!

Unfortunately Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Mississippi, Nevada, Utah & Wyoming have no lottery system. If you’re in this state, contact your law maker and get a lottery going! It’s a great way to raise money for education, conservation, and other great causes.

What is the plugin license?

This plugin is released under a GPL license.

What filters exist?

The following filters have been added to allow for modification of code using apply_filters():

lottery_widget, lottery_widget_{$widget_number}
lottery_results
lottery_game_name
lottery_game_date
lottery_game_caption, lottery_game_caption_{$state_code}, lottery_game_caption_{$state_code}_{$game_id}
lottery_game_bonus, lottery_game_bonus_{$state_code}, lottery_game_bonus_{$state_code}_{$game_id}
lottery_game_multiplier, lottery_game_multiplier_{$state_code}, lottery_game_multiplier_{$state_code}_{$game_id}
lottery_game_wildcard, lottery_game_wildcard_{$state_code}, lottery_game_wildcard_{$state_code}_{$game_id}, lottery_game_wildcard_result
lottery_thank_you_link

How do I use the `apply_filters()` functionality?

If you want to change some code in the widget, you can use the WordPress add_filter() function to achieve this.

You can add code to your theme’s functions.php file that will modify the widget output. Here’s an example:

\nfunction my_example_function($widget) { \n    // The $widget variable is the output of the widget\n    // This will replace 'this word' with 'that word' in the widget output.\n    $widget = str_replace('this word', 'that word', $widget);\n    // Make sure to return the $widget variable, or it won't work!\n    return $widget;\n}\nadd_filter('lottery_widget', 'my_example_function');\n

How do I remove the titles of the games (the captions)?

If you want to remove game captions from the widget, add the following to your active theme’s functions.php file:

\nadd_filter('lottery_game_caption', 'lottery_return_no_caption');\nfunction lottery_return_no_caption($caption = null) {\n    return '';\n}\n
