TotalContest New Major Version Released!

TotalContest has started as a minimal WordPress contest plugin that supports only one type per contest to a full-fledged contest plugin with a set of powerful features. Many features were been added to this release such as multiple fields support, revamped user interface, and more!

Dashboard#

We've added a dashboard so you can have an overview of your running contests with some details like votes and submissions. Furthermore, the dashboard covers some other functionality such as product activation.

User Interface Overhaul#

We've redesigned the user interface while focusing on simplicity and efficiency. Thanks to these improvements, the process of contest creation is now seamless and comprehensive.

Improved Submissions Listing#

The submissions listing screen has been improved with some inline actions like preview and approval. Also, you can export submissions in multiple formats.

Content Template Control#

Control the content template with the new blocks builder.

In this release, we've introduced a new way to control the content template, it's a blocks-based solution that supports re-order through drag and drop and custom expressions. We know that isn't perfect and that's why we're looking to hear your feedback and suggestions.

Multiple Content Types#

TotalContest now supports more than 6 different types of content including images, videos, audios, embeds, and rich text. This feature enables you to run contests that accept multiple content types.

Submission Categorization#

Categorize received submissions via the category field.

You've asked and we've listened, TotalContest now supports submission categorization through the category field available in fields tab and category filter in submissions gallery screen. Not only that, but you can also cap votes for each submission per category.

Appearance Customization#

Design customization options and controls.

The new release features a rich set of appearance customization controls with a live preview window. Advanced users could benefit from the custom CSS field to take the contest's appearance a step further.
