Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Football Pool

You can, but it's not required. The plugin works just fine with the default settings. Feel free to explore and tweak the options before kicking off your pool.

The time estimate is based on how long a single calculation step takes, multiplied by the total number of remaining steps. If the early steps are slower (especially if step sizes are set large in wp-config.php), the initial estimate might seem way too long. Or… you might just have a huge database with tons of users, matches, and rankings. In that case, the estimate could be accurate. For reference: with 2,000 users, 50 matches, a few bonus questions, and 3 custom rankings, a full calculation took around 45 minutes on my laptop (using default step sizes). Running the same job via WP-CLI took under 10 minutes.

Nope. I'm a developer, not a designer — so I haven’t created a theme.

Since version 2.0.0, matches aren't added automatically. But there's a sample schedule (CSV file) bundled with the plugin. Just go to the Matches admin page and use the "Import matches" option to load it.

Technically, yes. The plugin uses this page to display user predictions. So don’t delete it. However, if you don’t want it in your site’s menu, simply remove it via Appearance » Menus. Some themes automatically add all top-level pages to the menu. Check your theme’s documentation to see how to exclude pages or build a custom menu.

Absolutely. You’ve got two options: Upload a match schedule CSV in the admin. You’ll find an example in /data/schedules in the plugin folder. Use the admin screens to manually add all the teams, groups, match types, and matches. Also, consider using a theme that fits your competition, or tweak one yourself.

Due to WordPress plugin license rules, the required charting library had to be removed. If you want charts back, check the Help page in the admin for how to manually install the required library. Also, make sure you haven’t enabled the “simple calculation method” in the plugin settings. That mode skips historical data — it’s faster, but charts won’t work. I don't see my blog users as players of the pool. Go to WordPress Admin » Football Pool » Users and check if those users are assigned to a league (if you’re using leagues). New users are added automatically, but existing ones must be added manually. To make someone a player: assign them to a league and save. If you delete a league, you’ll need to reassign those users. Not using leagues? Just make sure users haven’t been removed from the pool via the Users screen.

Yes! Check this page for available language packs. To create your own translation: Visit translate.wordpress.org Or use a tool like Poedit Upload your translation to the site, and contact a PTE to approve it Or apply to become a PTE yourself Check the First Steps guide for more info. To use a custom translation, place your translation files in wp-content/uploads/football-pool/languages and use this extension plugin to load them. The default content for the rules page is stored in rules-page-content-*locale*.txt (e.g., rules-page-content-nl_NL.txt) — this isn't managed by the Polyglot system. If you translate it and send it to me, I’ll add it to the plugin (with credit, of course). I installed the plugin, but it doesn’t look like your screenshots. That’s expected. The plugin includes basic layout styles, but it won’t change your site’s entire look. You’ll need to customize the styles yourself to make everything fit your design. Use your theme’s CSS or a custom CSS plugin to override styles. Don’t edit the plugin’s CSS files directly — your changes will be lost when you update the plugin.
