Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Petitioner

Create your first petition under Petitioner -> Add new. Once you do that, you can either use a shortcode provided on the creation page or a Gutenberg block.

Absolutely. Sending a petition letter to a representative is optional. Just disable the rep email inside the petition’s Email tab and submissions will still be stored, displayed, and exportable.

Enable one (or more) of the built‑in defenses: reCAPTCHA / hCaptcha / Turnstile, Akismet integration, honeypot field under Advanced Settings, double opt-in email confirmations, manual approve/deny, and the ability to edit or delete entries directly from the Submissions tab. More guidance: https://getpetitioner.com/docs/captcha/

You can customize your petitions under Petitioner -> Settings. You can change the colors, conditionally display certain fields, and add custom CSS.

Petitioner uses the WordPress wp_mail() function, so deliverability depends on your hosting. Install an SMTP plugin (e.g., WP SMTP) to route mail through a trusted sender. You can also disable the “Send this email to a representative?” option to avoid sending hundreds of identical letters and damaging your domain reputation.

Simply open the edit page for the petition in question and you will see a table with all of the submissions. There will also be a button to export. You can also filter out unwanted submissions before exporting.

Insert either the Gutenberg “Petitioner Submissions” block or the [petitioner_submissions] shortcode wherever you want the signatures to appear. Full walk-through: https://getpetitioner.com/docs/show-submissions-on-the-frontend/

Yes. In the petition settings, you can define custom redirect URLs for successful submissions, email confirmations, and even error states.

Yes! The milestones feature lets you set multiple signature targets so you can celebrate progress as your campaign grows.

Very. The plugin exposes dozens of filters, actions, and JavaScript events plus helper shortcodes for rendering counts, goals, progress bars, popups, and more. See the full extension reference at https://getpetitioner.com/docs/filters-and-hooks/
