ActRight for WordPress

Layout Types

[actright type="large-card" slug="save-springfield-park"]

[actright type="form-card" slug="save-springfield-park" theme="dark"]

[actright type="list" limit="6" sort="trending"]

Common Attributes

Every attribute is optional except a petition reference (slug or id), which is required for every type except list.

Advanced Styling Attributes

Every attribute below is optional and works on the [actright] shortcode, the [actright-container], and each [actright-el] element. Unset values fall through to the applied preset, then the Style Kit, then the plugin defaults.

A fully-loaded example combining several options:

[actright type="form-card" slug="save-springfield-park" description="full" recent-signatures="5" recent-layout="carousel" target="2" target-avatar="true" preset="my-brand" accent-color="#16a34a"]

Donation Shortcodes

Place a Donorbox donation form, or a button that opens one in a modal, on any page. With no slug they use the current Petition Page's campaign.

[actright-donate slug="your-campaign"]

[actright-donate-button label="Donate" slug="your-campaign"]

[actright-donate-button title="Support us" subtitle="Every dollar helps"]

Both donation shortcodes also accept a class attribute to target the embed or button from your own CSS — the same passthrough available on [actright], [actright-container], and [actright-el].

Container Layout

Build your own petition layout from only the elements you want, in any order. In the block editor, add the ActRight Petition Container block, pick a petition, then drag in ActRight Element blocks. Or use the shortcode form — the petition loads once and is shared by every element inside:

[actright-container slug="save-springfield-park" max-width="600px" gap="1.5rem"]
  [actright-el type="count" label="people have signed"]
  [actright-el type="progress"]
  [actright-el type="form"]
  [actright-el type="social"]
[/actright-container]

Element type values: title, description, image, creator, count, progress, form, sign-button, status, recent-signatures (recent-layout list or carousel), targets (target-layout list or card), donation, social, and spacer. Both the container and each element accept the full styling attribute set of [actright] — every color, font, border, radius, shadow and text-shadow option, plus preset (a saved Appearance & Branding preset) and class. On an element they apply to that element only; on the container they set inherited defaults (a container preset applies to every element, and an element's own values override it). The container also takes layout (column · row · grid), gap, max-width, align, and columns.

Labels on count / progress accept the placeholders {{count}}, {{goal}}, and {{percent}} so you can write your own text — e.g. label="{{count}} people have signed" or label="{{percent}}% of the way there".

The social element shares the petition's canonical link — set its base under Settings → ActRight → Petition site URL.

ActRight Petition

Embed a single petition with full signing capability. Pick a petition from your organization (or enter a slug), choose a layout, and configure display options.

ActRight Petition List

Display a list of petitions, filtered by category and sorted by recency, popularity, or trending status.

ActRight Petition Form

Let visitors create new petitions directly from your WordPress site. The block renders a full petition creation form with configurable defaults.

ActRight Petition Container

Build your own petition layout from only the elements you want, in any order. Pick a petition, then drag in ActRight Element blocks (title, image, count, progress, form, sign button, decision makers, recent signatures, social, donation, spacer, and more). The petition loads once and is shared by every element inside. Each element — and the container itself — exposes the same Colors and Advanced Appearance panels (presets, fonts, radius, spacing, shadow, and a custom CSS class) as the ActRight Petition block. The full attribute reference is in the in-plugin How to Use guide and under Container Layout below.

Whole-petition widgets

Three widgets place a complete petition. Each has a Petition section where you pick the petition from a dropdown of your most recent 100, or type a slug or ID for any other.

One-piece widgets

Fourteen more widgets each place a single piece of a petition, so you can build your own layout with Elementor containers instead of ours:

• Title
• Description
• Image
• Started by
• Signature count
• Progress bar
• Signing form
• Sign button
• Status badge
• Recent signatures
• Decision makers
• Donation
• Share buttons
• Spacer

Styling

Every widget has an ActRight Appearance group on Elementor’s Style tab, with the same colours, fonts, borders, spacing and saved presets the blocks and shortcodes use. Elementor’s own Advanced tab still applies to the widget wrapper as usual.
