We'll create fresh WordPress site with Kiva installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
For those who wish to help others but who have limited means to do so Kiva provides an opportunity to give a little (as little as $25) and help people around the world who have business plans to lift themselves up economically. Loans from individuals get pooled as necessary to fund people. I have been very impressed with this system that allows people to help others by using small means to make great things happen.
I was very happy to take the opportunity to take the code written by Connor Boyack and turn it into the Kiva plugin for WordPress so that people can raise the visibility of Kiva by displaying loans in the fundraising stage with a link donate.
The plugin options allow you to choose how many loans to show. You may also choose to display text information, an image, or both for the loans.
Options include:
The plugin allows for the function call anywhere in your page templates:
<?php show_kiva(); ?>
If you use widgets, you can place this shortcode in a text widget:
[SHOW-KIVA]
