Ardent Africa
The Ardent Africa plugin lets you show live content from Ardent Africa on your own site. Use the block editor, a shortcode, or, if you build with Elementor, a native Ardent widget, and your page shows a campaign’s progress, a petition’s signatures, upcoming events, a grid of causes, marketplace listings, open jobs, an entity’s TrustScore, or a supporter’s impact badge, always up to date.
It is read-only and safe:
- No payments happen on your site. Donate, Sign, and Get-tickets buttons link visitors to ardent.africa, where the secure on-platform flow runs.
- No private data is fetched, only the public information already shown on ardent.africa.
- Your API key is stored on your server and never exposed to visitors.
Blocks and shortcodes
- Campaign:
[ardent_campaign slug="clean-water-for-tamale"] - Petition:
[ardent_petition slug="pass-the-bill"] - Donation progress:
[ardent_donation_progress slug="clean-water-for-tamale"] - Causes grid:
[ardent_causes limit="6" category="Education"] - Events:
[ardent_events limit="5"] - Marketplace:
[ardent_marketplace limit="6" q="photography"] - Jobs:
[ardent_jobs limit="5" location="Accra"] - TrustScore:
[ardent_review slug="accra-clinic"] - Impact badge:
[ardent_badge username="ama"]
Each block also auto-renders when you paste an ardent.africa link into the editor (oEmbed).
Elementor
If you use Elementor, the same items are available as native widgets under an Ardent Africa category in the widget panel: drag one in, set the slug/options in the sidebar, and see a live preview. Requires Elementor 3.5+.
External services
This plugin connects to the Ardent Africa public API to display content you choose to embed.
- Public API:
https://api.ardent.africa/public/v1, fetched server-side with your API key to render campaigns, petitions, events, causes, marketplace listings, jobs, reviewed entities, and profiles. See https://docs.ardent.africa/docs/developers and the terms at https://docs.ardent.africa/docs/developers/terms. - oEmbed provider:
https://ardent.africa/api/oembed, used by WordPress to render a pasted Ardent link. - Embedded widgets (optional fallback):
https://docs.ardent.africa/embed/…, sandboxed iframes for the same content.
No visitor data is sent to Ardent by the plugin.
