My organization is in the process of planning our Giving Tuesday campaign for the first time since starting to use EveryAction. As part of the campaign, we would like to create a Giving Tuesday landing page on our WordPress site and embed our Contribution Form from EveryAction, along with a progress thermometer so donors can see how close we are to reaching our goal. The last fundraising software we used provided an embed link for the thermometer along with one for the form itself, but I can’t seem to find that on EA. Does EA have this capability, or are there suggestions for how we can still have this visual integrated with the form?

Contribution Page Progress Thermometer

Hey Sarah! As you noted, there is no out of the box approach here that can easily solve your problem.
If you have access to someone with decent front-end development skills, though, I’ve documented how to solve that problem at https://www.paulkittredge.dev/sample/modify-progress-meter.html. Essentially you can grab the details of the progress meter as a JSON object, and then manipulate it however you’d like on your website. A quick note that the JSON endpoint that the progress meter references is helpfully not cached, which means that on every page reload, you’ll get real-time data.
