Tarot Card Oracle

توسط chillichalli

Tarot Card Oracle helps you publish interactive readings on your WordPress site using your own deck artwork, your own spreads, and your own interpretations.

If a card needs a different meaning depending on where it lands in a spread, you can do that. Define a unique interpretation for each card in each position.

Ideal for
* Tarot readers and professional practitioners
* Oracle deck creators and writers
* Coaches and creators who want interactive content
* Rune and cartouche style readings

What visitors can do
* Draw cards for a full spread reading
* Draw a daily card
* Draw a random card
* Optionally type a question before drawing
* Shuffle the deck with a realistic animation before selecting cards

What you can build in WordPress admin
* Readings (spreads)
* Positions for each reading
* Cards with your own images and text
* Descriptions that connect one card, one position, and one reading

Premium features
* Validation wizard to spot missing links and configuration problems
* Payment enabled readings
* Email list and marketing integrations, including ActiveCampaign, MailChimp, and Brevo
* Additional layouts and display options

Free version note
Older reviews may mention limits from earlier versions. Those limits were removed in version 1.0.0. If you need payments, integrations, or validation tools, Premium is the right fit.

How to

Tarot Card Oracle is built from four core parts
1. Readings, the spread definitions
2. Positions, the slots inside a reading
3. Cards, your deck
4. Descriptions, the meaning of one card in one position for one reading

If something feels missing on the front end, check this order
* Positions are assigned to the Reading
* Cards are assigned to the Reading
* Descriptions are linked to both a Card and a Position

Admin menus
* Dashboard, overview and embed tools
* Readings, define spreads
* Positions, define and assign positions
* Cards, define cards and assign to readings
* Descriptions, define meanings per card and per position
* Demo Data, install sample reading and sample media
* Wizard, create a reading framework quickly
* Status, system info and recent logs
* Orders (Premium), payment enabled reading orders
* Validation (Premium), find and fix configuration gaps

سوالات متداول

How do I start if I feel overwhelmed

Start with Demo Data and the videos.
Then use the Wizard to generate the structure for a new reading.
Links are in the Videos section above.

What is the best way to build a reading

Use the Wizard.
If you prefer manual setup, follow this order
1. Create a Reading
2. Create Positions and assign them to the Reading
3. Create Cards and assign them to the Reading
4. Create Descriptions for each Card in each Position
5. Embed the Reading using the Gutenberg block or shortcode

How do I display a reading on my site

Use the Gutenberg block or copy a shortcode from Card Oracle Dashboard.
You can embed by slug using the name attribute, or by ID.

Can I use reading names instead of IDs in shortcodes

Yes. As of version 1.1.9, you can use reading slugs with the name attribute.
The plugin looks for a slug match first, then falls back to the reading title.

How does the shuffle cards feature work

Version 1.1.9 includes a shuffle button that animates the deck and randomizes card order before you select cards.
You can shuffle as many times as you want before drawing.

How does the email system report work

On the Status tab, click Email system report.
The plugin will try to open your email client with a pre filled message to support@chillichalli.com.
If your email client does not open, it falls back to a copy method.

Where are settings located

WordPress Admin, then Settings, then Card Oracle.
You can configure RSS feed checking, cache duration, debug logging, default deck, and default draw count.

Which payment providers are supported in Premium

Premium includes payment enabled readings.
If you use payments, ensure you are on the latest Premium version and review the Payment Provider settings screen, as provider availability depends on your Premium build.
