eCards Lite Plugin

eCards is a WordPress plugin used to send electronic cards to friends. It can be implemented in a page, a post or the sidebar.

There are two ways you can use this plugin:

1. Add the shortcode [ecard] to a post or a page.
2. Call the function from a template file: <?php if (function_exists('display_ecardMe')) { echo display_ecardMe(); } ?>.

If your images are already uploaded and they are present in your Media Library, use their IDs to display them:

[ecard id="1, 2, 3, 4, 78"] 

The IDs correspond to images in your Media Library. This feature eliminates the need to manually attach images and also eliminates the need to upload the same image multiple times, just to have it attached to different posts or pages.
