The Gather plugin connects your WordPress site to your Gather account and embeds live obituary data on any page through three shortcodes:
[gather-carousel] — a scrolling carousel of recent obituaries, with hover preview and a “View All” link.
[gather-search] — a full obituary directory with text search, year filter, A–Z filter, and pagination.
[gather-obit-subscribe] — a popup that lets visitors sign up for an email notification whenever you publish a new obituary.
When a visitor follows an obituary link, the plugin serves a server-rendered obit page at /obituaries/
Customers who run the Gather Remember experience on their own domain can opt into a server-side proxy that forwards /obituaries/
What it doesn’t do
The plugin does not send analytics, telemetry, or any data to Gather without a customer-initiated action. Settings only update when an admin saves them. The proxy only runs when the “Host Remember Pages” toggle is on.
The plugin requires a normal dynamic WordPress install. It does not support static-site export workflows — obituary routing, canonical redirects, 404s, and the optional Remember-page proxy are all handled server-side by PHP at request time, which a static export can’t reproduce.
Multi-location funeral homes
Each shortcode accepts an fhkey attribute to scope the obit list to a specific funeral home, and a token attribute to use a different website token. After activation, the full reference lives in WP at Gather → Docs → Shortcode attributes.
External services
This plugin connects to Gather (https://gather.app), the obituary and memorial platform your funeral home uses. Gather is the source of the obituary data, search results, livestreams, notification sign-ups, sitemap, and — optionally — the full “Remember” memorial experience that the plugin displays on your WordPress site. The plugin is the bridge between your Gather account and your site, so it requires a Gather account and integration key to function.
It communicates with Gather’s API and content-delivery network in the following cases, and no others:
Loading obituaries (carousel/search widgets, an obituary page, or a sitemap fetch): your WordPress server requests obituary content from the Gather API (api.gather.app for Production, api.gatherqa.app for QA), authenticated with your integration key. No personal visitor data is sent — only the request for content.
Notification sign-up: when a visitor submits the [gather-obit-subscribe] form, their name and email address are sent to the Gather API to register the subscription. This happens only on form submission.
Test Connection: an admin-initiated request to the Gather API to verify the integration is working.
Host Remember Pages (off by default): when an admin enables this option, visitor requests to /obituaries/
Obituary photos shown in the widgets and pages are loaded by the visitor’s browser from the Gather image CDN.
The plugin sends no analytics or usage telemetry.
