Question 1

Can I Disable My Competition?

Accepted Answer

There's no off switch. End it early by moving the Ends date to now, or delete it from your Competitions dashboard if you don't need the data.

There's no disable switch, but you can stop entries straight away by ending the Competition early.

Open your Competition and go to the Setup tab.
Set Ends to the current date and time, and save.

The widget then tells visitors the Competition has ended. Your entries stay where they are, so you can still draw winners, and you can reopen it later by moving Ends forward again. The date settings are in Start & End Dates.

Don't need the Competition at all? Delete it instead. Open your Competitions dashboard, click the actions menu at the end of its row, choose Delete and type the Competition's name to confirm. Deleting permanently removes all entries, prizes and reporting, and it can't be undone, so export anything you want to keep first.

Taking the embed code off your site only hides the widget there. The Competition keeps running on its Gleam landing page until it ends.
