[Donations Form Block] One-time donations incorrectly show a 'Next Donation Date' in confirmation email

[rw-ye]

Impacted plugin

None / Other

Quick summary

When making a one-time donation, the email that gets sent out with the subject You’ve donated to [site title] shows a Next Donation Date, even though the donation is one-time.

This is causing confusion for users who make a one-time donation and think that they may be charged again.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add Donations Form Block to site.
2. Make a one-time donation.
3. The email you receive with the subject You’ve donated to [site name] will mention a Next Donation Date.
