For the few people who end up on my site looking for help with WooCommerce, this one’s for you!
Earlier in the week we released WooCommerce 1.4 baked in to which there are a butt-load of new features and code improvements/optimisations.
But that’s not all, we also improved our support resources dramatically with the addition of two new sections on the WooThemes web site;
The new documentation suite is a big improvement on the restrictive Codex we had previously. Running on our own Wikeasi theme it’s now much easier to browse/use, and more importantly it is much easier for us (and our third party developers) to update. The user guide is now rich in detail, the snippets library expanded and the core functionality of the plugin better documented. Eventually, all WooCommerce extensions will be documented here also. This is a resource that will grow over time and become a cornerstone for those looking to build WooCommerce stores, or extend WooCommerce itself via plugins & themes.
The community forum is a big one for us, as all our support forums were only accessible to customers. However, with a large number of users using WooCommerce on it’s own, we wanted to give them a platform to discuss the plugin with their peers, showcase their work and generally get in touch with the growing WooCommerce community.
What’s next?
It’s certainly been an exciting week for us, and with 1.4 out the door we will be aiming to increase momentum as we go into February. Indeed we have some awesome extensions coming this month plus a new theme or two. Stay tuned!
