Goods Catalog was created to help you organize a simple catalog of products on WordPress site.
Main features
- Unlimited categories of products with unlimited depth of subcategories
- Tumbnails for categories and products
- The separate sidebar for the catalog, to show different widgets on the catalog and other pages.
- Shortcodes
- Widgets
The catalog created with Goods Catalog is easy to navigate: at the main catalog page are located all parent categories of products, at the category page firstly are located subcategories and then products of the category.
Shortcodes
- Use shortcode [goods_newest] to display the newest products anywhere in the site: on post or page. For example, to show 6 products, type: [goods_newest number=6]
- [goods_categories] to display the list of goods categories (many thanks to Alexander Chizhov & Pineapple Design Studio)
- [goods_tags] to display list of all products' tags
- [goods_sitemap] to display sitemap of the catalog (testing mode)
- [goods_term] to display category or tag by ID. Usage: [goods_term goods_category|goods_tag id=X], ex.: [goods_term goods_category id=3] to display category with ID=3, or [goods_term goods_tag id=5] to display tag with ID=5. It only displays title with link and description, without image.
