How can we improve WooThemes?

  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

  1. Booking calendar plugin

    It would be so useful to have a booking calendar plugin that can be used on any theme. You're already halfway there with Diner's reservation bookings. It would be great to see something that can be used either for reservations (hotel, restaurant), or service bookings (consulting, spa)

    There are a few available plugins like this for Wordpress, but I haven't found one that is particularly good. The Woo team could definitely build a superior plugin.

      • Please add event management as a plugin so any theme can have an event calendar for site customers to see and even add to.

        I'd really like to be able to set up an event and have clients schedule a timeslot and pay for a service in that timeslot.

        • Flexslider: Add Options to Allow Custom, Separate Placement of Next/Prev Links

          Option 1 (Good): Add a couple of options so a developer can choose which elements the prev & next links should be populated inside of.

          Example:

          $('.flexslider').flexslider({
          prev: 'li.prev',
          next: 'li.next'
          )};

          Option 2 (Better): Allow the prev/next links to be auto-placed based on pre-defined class names.

          Example:

          <ul>
          <li><a href="#" class="flexslider-prev">Previous</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Slide 1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Slide 2</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Slide 3</a></li>
          <li><a href="#" class="flexslider-next">Next</a></li>
          </ul>

          Option 3 (Best): allow the developer to specify which elements should be used as the Previous and Next links. Basically the same as Option 1, except instead of the links being generated inside the selected…

          • Create a Theme Manager plugin for Multisite

            For those club members using WP Multisite, it's quite tedious to have to update WooThemes manually.

            How about a "theme manager" plugin like this one?
            http://shooterthemes.com/plugin/

            Once you have installed the plugin and signed in with your Woo credentials, you would automatically be notified when an update to the WooThemes you have installed is available.

            To take it one step further, how about an auto-upgrade feature?

            Then, to really make it awesome, how about the ability to see new WooThemes as soon as they’re released?

            • Testimonials - random rotatation - enhance testimonial freshness

              For the testimonials plug in it would be great to have the option for the testimonials to rotate randomly when the page is refreshed

              For example

              I have set up 9 testimonials and set to display 3 maximum, I'd like those to change so that when a customer goes through the site they are seeing different testimonials as they look at different product pages.

              My testimonials are generic about our holidays rather than focussed on one holiday (product)

              Currently the only way to do this is to set up a new widget area for every product page and specify a…

              • Photo proofing plugin

                I could really use a photo proofing plugin and I know there is a lot of demand for this after searching for a long time. It should be possible for the photographers clients to log in and pick there favorites from a photo session and leave comments for the retoucher. The possibility to pay for a selection to print or download the files.

                • WooThemes Advertising Plugin

                  Similar to OIOpublisher or WPAdCenter, I think WooThemes should release a plugin that allows WooThemes to offer better advertising/ tracking capabilities. This would then be integrated across all themes similar to the Woo Menus/ Woo Sidebar features that were added.

                  • Implement the "Content Builder" from Listings theme as a plugin

                    This is a really nice tool for creating custom taxonomies.

                        Reordering courses (just as lessons) is a fundamental feature. Arranging them by date is pain in the ass. Please add this feature soon!

                        • featured

                          Add a widget which enables us to easily display posts in various forms/layouts on the homepage/sidebars:

                          1 column, 2 column, small/medium/large thumbnail, post list below big thumbnail, offset option, sort/order by settings etc.

                          The "Genesis Featured Posts widget Amplified" (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-featured-widget-amplified/) is a great example for such a widget.

                          • Add text overlay to Slide type in WooSlider

                            You can accomplish a text overlay on top of an image with WooSlider using the Post slide type, but this isn't possible with the Slide type. I would suggest adding more options to the Slide type in WooSlider so you can overlay text on top of an image. I've found it confusing for some users when you have to explain to them that they edit images and text in their slides under "Posts" instead of "Slides" in wp-admin.

                                • Lead Capture Widget/Plugin - Which integrates with iContact, MailChimp, Awebber, GetResponse etc, etc

                                  I would like to have a plugin / widget area that can be used for lead capture purposes. Collecting a visitors email or email and name.

                                  Allow us (user) to choose or upload a custom submit/sign up button.

                                  The plugin should also integrate with all the major email auto-responder providers such as:

                                  iContact
                                  Awebber
                                  MailChimp
                                  GetResponse
                                  InfusionSoft
                                  Constant Contact
                                  Etc, etc.

                                  Also, being able to add a custom text title and/or a custom title image would be great

                                  • Dynamic Pricing: Free shipping / Shipping discounts

                                    The Dynamic Pricing plugin is useful but I feel it has one big thing missing: free shipping!

                                    We'd like it to be easy to allow people who spend over £X on items in a certain category to get free shipping.

                                    As we are already using complex table rates shipping this is not possible to add to the table rates of shipping, so a simple option in Dynamic Pricing would solve this.

                                        • WooSidebars to add as well as replace.

                                          Hi,

                                          WooSidebars is great. Sometimes I just need to add a widget for certain pages. So instead of replicating the entire rosta of widgets assigned to primary. Perhaps it would be better to have the ability to have the new widget just add the additional widgets and not replace.

                                          For instance. I could have a new widget area called WooCommerce. Then set the parameters so when I am on a WooCommerce page (product page, category page etc..) It adds the widgets from this widget area in addition to the primary widgets. These widgets would probably be the cart widget etc..
