  1. Video embed in Canvas Slider

    To get the business slider to work more like the Simplicity slider where you can have video in a slide that actually looks like it's part of the layout rather than shoehorned in there...

    • Subscribe and connect needs to be more customizable

      While the Subscribe and Connect is a great idea it's often doesn't keep up with the fickleness of the Internet. Look how many ideas and requests that have been made here related to it.

      Today a lot of users want to add Pinterest, Vimeo, and Yelp. Tomorrow it'll be some other new service that's trending. Many could probably care less if Delicious and/or Flickr was still in there or not.

      There will always be some service missing or irrelevant for some. So optionally provide a way for us to add new and custom linked icons, reorder them, etc through the…

      • (Digital Download) Whole Album & Individual Album Tracks Available For Download & Dynamic .zip Creation

        As a few other ideas have alluded to but not explicitly asked for is the ability to download single tracks from an music album and download albums as a whole from one SKU.

        We have started to use the Unsigned theme as the basis to create an artists and record label websites at the moment and are very excited how far we can take this new theme. The functionality it offers just about covers every possible need we have except for the ability to easily set up a method to sell individual tracks from an album or an album as…

        • Before sunsetting a theme create a Canvas skin

          Woothemes has alienated many customers using industry-specific themes that are "no longer popular".

          I recommend that you first create a new Canvas "skin" that is similar to the old theme before sunsetting the old theme. This way your customers at least have a option vs. you just shutting down support for a theme.

          • alphabetize typography list

            it's hell to search the typography list because it's NOT alphabetized. I've found some Google Fonts I like, but it's hard to tell if they are available in woo themes short code because of this

            • Featured Post widget

              Create a generic version of portfolio widget that can be configured to pull other post-types (in given taxonomies etc).

              This could be used on homepage/landing pages

              • Add Editorial Features to Canvas or as a Plugin

                Editorial has some really great, groundbreaking features but since you don't plan on making it responsive it seems like it's going to go to waste. It would be fantastic if Editorial-type features could be implemented as options in Canvas or as a plugin.

                • change main / featured displayed image on selection change

                  Can we have the ability to set a new main image on a product page when a change of a variation is selected.
                  so the featured image is displayed by default. If the user selects a new variation such as a new colour the displayed image is changed.
                  So basically it is connecting an image to a variation option which is then displayed on the current product page.

                  • Fixed/Floating widget area

                    It'd be nice to be able to fix the position of a widget area so it stays visible even when scrolling down.

                    • WYSIWYG enabled custom fields

                      The idea is simple, as the Content Builder offers different types of fields ( textbox, checkbox, textarea ) i'd love an addition of a WYSIWYG field type so the author can add data like he would via the Visual editor on the main content block

                      • Can you build a theme or components for auditing in a SMB environment?

                        Many small and medium sized business are putting a lot of time in setting up and maintaining 'management systems' including OHSAS and ISO. Procedures can be put in a company wiki (Wikeasy), incidents can be handeld by SupportPress, but I think it's nice to have a theme that incorporates Auditing as well. A good theme or a set of components can be of great help for businesses to be more effective in the otherwise endless paperwork.

                        • Background sets!

                          I came on board with WooThemes because of the consistency in design of your themes and because (at the time) the themes had a distinctive and beautiful look about them. The themes are still well crafted and I really enjoy the consistency of where to find everything on the back end as I travel between any of the many sites I host for clients across North America, but I have been a bit disappointed with the newer themes not continuing to have that very artistic look about them. It seems that a decision was made to 'go utilitarian' and just…

                            This is the case for the shelflife and one pager theme but probably more (maybe even all of them). Just to notify:)

                              I find myself searching for my tickets, maybe it’ll be a good idea to create a tab ‘my tickets’ on the ‘my account’ page (that’s actually the place i find myself going to when i search my tickets). Even if it’s just a redirect it'll be enough.

                              • Provide ability to add Shipping logos to Cart Page

                                On the screen where the customer selects their shipping, whether USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL or any other provider, would it be possible to allow the webmaster to upload their photos or logos of the shipping company? Or if Woo Commerce wanted to provide some default logos but that would not be a necessity. Currently there is only text but I think having an image alongside the text would be great to assist the customer with their shipping selection.

                                • Get rid of username field. Customer should only enter an email address and password.

                                  In e commerce it is very outdated for customers to have to create a username to buy a product online, it's just not practical in today's modern online environment.

                                  Just get them to enter an email address and a password and that's it. Keep it simple for customers :)

                                  • Continuity Program Management

                                    Marketers that offer a continuity program where a customer is enrolled in an auto ship program, need specialized tools for managing these programs and need to allow the customer to manage their own programs as well. Here are some features that would be extremely helpful in a plugin, or core functionality, to anyone offering this type of continuity program:

                                    Self-Service customer management interface allowing the customer to :
                                    1) Increase/decrease/add products to a continuity program
                                    2) change the billing date of the program or the date their credit card is charged.

                                    • Coupon Description & Auto Add Feature

                                      Two ideas regarding the coupon system

                                      1. Add a description field to coupons which would also display when the coupon is applied in the cart so people can see what it is they're recieving

                                      2. Add a feature where a coupon gives you a free product which automatically gets added to the cart when the coupon is applied

                                      I only ask for these features because I'm not able to add them in and haven't been able to find anyone who can add them in without editing core files!

                                        • Need a way to combine shipping methods

                                          I need a way to to have woocommerce combine shipping methods,

                                          currently i can ship items with Canada Post, Flat rate and Shipping rates but if customers add to cart a mix of items it only defaults to one shipping method or another it does not combine shipping methods to give an accurate way of shipping products.

                                          Please Please please make this available soon.
