General Ideas

Welcome to the WooThemes ideas board!

Please post your idea in the respective forum. We have a separate forum for WooCommerce.

How can we improve WooThemes?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • 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".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

  1. Improve the way printed posts look

    I added css to my theme so navigation elements (menu/sidebar), footers and ads are not printed. This makes much better use of paper.

    Would be nice if WooThemes could make this easy for others: add checkboxes for things you don't want to see on print.

    I also add my links as footnotes below the post so people, that could be an option as well "Print links as footnotes".

    Example? Any post on http://www.eenmanierom.nl/.

    I've seen earlier declined requests for this, hope this one gets more votes!

    • 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…

      • Create an Uncrate.com style theme

        i love uncrate.com
        Do you currently have a theme or would you be interested in developing a WP theme along the same lines?
        I run a few affilate sites and know there's a pretty big market out there for this relatively simple design.
        It would fit in very well with the excellent WooCommerce plugin.
        Pretty simple blog style, clean and cool

        • Categorize features and show specific categories on each page

          This applies to the "Features by WooThemes" plug-in.

          Currently, there is no provision for display different features on different pages. Please consider adding the ability to categories features and show specific categories on each page.

          • Have the shortcodes compatible with other themes

            I am using another theme from two years, and i was using shortcodes on it. If i switch to Woothemes, there are some shortcodes that are equal so it will broke my old posts style. If the shortcodes of the theme had an unique woothemes names, they wont clash with other themes shortcodes so we can use both.

            • Create "Our Team" Plugin

              Yes this very idea was declined previously (Magnus Aug 2011 http://ideas.woothemes.com/forums/72423-general-ideas-/suggestions/2123397-i-d-like-a-team-page-template-showing-people-s-pho) but I wonder if that was prior to the development of the "Empire" theme that has the exact functionally requested? (http://demo.woothemes.com/empire/templates/meet-the-team/)

              Listing the people associated with an organization is a very common use case and it would be wonderful to have an easier manner to manage that.

              Custom post types is probably the "proper" way to go, not sure if CPT can be budled up and distributed some how or not.

              Thought it was worth a new post here to see the idea gains anymore traction…

                        • Print Shipping Labels

                          Here's what I need:

                          I need to be able to print a FedEx label to a ZP500 Plus, FedEx label printer, in a variety of label sizes.

                          It can work with, or without, the FedEx shipping "rate" plugin. The reason many people don't use actual rates is because repeat customers will be charged varying shipping costs for the same repeat order. That's because FedEx, and all the others, change their rates on a regular basis, and it makes the retailer look as though they're trying to gouge the customer on shipping prices. One day the price to ship to a…

                              • Create a marketplace on woothemes website where we can sell our own child themes

                                Thought it would be an awesome idea if you guys can add a marketplace for the community to add their own child themes. This way we can make money by selling our own edited themes and you make a percentage off us. It's a win/win.

                                Not only that but customers will be able to choose a theme more suited to what we are looking for rather than having to start from the themes you have provided.

                                If this doesn't happen....am I aloud to make a website to do this myself...hahaha

                                • Add "Slides" post type in Function theme

                                  Function uses blog posts for the slider instead of the "Slides" custom post type like other business themes.

                                  This was done based on the design spec of the theme.

                                  Adding an option for a Slide post type would make the theme operate like other business themes.

                                    • Sort and set order products in shop - View all in admin

                                      Sort and set order products in shop - View all in admin and drag and drop them in the order you want them in shop. Unfortunately when you have to many products in category i.e. more than one page you lose the ability to bring forward the earlier products listed.
                                      The filter effectively needs amount added as well as categories.

                                        • Optional Header Text

                                          On business sites it is very common to have phone numbers, main contact email, etc. in the header so it is visible immediately on each page. Need this ability on all themes IMHO.
