  1. "Request a shipping quote" shipping extension

    I'd like a method of submitting a product configuration to the site admin for a shipping quote, which would then allow the user to receive a shipping quote, apply it to their order, and allow them to make payment based on the total cost of product + shipping.

    • Testimonials change to CSS values

      The testimonials widget is using depreciated HTML <blockquote> tags and I was wondering if this could be replaced with a CSS variable to assure HTML5 compliance.

        • Align the bottom of shop products on main shop page in themes like PixelPress where there is a frame around the product.

          With PixelPress and other themes which render a frame around a product in the main shop page, the bottom of the frame varies in its location based on the typography in the product description, and the buy button aligns with the bottom so they can appear at any height. This looks sloppy. It would be great to have a grid system that determines the overall height of the product frame so that at least the bottom would appear at a grid-determined distance, giving it some visual coherence, and it would also be nice to have the buttons appear before the…

          • layout landing pages Canvas

            One thing that got me to like about the Canvas template is that it lacks a layout landing page. This is a good option to think about the fut

            • Add option to include search box in Canvas menu

              I was surprised to not find the ability to place a WordPress search box in the menu bar for the Canvas theme. Maybe I missed it in the various options...still looking...but this would be a helpful upgrade.

              • Testimonials by ID - allow more than one testimonial to be specified

                Currently in the testimonials plug in only one testimonial can be specified by ID.

                It would be good if you could specify multiple Testimonials.

                For example

                You have 6 testimonials, set to display 3 maximum in a widgetised area
                That will always only display the first three testimonials - so the over 3 will never be seen and your customers are always seeing the same testimonials

                Please vote this up if you want people to see many testimonials for your excellent company!

                • Widgets that work like the Footer Widgets (e.g. page template?)

                  There was a popular idea about widgetizing the home page of Canvas and I realize it's been completed, but if the widgets (on a page template maybe?) worked more like the footer widgets (e.g. able to choose 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) and were then styled (1 column @ 100%, 2 columns @ 50% etc.) we could turn any page into a "portal" page for widgets.

                  I show what I'm talking about here:

                        • Add to cart as per logged in users

                          Hi,
                          Currently woocommerce is supporting only cookie based products add to cart.

                          Which means if you hide woo commerce for guest users and only allow registered users to purchase/add product to cart, woo commerce is not the solution right now.

                          You have set the setting to not to clear cart after logout and do the following:
                          1) Create 2 users for login to the site for product purchase
                          2) Create 2-3 demo products and set all the settings
                          3) Logged in with 1 user and add the 1-2 products in cart using any of the browsers firefox, chrome or IE …

                          • Promotion Banner & Introductory Message

                            Promotion Banner & Introductory Message should not be placed under Theme Options / Homepage but rather it should be place on the WP left navigation menu like Feature, Testinmonials, and Slides. These options will usually be setup by non-admins who won't have access to Theme Options.

                                • PayPal Pro 3D Secure

                                  When the customer is passed to 3D secure rather than take them to a different webpage, why not embed the page in the original website so the 3D Secure would be done on the sales website rather than taking away and then back again.

                                  I think that makes sense :P

                                  • add ability to charge for shipment tracking

                                    would be great to be able to charge for tracking services, delivery confirmation, etc. You would simply define these areas and then during checkout there would be a checkbox asking if you wanted tracking. The tracking option offered would depend on the service chosen (i.e. tracking option for First class, or tracking option for Priority Mail) as they have different price structures

                                    • Support WordPress post formats with different css stylings.

                                      It would be realy nice if Woothemes would support the default WordPress formats just as the default WordPress themes do.

                                      • hfeed Warning: At least one field must be set for HatomEntry.

                                        Would be great if this could be fixed in future:

                                        Warning: At least one field must be set for HatomEntry.
                                        Warning: Missing required field “entry-title”.
                                        Warning: Missing required field “updated”.
                                        Warning: Missing required hCard “author”.
