  1. Add 'show all items' to Stock Manager

    In the stock managment plugin, when you click the 'view inventory' list and it spits out the HTML page with all current inventory, there should be a checkbox to 'show all products' (ie: regardless of stock on item).

    This way we would have a quick way to print out/list all products currently on the site, regardless of quantity in stock.

    • Theme with horizontal navigation

      A theme like the site http://www.zoegas.se should be a great compliment in the Woo family!

      Some off the parts is already in WooThemes but a horizontal navigation and Feature boxes would be great.

      Subpages with large backdrops and text fields.

      • 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.

          • Subscribe & Connect - Option to Open in New Window/Tab

            Great effort is made to get visitors to my client sites - the LAST thing I want to do is send them away! The current method of sending website visitors away hoping they'll use the browser back option is SOOO detrimental!

            Need an option in the Connect Settings field(s) so that the Social Media sites can open in new windows/tabs. ( a la "_blank" )

              • Add Rich Snippet support

                Testing my site - using Whitelight - in Google Web Master tools shows the theme does not support Rich Snippets (https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99170). I can't comment on other themes as I haven't checked, but I'll assume for now they're the same - it would be a big help if you could add support for Rich Snippets to your themes.

                These can help with search engine parsing, and allow (for example) Google to display authorship information next to search results. Anther example would be allowing Google to parse and display event information directly in search results - great for themes such…

                    • Plugin for Amazon Astore php in the WooCommerce themes.

                      One of the frustrating elements of being a non-code person is relying on others to create plugins or widgets to integrate into affiliate programs. I want to use my store to sell via different marketers but am having a hard time finding the correct way to install the Amazon astore php file into the correct theme.

                      • Make themes accessible to screen readers

                        Hello!

                        We're a disability NGO working in Pakistan, and have chosen the WhiteLight theme for our website. We want to set an example for everyone else by having an accessible website. It's largely accessible to people using screen readers, but there are some problems:
                        - feature slider doesn't work with a screen reader
                        - text contrast
                        - input field doesn't seem to be picked up properly

                        I've used an accessibility checker, which gives more details: http://achecker.ca/checker/index.php

                        Some of these can be fixed by us (e.g. contrast between link colour and background), but there are other changes that should be done…

                        • Add DIV Element to Prevent Nesting When Using Column Shortcodes

                          I used multiple columns sections to organize content. Due to the CSS properties columns can nest with each other causing layout problems.

                          The solution was found on this website: http://tutorials.mysitemyway.com/adding-column-layout-shortcodes-to-a-wordpress-theme

                          It adds a zero-pixel, full-width DIV element after every column _last to prevent any nesting issues.

                          Thought it might be a useful addition.

                          • Maintenance Mode IP Whitelist

                            Scenario:

                            You're working on a site prior to launch. Site is locked down, to other than admin, with woo dojo "maintenance mode"

                            You run into an issue/opportunity for someone to take a look and offer some assistance or peer review

                            You'd rather not set them up with admin, or less, user status.

                            So, in the maintenance mode settings, you scroll down to the field where you enter their IP Address to allow for temporary access.

                            When they're done, you can remove their IP.

                            Done.

                            =========================

                            This would be a great idea for a MM improvement, wouldn't you agree?

                            • 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.

                                I create work bespoke to clients and fullfill via download.

                                1. I want to be able to add a 'processing' step to downloadable products. After they pay!

                                2. I want to add their downloadable product to their Order. So they can access within their account.

                                As download product assume's you already have the product ready and waiting for instant download. And it auto completes when they have paid.

                                • Image styling for tab manager plugin

                                  I'm using the appply theme and I discovered that there was no image styling applied to images placed in the Tab Manager plugin. I think the theme designers assumed every image would be in a post, page or product.
                                  It would be nice if the default image styling was consistent throughout the site.
                                  This may be the case with other themes too.

                                  • Update Currency Converter to automatically show a selected currency dependent on page language

                                    For people with multi language sites - and there are a lot I would imagine given the effort being put into making WooThemes translatable - a problem arises that the home currency is shown on every page. I have a Thai - English site and home currency is THB. However that is massively off putting to a visitor from the US or Europe who just navigate away thinking the site is not relevant based on the currency showing.

                                      what about a tablet designed theme, like the new mashable or wplist? could be really great.

                                      • Make Simplicity responsive

                                        Please make simplicity fully responsive. It is just fine in many browsers but a real mobile experience would be really nice.

                                        • Continuity Program Management for Direct Response Marketers (Auto-Ship/Auto-Bill)

                                          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:

                                          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.
                                          3) adjust the shipping date for the monthly recurring…
