Modifying Print Invoices and Packing Lists Templates

When our Print Invoices & Packing Lists rewrite was released, we talked about how customizing templates was modified.

To that end, a more modular template approach was taken, along with the addition of ample WordPress hooks to allow changes changes as needed. (Our developer…

Moving WooCommerce Upsells on Product Pages

Your WooCommerce products can have upsells assigned to them so that you can encourage customers to buy different versions or more expensive products while visiting your product page. You can add these under Product Data > Linked Products while editing a product, and the upsells will be shown at the end of your product description. However, most times this is at the bottom of your product page. What if customers don’t end up scrolling all…

Create a “My Memberships” section shortcode with WooCommerce Memberships

Today’s question comes from Scott: Can I use or create a shortcode to have the “My Memberships” area outside of the “My Account” page?

How to Generate a Post Excerpt Outside the Loop

When you work with WordPress, you become pretty familiar with using the WP_Post object or objects for custom post types. For example, while working with WooCommerce, products use the WC_Product post object (or the object for a class that inherits this, such as WC_Product_Variation).
