Hi, Dear WordPress Tooltip plugin users,
I hope this message find you are doing well and have wonderful days with your family 🙂
We recently received a message from a user of our wordpress tooltips plugin. He mentioned that he had read our previous document on “How to Create WooCommerce Product Directory in 2 Minutes” and expressed that it was exactly what he was looking for. However, he was unable to find this specific feature in the free version of our plugin.
In response, we politely explained to him that, as stated in our document, the woocommerce directory function is only available in the wordpress tooltips pro plus version.
To our surprise, the user expressed that he did not necessarily require the extensive features of the wordpress tooltips Pro Plus version. What he truly desired was a user-friendly woocommerce directory which would enhance the navigation experience for his buyers. He mentioned that our woocommerce product directory enables users to easily browse through different categories and subcategories of products, display the actual sales price below the product name…., among other useful features. Nevertheless, he simply wanted a directory that could list woocommerce products in a structured manner, enabling visitors to quickly find what they are looking for without having to navigate through individual product pages.
We truly appreciate the user’s feedback and understand his need for a simplified and organized woocommerce product directory. We will take this into consideration for future developments of our plugin, in order to provide a more tailored solution for our users.
We have released WordPress Tooltips Free 9.1.7, adding the WooCommerce product directory feature to WordPress ToolTip Free to give more WooCommerce users access to this feature 🙂
