Unregistered vs registered users

  • Hi, this looks like a wonderful plugin.

    I have a few questions I hope is ok to ask:

    1.
    What happens if an unregistered customer adds to wishlist and then closes the browser button. And then he returns 2 weeks later. Is the wishlist still there?

    2.
    What happens if the unregistered user adds to wishlist and then he registers. Will the wishlist be assigned to that user, so he can log out and then back in – and still see his wishlist?

    3. How does it create wishlists for unregistered users? Does it register a “fake user” in the DB? I would very much like to keep my userbase as clean as possible, so tha unregistered users aren’t registered as “fake” users.

    4. Can the admin clean out “old wishlists” to keep the DB clean?

  • Hi @gomle,

    If you would like to allow guests who are either authenticated users or unauthenticated users to add their favorite products to wishlist function, you can control the wishlist availability by enabling it for authenticated users/ unauthenticated users only in the back-end settings https://prnt.sc/1qj3zhk

    All wishlists will be saved on the dashboard and buyers can also see a counter showing how many items have been added to their wishlist: a notification for urging them to checkout or to manage the list by removing unwanted items, even when they return to the website as an unregistered customer or authenticated registers.

    It’s possible to see all wish lists that a product was included in and check out all wish lists created by a user. Our plugin can count how many time products were added to the wishlist. You can go to the list of products and then you can see wishlist column however you can’t clean out “old wishlist” in the admin

    Thanks.

    For a site with heavy traffic and many unregistered users, is it possible to run some kind of DB query to easily clean out the wishlists after they are left abandoned for e.g. 30 days. Can you provide such query?

    Hi @gomle

    #2. Just to clarify, our plugin stored unregistered user and registered user wishlist in different keys. So, after signing out, the wishlist will be replaced by another one from this computer. You can watch the screen record video here https://www.screencast.com/t/fNTl8DQjZup

    #3. It won’t register a fake user, only create a row in the wp_options table with the name like that https://www.screencast.com/t/DrZPHeUM1. The new row only was created when a visitor add a product to the wishlist – that means hasn’t a new row for everyone.

    We’ll add more information to this row to store the created date or updated/modified date so you can run the query later. Currently, you can run the query to clear the abandoned wishlist for e.g. 30 days. Sorry about that!

    sorry to jump into this conversation to report a couple of bugs/missing features:
    1) there’s no heart icon when hovering on a product but just a “add to wishlist” button. Is it a premium feaure?
    2) if disabled for unregistered users, the button doesn’t show any warning message as indicated in plugin’s settings
    3) there’s no wishlist column in the products list
