Poor documentation – simple features broken

  • Documentation is in the form of a few videos. There is no full reference material that describes all supported shortcodes and their options.
    The simplest code, wp_car_button, is broken. It displays only the button itself. The item description and price are both displayed with the “hidden” attribute.

    Hi, sorry to hear about your bad experience. However there is a link on the front page here that shares plenty of documentation. Click the following link wp-shopping-cart to learn more.

    Let me know if you need more information or help.

    Thank you

    No, that page is not at all helpful. What is so difficult about providing a comprehensive reference list that details all supported shortcodes and includes a complete description of all the options/parameters that each one supports? There should be one document that details all of that information in one location, not a collection of disjointed videos.

    For example:
    [short code 1] == summary of what it does
    [parameter 1] == required/optional == syntax, description, acceptable values
    [parameter 2] == required/optional == syntax, description, acceptable values
    …
    [parameter n] == required/optional == syntax, description, acceptable values
    usage examples
    [short code 2] == summary of what it does
    [parameter 1] == required/optional == syntax, description, acceptable values
    [parameter 2] == required/optional == syntax, description, acceptable values
    …
    [parameter n] == required/optional == syntax, description, acceptable values
    usage examples

    I’ll bet you could write that document in a fraction of the time it takes to make just one of those videos, and it would be infinitely more useful.

    While we’re on the topic of documentation, how about providing a similarly comprehensive document that provides details of all the available filters that can be used to augment the plug-in?
