Collection for WooCommerce

Only the categories and tags that have conditions are managed; a product’s other categories and tags are never touched. With “Remove it, also when it was added by hand” a product you put into a smart collection by hand is taken out again when it does not match. Choose “Remove it only if the conditions added it” or “Keep it” (per collection, or as the store default) to keep products added by hand.

A notice next to the conditions explains the chosen setting and how many products are in the category now. When you save changed conditions that would remove products, the plugin lists them first with “Save and remove them”, “Keep the products added by hand” and “Cancel”. Preview matching products shows the numbers at any time.

With “Remove it, also when it was added by hand” they stay only if they match. With “Remove it only if the conditions added it” or “Keep it” they always stay, because the conditions did not add them.

Yes. Add conditions on Products → Tags exactly like on categories. A category collection can use a smart tag (“Tag is equal to Last few”) and the other way round.

At once when a product is created or updated (admin, Quick and Bulk Edit, REST API, imports, other plugins) or its stock, price or variations change; and for all products in the background after you change a collection’s conditions and on the schedule you choose (every hour by default).

Yes. Untick “Automatic assignment” under WooCommerce → Settings → Collections: nothing is changed and the conditions are kept. When you switch it on again, all products are checked.

Products that manage stock (for a variable product: the total of its variations that manage stock). A product that does not manage stock has no quantity, so no Inventory condition matches it; use the Stock status field for those products.

They match products that have no such term, including products without any term of that kind.

Yes. Add the conditions on the category of each language (the values are names in that language). A collection only collects products of its own language, and a product only joins collections of its own language.

Version 3 lives in a new folder (wphub-collections). Upload and activate it: it switches version 2 off, takes over its conditions and licence and says so; then delete the old plugin. If you clicked Update now on version 2, WordPress installed version 3 but left it switched off (“Plugin file does not exist” refers to the old folder): click Activate under Collection for WooCommerce and nothing is lost. Never delete version 2 before version 3 has been activated once.

By default only its scheduled jobs and temporary data, so a reinstall keeps your collections. Tick “Also delete the conditions of all collections and these settings” before deleting to remove everything. Categories, tags and the products in them are never deleted.

No. Collections are regular product categories and tags, so their archive pages, menus, widgets, filters and blocks work as usual.

Your licence key is emailed after purchase and is also shown in My Account → Downloads. In WordPress go to Plugins → WpExperts Hub Licences, paste the key and click Activate licence. New versions then appear on the normal Dashboard → Updates screen. A key can be active on as many live sites as you purchased; staging and local development sites do not count.
