Product Catalog 8 is a simple product catalog. Products, Categories and Subcategories can be created and edited, the catalog is displayed on the front-end using the shortcode [catalog-8]. On the settings page various display options can be set to customize the output on the frontend. This catalog can actually be used as an e-commerce tool because product descriptions can contain html, so if you create a paypal button, paste it into a product description to begin selling.

Features:

  • Products can be added under both categories and subcategories
  • Categories or subcategories can be on different pages using shortcode attributes.
  • Settings page to customize how products are displayed
  • HTML can be added inside product descriptions

What's next for 2.0, which will be released in late 2014, some of these new features will be released in version 1.4-1.9 in updates during Q4 2014:

  • Product Pages
  • Multiple Images per Product
  • Fancybox integration
  • More layouts
  • More customization
  • Product sorting in the backend
  • Much better codebase
