Hi renegadesk

You need to customize that free plugin. The plugin displays the default post category. So that you want to change the code to list you product category.

oh ok ok nice. I have completed the progress with adding products Via front end.

Yes renegadesk,

Am ready to explain that. Am waiting for some one asking to me. because now am busy with another work..

ok well renegadesk,

The first thing is the plugin have the short code to display add post and edit post and list post pages. you should follow that to display you pages to add product and edit products.

And also the plugin support the custom post type.

so for example you goto create a page, name like “Add product” and put the short code in that page as
[wpuf_addpost post_type=”product”]

Now you go to add post via front end and go to check in admin. your added content displays under the woocommerce products.

Yes renegadesk

That is correct. If you want to display product categories you need to edit this file wpuf-add-post.php in plugin at the line

wp_dropdown_categories( 'show_option_none=' . __( '-- Select --', 'wpuf' ) . '&hierarchical=1&hide_empty=0&orderby=name&name=category[]&id=cat&show_count=0&title_li=&use_desc_for_title=1&class=cat requiredField&exclude=' . $exclude );

Replace with

wp_dropdown_categories( 'show_option_none=' . __( '-- Select --', 'wpuf' ) . '&hierarchical=1&hide_empty=0&orderby=name&name=category[]&id=cat&show_count=0&taxonomy=product_cat&echo=1&&title_li=&use_desc_for_title=1&class=cat requiredField&exclude=' . $exclude );

Hi martinjesus,

The plugin not store the product category correctly. Because the plugin made by only the post type categories. But woocommerce uses the product_cat as taxonomy. so we need to store our selected category.

So need to add some code in the wpuf-add-post.php file at after

if ( wpuf_get_option( 'allow_cats' ) == 'on' )
 {
            $post_category = $_POST['category'];

Add the code below

$subCategory = get_term_by( 'slug', $cn, 'product_cat' );
			$mainCategory = get_term_by( 'id', $subCategory->parent, 'product_cat',ARRAY_A );
$parid = $mainCategory['parent'];
$tid = $mainCategory['term_taxonomy_id'];
$mid = $mainCategory['term_id'];

Then use this $parid , $tid, $mid to set post term.
