Usage
How it works
This plugin automatically tracks the products a visitor views on your WooCommerce store using a browser cookie. It does not rely on PHP sessions or database storage, making it compatible with cached sites and CDN services like Cloudflare.
When a visitor views a product, it is stored in their browser. When they return, their recently viewed products are still available.
Display recently viewed products
You can display recently viewed products using either a shortcode or a widget.
Shortcode:
Add the shortcode [gtrvp_recently_viewed] to any page or post where you want recently viewed products to appear.
The shortcode will display up to 4 recently viewed products.
Widget:
Go to Appearance > Widgets and add the “Good Team Recently Viewed” widget to any widget area such as your sidebar or footer.
The widget displays up to 2 recently viewed products.
Plugin settings
After activation, you can access the plugin settings from the WordPress admin menu:
