Screenshots

  • This is a vehicle post archive showing post title, full size featured image, price, vehicle attribute table, carfax button, and link to vehicle post single.
  • This is an inventory grid showing featured image thumbnails and post titles. A full inventory link takes users to the vehicle post archive.
  • This is a list of vehicles in the administrator dashboard that the user sees when she clicks the Vehicles or All Vehicles menu items. Each vehicle is listed by year, make, model, trim, stock number, color, odometer, price, and photo count. If the vehicle has photos, a thumbnail is also shown. This screen shot was taken on version 3.1.0.
  • This is the edit screen that adds or edits a single vehicle. The post content box is demoted to handle only the sentence-form vehicle description, and the entire edit screen is enhanced to support vehicle attributes. This screen shot was taken on version 3.1.0.
  • This screenshot shows a vehicle post in the WordPress block editor. An editor sidebar for the Inventory Presser plugin is expanded and contains vehicle attribute fields. An arrow points to a button with a key on it that reveals the editor sidebar.
  • This screenshot shows a vehicle archive on the Twenty Twenty theme before any customization.

FAQ

How much does this plugin cost?

This plugin is free and open source. Free and paid add-ons & services are available at https://inventorypresser.com/.

Does it decode VINs?

Not for free. A VIN decoder add-on is available at https://inventorypresser.com/products/plugins/vin-decoder/.

Can I import my inventory into this system?

Yes. We use the WordPress REST API to deliver inventory updates. Read how we do it. Vehicles in Inventory Presser are stored in a custom post type using meta fields, taxonomy terms, and photo attachments, and many CSV/spreadsheet importer plugins like WP All Import work with custom post types. If imports sound challenging, Friday Systems (that’s us) feeds hundreds of sites running this plugin. It may be easier to let Friday Systems handle the last leg for a monthly fee.

Will Inventory Presser work with my theme?

Yes. Check out our Theme Compatibility Guide. If your theme does not include templates to display listing pages and vehicle detail pages, the plugin will provide the markup for those pages automatically. There are shortcodes like [invp_archive] and [invp_single_vehicle] as a last resort. A number of Template Tags make designing custom templates easy.

  • [Added] Adds a “No vehicles found.” message to the [invp_archive] shortcode when there are no vehicle posts that satisfy the query.
  • [Added] Adds a default false value for the use_carfax setting so it shows up in REST at /wp-json/invp/v1/settings consistently.
  • [Added] Wraps the vehicle YMM string in a link in email sent using our Contact Form 7 form-tag [invp_vehicle].

14.0.0

  • [Added] Integrates Contact Form 7. Adds a form tag [invp_vehicle] to help users put vehicle drop downs or hidden elements in forms.
  • [Added] Adds a shortcode [invp_attribute_table] to make the feature more accessible to templates. Re-orders some attributes in the table to better suit a two-column layout.
  • [Added] Adds a filter invp_single_sections to let users edit or add to the Description and Features sections of [invp_single_vehicle]
  • [Fixed] No longer changes thumbnail photo sizes in the dashboard’s list of vehicles at wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=inventory_vehicle
  • [Changed] Improves the way [invp_single_vehicle] organizes content sections with CSS and HTML changes.
  • [Removed] Removes AutoCheck integration in [invp_single_vehicle] and [invp_archive_vehicle]. The AutoCheck add-on now adds the button to the invp_single_buttons and invp_archive_buttons hooks.
  • [Removed] Removes the [iframe] shortcode. This was replaced with [invp_iframe].
  • [Removed] Removes all deprecated methods and constants including the entire vehicle class. All items have had replacements for many months.

13.8.2

  • [Fixed] Bug fix. invp_get_the_location_sentence() assumed the site had at least one location term before this fix.
  • [Fixed] Allows invp_get_the_photos() to find attachments to the post even if they do not have our sequencing meta value. Relies on the post_date for sequence instead.
  • [Fixed] No longer attempts to change a query order by in get_terms() if there are no taxonomy names provided to the filter callback.
  • [Changed] Changes the slider widget to show only 2 vehicles at a time on smaller devices.
  • [Changed] Changes tested up to version number to 6.0.0.

13.8.1

13.8.0

  • [Added] Adds template tags invp_get_the_last_modified() and invp_get_raw_last_modified()
  • [Added] Registers all scripts and styles on the enqueue_block_editor_assets hook so blocks can use them
  • [Fixed] Adds & implements iFrameResizer.js in the [invp_iframe] shortcode instead of relying on the themes like _dealer to provide the library and resize iframes
  • [Fixed] Bug fix when looking for an SVG file path in the Carfax Widget
  • [Fixed] Bug fix in the invp_get_the_transmission_speeds() template tag. The single $post_id argument is now optional, matching all other template tags.

13.7.1

  • [Added] Adds Carfax settings to the inv_blocks JavaScript object so that upcoming blocks can make use of the values.
  • [Fixed] Bug fix in the template tag invp_get_the_fuel_economy_value(), specify fuel 1 or 2 when retrieving the value.
  • [Fixed] Adds CSS classes to the NextGear inspection report button so it matches the View Details button in archives.
  • [Fixed] Fixes the Sort Vehicles By setting when “Date entered” or “Last modified” is chosen. These keys did not previously work.
  • [Fixed] Fixes the registration of the new REST route at /wp-json/invp/v1/settings to specify a missing permission_callback.
  • [Fixed] Bug fix in block category creation. Instead of all blocks ending up in “Widgets”, they now correctly group under “Inventory Presser”. This was intended for 13.7.0 but didn’t get shipped somehow.
  • [Fixed] Avoid throwing warnings in the Map, Inventory Grid, and Inventory Slider widgets when widget settings and attributes are not provided or are unavailable.
  • [Fixed] Allows our template provider class to help vehicle details pages work on more themes out of the box. No longer limits our hook on the_content to only run once for themes that fetch post content and apply the filter multiple times.
  • [Fixed] Fixes the plugin update nag HTML for add-ons to better match the core plugin update nags. Removes a condition clause that was preventing the nag from showing on network admin plugin pages.
  • [Changed] Changes tested up to version number to 5.9.2.

  • [Fixed] Prevents non-numeric characters from being entered in the Odometer field in the editor sidebar
  • [Fixed] Prevent the Delete all Vehicles feature from deleting vehicles more than once if the user reloads the page after using the feature
  • [Fixed] Starts populating the inventory_presser_date_entered meta value when vehicles are saved

13.6.0

  • [Added] Adds a template tag invp_is_featured()
  • [Fixed] Allows taxonomy filters to work when using the [invp_archive] shortcode at /inventory
  • [Fixed] Adds support for querystring filters min_price, max_price, and max_odometer to the [invp_archive] shortcode
  • [Fixed] Adds support for the Sort By setting and querystring parameters orderby and order to the [invp_archive] shortcode
  • [Changed] Changes the “was now discount” price display to fallback to showing the price when the MSRP is empty or the difference is not a positive discount. Previously, the setting would fallback to “Call for Price” even if a price value was available.
