## Description
Shortlist adds an “Add to wishlist” button to your WooCommerce shop loop and product
pages. Shoppers save products, favourites and save-for-later items, then come back
from a “Wishlist” tab in My Account, a page of their own, or anywhere you drop the`[
shortlist]` shortcode.
Guests can save products before they log in. A guest list lives in a cookie; the
next time that visitor signs in, their saved items move onto their account, so nothing
is lost at the login step. Logged-in customers’ lists are stored in a custom database
table keyed to their user id.
The plugin is written for stores that care about front-end weight and accessibility:
* The front-end script is vanilla JavaScript with no jQuery dependency. It is deferred
and loaded in the footer.
* The toggle button reserves its space, so switching between the add and remove
states does not reflow the page (no CLS).
* The toggle is a real `` with `aria-pressed`. When a product appears more
than once on a page, every button for it updates together after a save, and the
change is announced to screen readers through a polite live region.
* Saving and removing happen over admin-ajax with no page reload.
On variable products the button follows the selected variation, so a customer saves
the exact size or colour they chose rather than the parent product. Until they pick
options the button stays disabled, with a hint you can word yourself.
The source lives on GitHub at [github.com/wppoland/plogins-shortlist](https://github.com/wppoland/plogins-shortlist),
that’s the place for bug reports and patches.

* **Documentation**: [plogins.com/plogins-shortlist/docs/](https://plogins.com/plogins-shortlist/docs/)
* **Plugin page**: [plogins.com/plogins-shortlist/](https://plogins.com/plogins-shortlist/)
* **Source code**: [github.com/wppoland/plogins-shortlist](https://github.com/wppoland/plogins-shortlist)
* **Bug reports and feature requests**: [github.com/wppoland/plogins-shortlist/issues](https://github.com/wppoland/plogins-shortlist/issues)
#### Where the button and list can appear
* The single product page, below the add-to-cart area.
* Product cards in the shop, category and tag loops.
* A “Wishlist” tab in WooCommerce My Account, optionally showing a saved-item count
like “Wishlist (3)”.
* A dedicated page you pick or create from the settings screen.
* Any post or page, via the `[shortlist]` shortcode.
* The block editor, via the **Shortlist Wishlist** block (server-rendered, so the
editor preview matches the front end).
* The Elementor editor, via the **Wishlist** widget (same list as the shortcode;
loads only when Elementor is active).
Each placement is a separate switch on the settings screen.
#### Settings
The Shortlist menu in wp-admin opens to shop managers (it uses the `manage_woocommerce`
capability), not only administrators. From there you can:
* Turn the wishlist on or off, and decide whether guests may use it.
* Choose where the button shows up: single product, shop loop, My Account, and
a dedicated page.
* Show or hide the saved-item count on the My Account menu.
* Set the add and remove button labels, and the variation hint.
* Shape the list itself: heading, intro and empty-list text, how many columns the
grid uses, and which details (image, name, price, add-to-cart, remove button)
each saved product shows.
Every setting has a “?” next to it that opens a short explanation of what it does.
Shortlist only loads its stylesheet and script on the pages where the wishlist actually
appears, so the rest of your store stays untouched.
### External Services
Shortlist does not connect to any external service. Saving and removing items happens
over your own site’s admin-ajax endpoint, and all wishlist data stays in your WordPress
database: logged-in customers’ lists live in a custom `shortlist_items` table keyed
to their user id, guest lists live in a cookie on the visitor’s own browser until
they log in, and settings are stored in the `shortlist_settings` option. The plugin
sends no email and loads no third-party fonts, scripts or trackers.
### Translations
Plogins Shortlist is fully translatable and ships the `plogins-shortlist.pot` template.
Translations are delivered by WordPress.org language packs from translate.wordpress.
org, which is where Polish, German and Spanish are being contributed; the package
itself carries no compiled translation files.

## FAQ
### Does it require WooCommerce?
Yes. Shortlist requires an active WooCommerce installation.
### Can guests use the wishlist?
Yes, if you allow it in settings. A guest’s list lives in a cookie and is merged
into their account the next time they log in.
### Does it use jQuery?
No. The plugin’s own front-end script is vanilla JavaScript with no jQuery dependency.
### How do I show the wishlist on a page?
Use the `[shortlist]` shortcode, or rely on the “Wishlist” tab added to the WooCommerce
My Account area.
### Does it work with variable products?
Yes. On variable products the wishlist button follows the selected variation, so
the saved item can include the chosen size or colour.
### Can I create a dedicated wishlist page?
Yes. Choose an existing page or create one from the Shortlist settings screen. The
plugin can inject the `[shortlist]` list automatically.
### Is the wishlist accessible?
Yes. The wishlist button is a real button with `aria-pressed`, screen-reader announcements
and no layout shift when the saved state changes.
### Does this plugin work on WordPress Multisite?
Yes. This plugin is compatible with WordPress Multisite. Network activate it or
activate it on individual sites; each site keeps its own settings and data.

## Changelog
#### 1.0.8
* Fixed the PRO promo on the settings screen quoting a price in PLN. PRO is priced
and charged in EUR, so an admin on a Polish site was shown a zloty amount and
then billed in euro, and the zloty figure was a fixed conversion that drifted
from the real charge as the rate moved. The promo now shows the euro price that
is actually taken.
* New: Elementor widget for the wishlist list, same output as the shortcode and
block. Loads only when Elementor is active.
#### 1.0.6
* Fixed: Save Changes on the Shortlist settings screen now saves every option again,
including the whole “Wishlist list” card (heading, intro, empty-list message,
columns and the show image, name, price, add-to-cart and remove toggles). Previously
that button posted nothing.
* Fixed: “Create wishlist page” now only creates the page, instead of hijacking
the settings save.
#### 1.0.4
* Translations: completed Polish, German and Spanish for the PRO upgrade panel.
#### 1.0.3
* Accessibility improvements to the admin and storefront markup.
* Fixed low-contrast admin headings under an OS dark-mode preference.
#### 1.0.2

#### 1.0.1
* First stable release.
#### 0.3.1
* Renamed to Plogins Shortlist for WooCommerce for a more distinctive plugin name.
#### 0.3.0

* Improved: settings screen groups wishlist page, variation hint and existing placement
controls.
#### 0.2.0
* Polish: refreshed, themeable storefront styles (heart icon, dark-mode, CLS-safe
grid) and a modern, card-based settings screen with an accessible “?” help popover
on every option.
* Accessibility: wishlist changes are now announced to screen readers, and the
My Account count updates live without a page reload.

messaging, and defensive guards against missing product data.

* New: full control over the wishlist list, heading, intro and empty-list text,
column count, and which product details (image, name, price, add-to-cart, remove

* New: uninstall cleanup removes the wishlist table and plugin options on delete.
* i18n: added Domain Path and a `languages` directory for translations.
#### 0.1.0
