0.5.2

Bug fix release!
0.5.1 removed the plugin when searching in the WordPress admin as Woocommerce has implemented searching for simple products by SKU.
I didn’t realise they had not added searching for variable products by SKU. This release re-enables that feature, other new features:

  • Fix long standing bug of the product filtering not playing nicely with the plugin. (Searching within categories etc)
  • Handle multiple comma separated skus in search (Admin only)
  • Admin search re-implemented to be much closer to Woocommerce search and make more appropriate use of WordPress filters. (This will make it easier to hopefully integrate back into woocommerce core)
  • General code tidy up.

0.5.1

  • Disabling SKU search in admin to let Woocommerce handle it.

0.5

  • Improved support for sites running wpml

0.4

  • Remove hidden products from search results
  • “Total Found” search count works in more themes.

0.3

  • Releasing to wordpress.org
