Create separate lists for different people, protect each list with an optional PIN, and let shoppers plan and complete a trip from a phone, tablet, or desktop. Features include: * Multiple separate shopping-list profiles. * Optional PIN access without a WordPress login. * Persistent products that remain available for future trips. * Saved price and quantity for estimating the next shop. * Editable store-location buttons such as Fruit & Veg, Grocery, Bakery, Chilled, and Frozen. * Custom ordering of store locations to match the route through a shop. * Shopping mode with an “In basket” action. * Per-shop basket, remaining, and estimated totals. * Product and price editing while shopping. * Catalogue-first product picker while shopping, with duplicate protection. * Shop-specific normal and sale prices with persistent sale information. * Shopping history, 12-month insights, and CSV export. * Print only the items currently selected. * Administrator-only profile and store-location management. * Products are not deleted when an item is placed in the basket. * No external services, tracking, advertising, or remote APIs. Use the shortcode: ``` [vinceweb_shopping_list] ``` For existing installations, the previous `[my_shopping_list]` and `[mothers_shopping_list]` shortcodes remain supported as compatibility aliases. ### Privacy The plugin stores shopping-list profile names, hashed PINs, product names, quantities, prices, store locations, selection state, and shopping state in the local WordPress database. When a profile is opened, the plugin sets HTTP-only cookies that remember the profile for up to 180 days. The cookies contain a profile identifier and a site-specific authentication token. PINs are stored as WordPress password hashes and are not stored in plain text. To reduce repeated PIN guessing, failed PIN attempts are temporarily rate-limited using a short-lived transient keyed from a one-way hash of the connecting IP address. No shopping-list information is transmitted to external services by this plugin. ## Screenshots [[ [[ [[ [[ ## Installation 1. Upload the `vinceweb-shopping-lists` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP through **Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin**. 2. Activate **Vinceweb Shopping Lists**. 3. Add `[vinceweb_shopping_list]` to a WordPress page. 4. Go to **Shopping List > Shopping Locations**. 5. Create or rename the people who need their own shopping lists and optionally assign PINs. 6. Configure the store-location buttons in the order you normally walk through the shop. 7. Share the shopping-list page with the people who need it. When upgrading from an earlier release, existing shopping products are assigned to the default **Mum** profile. ## FAQ ### Does someone need a WordPress account to use a list? No. A visitor can choose a shopping-list profile and enter its PIN. The plugin remembers the selected profile on that device using secure HTTP-only cookies. ### Is a PIN required? No. Administrators can leave a profile PIN blank. A PIN is recommended when the shopping-list page is reachable by people who should not be able to edit the list. ### Can each person have a separate list? Yes. Products, prices, quantities, selections, and shopping state are separated by profile. ### Can the store sections be changed? Yes. Administrators can edit and reorder the shared store-location buttons under** Shopping List > Shopping Locations**. ### What happens when I tap “In basket”? The item disappears from the active shopping screen but the product, price, quantity, and location remain stored for future trips. ### Does uninstalling delete my shopping data? No. Shopping data and settings are intentionally preserved to reduce the risk of accidental data loss. The plugin role and administrator capability are removed on uninstall. ### Does the plugin send data anywhere? No. The plugin does not use external APIs, analytics, advertising, or third-party services. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Vinceweb Shopping Lists” is open source software.

Changelog #### 2.0.2 * Renamed the public plugin to Vinceweb Shopping Lists and prepared the vinceweb- shopping-lists slug. * Added the [vinceweb_shopping_list] shortcode while retaining previous shortcodes as compatibility aliases. * Prefixed custom post type identifiers and added migration for existing installations. * Moved print CSS into an enqueued static stylesheet. * Clarified shortcode and installation documentation for WordPress.org review. #### 2.0.1 * Added the required translator comment for the per-shop totals string. * Documented the intentional php://output stream close for WordPress Coding Standards. * Retained the existing meta-query implementation; Plugin Check reports it as a performance warning rather than an error. #### 2.0.0 * Rebranded the public plugin name to My Shopping List. * Added the [my_shopping_list] shortcode while retaining the original shortcode for compatibility. * Added shop-specific normal and sale pricing with persistent sale information. * Replaced combined trip totals with individual shop totals. * Added catalogue-first product entry and duplicate protection. * Added brand, size/unit, notes, and favourite/regular product fields. * Added immutable completed-shop history for price and spend tracking. * Added a 12-month Insights dashboard with shop spend, sale savings, and product price ranges. * Added CSV shopping-history export. * Preserved existing profiles, products, shops, locations, prices, cookies, and internal identifiers during upgrade. #### 1.8.3 * Restored the Shopping List submenus under one top-level Shopping List menu. * Lists & People, Shops, Shopping Locations and Shopping Items are all grouped under Shopping List. * Shopping Items no longer appears as a separate top-level menu. #### 1.8.2 * Moved the Shopping Items custom post type under the main Shopping List admin menu. * Shopping Items no longer appears as a separate top-level WordPress admin menu. #### 1.8.1 * Consolidated all Shopping List administration into the single top-level Shopping List page. * Removed the Lists & People, Shops and Shopping Locations submenu entries. * Shop and location saves now return to the main Shopping List admin page. #### 1.8.0 * Added configurable shops above locations and aisles. * Products can be assigned to a shop with tap-friendly buttons. * Shopping and print lists are grouped by shop, then location/aisle. * Added Shopping List > Shops in wp-admin. * Existing products appear under Any shop until assigned. #### 1.7.4 * Fixed a fatal AJAX error in the Not in stock action caused by a call to a non- existent profile-validation method. * Not in stock now uses the same validated item lookup as the other shopping actions. #### 1.7.3 * Fixed Not in stock so it correctly removes the item from the active shopping trip. * The saved product, price, quantity, aisle and location remain available for future trips. #### 1.7.2 * Added a Not in stock button in shopping mode. * Not in stock removes the item from the current trip while preserving its saved product details for future trips. #### 1.7.1 * Resolved WordPress Plugin Check internationalization, input sanitization, nonce- analysis, translation loading, uninstall naming, and readme warnings. #### 1.7.0 * Added translator comments for all translatable strings containing placeholders, resolving WordPress Plugin Check i18n errors. #### 1.6.9 * Added WordPress.org contributor username `vincewebdesign`. * Prepared release metadata for WordPress.org submission testing. * No functional changes from 1.6.8. #### 1.6.8 * Made named locations and aisle numbers fully independent. * Products can now use only an aisle number, only a named location, both, or neither. * Named locations are grouped first, standalone aisles follow numerically, and unassigned items appear last. #### 1.6.7 * Restored optional aisle numbers alongside named shopping locations. * Products can have both a named location and an aisle number. * Items are sorted by aisle number within each named location. * Aisle numbers appear in planning, shopping mode, and print output. #### 1.6.6 * Fixed profile switching on sites using page caching or host-level caching. * Shopping-list pages now send no-cache headers and define `DONOTCACHEPAGE` while rendering. * Profile login and Switch List now use cache-busting redirects so the newly selected person’s name/list is rendered immediately. #### 1.6.5 * Added a dedicated Shopping List menu in wp-admin. * Moved Shopping Locations under Shopping List > Shopping Locations. * Added Lists & People under the same Shopping List menu. * Updated admin redirects and documentation to use the new menu location. #### 1.6.4 * Fixed a critical runtime fatal error caused by registering a private migration method as a WordPress `init` callback. * Audited all registered WordPress callbacks to ensure they are public. * Keeps the minimal safe activation flow from 1.6.3. #### 1.6.3 * Removed legacy-plugin deactivation from the activation hook. * Removed all data migration work from the activation request. * Activation now only creates the plugin role/capability. * Added a safe legacy-build detector that shows an admin notice instead of booting two incompatible development builds together. * Uses unique transition-release PHP identifiers. #### 1.6.2 * Fixed activation conflicts when older development copies of the plugin are still active. * Uses unique internal PHP identifiers for the transition release. * Automatically deactivates the known legacy `shipping-list` and `mothers-shopping- list-v2` copies during activation. * Preserves all existing shopping-list data and settings. #### 1.6.1 * Fixed profile switching so lists without a PIN open immediately. * Prevented PIN entry from being treated as a browser password/passkey field, avoiding unwanted fingerprint prompts. * Improved Switch List so it clears shopping/profile query state consistently. *

who are not logged in to WordPress. * Fixed printing for PIN-authenticated visitors. * Added HTTP-only SameSite profile cookies. * Added PIN attempt throttling. * Preserved stable internal profile IDs
