## Description

This plugin adds a “product type” column (with icons) on the products admin screen
in WooCommerce which was removed in version 3.4.0 as a result of feedback in [this post](https://woocommerce.wordpress.com/2018/02/28/what-should-happen-to-the-product-type-column-on-the-admin-products-screen/).

If you’d like the column back, simply install and activate this plugin and you’re
set.

#### Requirements

 * WooCommerce 3.4 or later.
 * WordPress 4.7 or later.
 * PHP 5.2 or later.

of, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add
New.

rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply
clicking “Install Now”.

### 󠀁[Useful plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/useful-plugin-597/)󠁿

Didn’t realise there was a poll about this column and thought it was gone for good.
I came across it when i got fed up not having it and tried to find a solution to
restore it. Based on number of active installs, i’d imagine only a few people know
about this plugin and WooCommmerce should probably notify people who have bought
Composite Products, Bundled Products or Subscriptions as i suspect they will be 
the ones who need it most. I agree it might not be the prettiest solution and hope
it will be improved in the new admin, but for now it works well for businesses that
have more than one product types, especially if they have a lot of products. Please
don’t abandon this code.
