 * Hi, sorry for the dumb question – new to this!
    I’ve added some categories and
   some products but where do I find the short code so that I can get them onto 
   a page?
 * Thanks

 * Install tab of plugin:
 * Extract the zip file and upload the contents to the wp-content/plugins/ directory
   of your WordPress installation and then activate the plugin from plugins page.
 * The plugin registers a new custom post type, so you’ll want to update your permalinks.
   No need to change your permalink structure, just go to “Settings->Permalinks”
   and click “Save Changes” without making any modifications.
 * Possible Shortcode [product]
 * Shortcode options :
 * cat
 * Used to display only produces in a certain category. If not set ALL products 
   from any category will be shown.
 * Usage : cat=”category-slug”
 * id
 * You can insert a single Product
 * Usage : id=”1234″ – where 1234 is the post ID.
 * Note: the cat & the id attributes are mutually exclusive. Don’t use both in the
   same shortcode.
    hidetitle
 * Used in conjunction with the “cat” shortcode to hide the category title incase
   you would like to use something else instead of the category name.
 * Usage : hidetitle=”yes”
 * featured
 * Will set the background of the container to a default light grey.
 * Usage : featured=”yes”
 * view
 * The default view is a grid view, if you would prefer to use “list” view set this
   attribute to equal list
 * Usage : view=”list”
 * buttontext
 * The default button text is “Read More” if you would like to change the text use
   this attribute
 * Usage : buttontext=”your text here”
 * des
 * Used to disable the product excerpt in the default grid view.
 * Usage : des=”no”
 * maxdes
 * Used to set the number of words used in the excerpt in the default grid view.(
   default – 20) must be a number.
 * Usage : maxdes=”50″
