Hey Managenet, thanks for considering WP Catalogue for your project.
It should be totally fine with lots of products. WP Catalogue is built on a simple custom post type, so basically if normal ‘Posts’ could do it, then the WP Catalogue can do it. It works in very much the same way. Does that help answer your question?
Cheers,
Maeve
Hi Maeve,
Thanks for the reply – yes, makes sense. My only concern in using the standard WP database structure would be the ease of import/export for a large catalogue. Having a separate database might be more manageable for us. But I will definitely give WP Catalogue a more serious look, as I generally like the layout. I wish it was more easily searchable and filterable, like a more typical catalogue site (search term produces filtered results in same layout – similar to result if ticking a particular category)
In terms of import/export – do you have provision and standard template example of import via CSV vs. having to create XML file?
Thanks!
