Each country has it’s own requirements if any. * Also I’m not sure about the licence requirements using the government website api to collect fuel data, which currently you as a user need to get a login and password from them. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Autostock] New Cars Only](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-cars-only-1/) * Plugin Author [Kevin Phillips](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dollar_dad/) * (@dollar_dad) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-cars-only-1/#post-6249272) * Yes, all features are taxonomies, simply remove them. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Autostock] Nice work.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-work-186/) * Plugin Author [Kevin Phillips](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dollar_dad/) * (@dollar_dad) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-work-186/#post-6178211) * Many thanks for your comment and feedback. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Autostock] Parse Error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-338/) * Plugin Author [Kevin Phillips](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dollar_dad/) * (@dollar_dad) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-338/#post-7977066) * I don’t know how many times I need to say this – you must have php 5.4+ * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Autostock] Detail Stats On Cars Not Showing On Page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/detail-stats-on-cars-not-showing-on-page/) * Plugin Author [Kevin Phillips](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dollar_dad/) * (@dollar_dad) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/detail-stats-on-cars-not-showing-on-page/#post-6155270) * It’s not a bug but a design feature, I always create custom pages for this plugin. Every site is built from scratch with underscores. * I will be releasing a theme shortly that is designed to go with this plugin, which will have normal templates for pages and posts, custom templates for grid view of all cars and single template for individual cars. I’m trying to integrate it with AngularJS hence the need for separate views (partial pages). * The next plugin update will include a comprehensive search feature widget. ie by year, price range etc. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Autostock] Detail Stats On Cars Not Showing On Page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/detail-stats-on-cars-not-showing-on-page/) * Plugin Author [Kevin Phillips](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dollar_dad/) * (@dollar_dad) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/detail-stats-on-cars-not-showing-on-page/#post-6155266) * The way I would do it is create a custom page for displaying all cars. In your theme folder copy page.php and name it page-car.php and start to custom that page. * See the codex [https://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates](https://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates). * Once you have a custom page you can do what ever you like with the content. * For individual car view I would copy single.php and name it single-car.php * Hope that helps * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Autostock] View cars](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/view-cars/) * Plugin Author [Kevin Phillips](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dollar_dad/) * (@dollar_dad) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/view-cars/#post-5847761) * You have several options to displaying content. * To display all the custom posts I would recommend using the loop or get_posts see the codex for a full details * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts](https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts) * If you are having trouble coding then you will need to employ a WordPress developer to assist you. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Autostock] Detail Stats On Cars Not Showing On Page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/detail-stats-on-cars-not-showing-on-page/) * Plugin Author [Kevin Phillips](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dollar_dad/) * (@dollar_dad) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/detail-stats-on-cars-not-showing-on-page/#post-6155253) * Without a link to your site it is difficult to answer your question.

This would allow more flexibility. * I appreciate you comment about doing it the same way as woocommerce but it becomes a bit of a mess( I have built a lot of sites with woocommerce ) with various warnings after updates. I’m a great believer in a module approach, each plugin does one thing and does it well. * I have started to built a theme using the bootstrap framework, perhaps you would like to be a tester for me? * Regards * Kevin Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dollar_dad/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dollar_dad/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
