Here you can find answers to frequently asked questions. Feel free to contact us if you can't find answer to your question.

1. Does this plugin work with caching plugins?
   Yes, W3TC is working but we advise no caching for logged in users. For example if page cache is enabled widget will not work - recently viewed deals. Once user is logged in and there is no caching anymore all widgets will work. You can use CDN and browser caching. Our plugin demo website uses W3TC with page and object caching, browser caching and generic CDN mirroring.
2. Can I make theme with WooCommerce Simple Bulk Discounts and sell it on ThemeForest?
   Sure, just purchase extended licence and you're good to go. Since the current licenses do not deal with re-selling Items, Envato lets authors to decide whether they grant permission for bundling Items or not. We have the following conditions, and you need to follow them:

   • You cannot redistribute the item "as-is", even if you modify it or you make a derivative version for another platform
   • You cannot offer the plugin as a stand-alone item
   • You cannot include the plugin separately from your theme in the download package
   • You cannot provide an Item Purchase Code for your customers - Since Envato doesn't have a "multi-use" or transferable license, your customers are not entitled to receive an Item Purchase Code with your theme and use the plugin separately from your work.
   • Updating the plugin is your own responsibility
   • Since your customers cannot receive updates from us, you need to handle this on your own
   • You need to handle related support requests after your customers or you can instruct them to buy regular licence and ask us for support directly via our CodeCanyon profile (we cannot provide free support for your customers)
3. How can I translate plugin to my language? Do you have translations?

   We only maintain english translation. We do not have resources to quality maintain other translations. If you have trasnlation, you can submit one to us and we will post it here for download if someone wants it, but those will be unofficial.

   Here are steps which can help you to traslate plugin yourself:

   • pot file that you will edit is located in plugin_dir\languages\
   • you need to download and install Poedit https://poedit.net/download
   • download pot file and open it with Poedit
   • do your translations with Poedit
   • when done save wc-sbd-en_GB.po, saving wwc-sbd-en_GB.po will create wc-sbd-en_GB.mo
   • you need to upload both files to /wp-content/languages/plugins/ and not to plugin directory because translations will be lost if you update plugin by deleting old one

   Note:

   In filename wc-sbd-en_GB.po suffix en_GB must match your language settings in WordPress, otherwise language will not be loaded. So for example you can have wc-sbd-en_AU.mo, wc-sbd-af.mo or wc-sbd-en_CA.mo, complete list of available suffixes are here https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/

4. How can I update plugin with new version? Is auto updating possible? - We suggest you to install Envato Marketplace (installation instructions can be found on plugin's url) plugin for auto update plugin and themes purchased on Envato. Setup is easy. Manual updating can be done by downloading new version of plugin and overwrite old files with new ones or deleting old plugin and installing new one.
   
   
   Note:

   If you have modified plugin files (templates) then you need to be careful when updating so you don't overwrite changes you made and that templates are inside child theme or theme woocommerce/ template folder.

5. Does WooCommerce Simple Bulk Discounts work with WordPress import / export tools?
   Yes, you can export and import deals with standard WordPress import / export tools that are located in Admin -> Tools menu.
6. I have installed your plugin but images are not aligned, buttons are too small / big, input fields needs to be smaller / bigger, can you help?

   In short no.

   It's your duty to modify plugin template to match your style and theme. Themes can implement different ways how they customize pages and parts of Woocommerce. We cannot guarantee that our plugin will look same as in our demo for every possible theme out there. Web developing is more than getting a theme and couple plugins, enabling them and deliver web site. Our templates are coded by standards and they adhere to WordPress and WooCommerce template structure. That means that minimal intervention is needed from client side, but sometimes there is no way to avoid template changes. Some themes use similar structure and have minimal interventions in structure and our plugin looks good out of the box and some do not. It's your task as web developer and client who purchased plugin to modify and customize plugin templates to match your own (or client's) needs and styles. This is part of developing a web site. You cannot expect that everything will be perfect for every possible theme and plugin comibation out there or that we will do your job for you as part of support. We support plugin - we do not style and customize client's sites. Thanks for understanding.

   Note:

   Right way to customize plugin's templates is to copy contest of plugin_dir/woocommerce-simple-bulk-discounts/templates/ directory to your_theme/woocommerce/ directory and do modifications there.

   When you ask us for support make sure it's not related to tasks we don't do as part of support:

   - style or customize your theme to do this or that

   - provide support for bugs caused by 3rd party plugins or themes (we can pinpoint the problem)

   - send you CSS or HTML code for modifying html elements

7. 3rd party plugin is causing problems? Its developers tell you that we need to fix our plugin?

   Woocommerce extensions should be transparent - meaning one extension should work with another without introduction of special code that makes them compatible. Imagine what would happen and how much time we would need to spend if we would have to add a bit of compatibility code for every Woocommerce extension that's out there - we would end up in huge plugin with tons of problems which would be problem to test and debug. That's why we think every plugin developer should stick to Woocommerce coding standards and APIs (they're there for that reason) and not require 3rd party developers to code something into their extensions / plugins so that it could work with theirs.

8. How can I unhook (remove) actions and hook custom function for this plugin?

   In this code snippet you can see an example of how to remove action and hook your custom function in woocommerce_single_product_summary instead of plugin's.
