  WooCommerce Bookings

Premium Plugin

Available at https://www.woothemes.com/products/woocommerce-bookings/

the Lowdown:

This plugin is part of the overhaul of my website so that people can book and prepay for my time. It integrates with the woocommerce plugin and allows you to set up times when your are available so people can book and prepay for your time. I found it to be pretty good although the setup was a bit confusing and getting it to set the calendar and allow people to choose their time was a bi a bit trickery. All in all it works pretty good. You can also use it if you have multiple people and resources to be booked you can use it for room booking and more. I can see this being of use in several industries that require people to book time.

The lite version is available in the repository, this plugin was submitted to us by the author so we were able to check out the pro version. What is does is creates a list that appears in a box on the page of all the content that has been added or changed since the last visits from your site users. At only 414.98 seems to be worth the price. with this added experience you may be able to get those regular visitors to move to more content on your site. It has several options including the ability to add a custom link for when your promoting items from your site. One thing I liked about it was that it made an unobtrusive box that is expandable with a click on the bottom of the page. You can though place the box in top or bottom left or right. Check it out

Improve the appearance, ranking, and social engagement of shares on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, LinkedIn, and other social sites. More and more I see people sharing content on social sites, but I only click on the one’s that look properly formatted, as I’m sure most people do. This plugin allows you to look your best when sharing your content with others online.

This is about as basic as a plugin gets. HTML In Widget Titles allow you to use any normal HTML tag(s) in the Title section of any widget. While originally designed for making titles linkable, it should also work for any other HTML tags. The plugin uses some very basic PHP and a WordPress filter to replace all instances of [ or ] with < or > respectively. This is because when you enter a normal &lttag&gt into the title input area, WordPress will remove it. This replacement happens as the page is generated from the PHP code so it avoids this problem.
