The latest and greatest version of Jigoshop is now available as an update either through your WordPress admin dashboard or as a new download via WordPress.org. It’s the result of an immense amount of work by core developers Jeff, Rob, Matt and Michael, and a wonderful amount of feedback and testing by the Jigoshop Community. We’ve taken the time to redesign and rebuild various elements of Jigoshop which means it’s better for store owners, and easier for developers and designers to use in client work.
You can see the masses of new features and improvements in the full Jigoshop 1.3. Changelog below, but there are some standout areas, such as a redesigned settings page which uses the WordPress Settings API.
Reports are now included in the core Jigoshop product, showing information such as total sales, customers and orders, as well as most sales and most quantity, all within whichever timeframe you wish to select.
And if you haven’t tried Jigoshop yet, now it’s easier with a dummy product XML file included in the core download, so you can see what a working store looks like without having to create a fake product list from scratch. There’s also a new Beta Tester option within the Jigoshop admin to allow you to automatically upgrade to the latest available Beta release (Recommended only for test sites!)
Not only have we worked hard on the main Jigoshop update, but we’ve also gone through all existing official extensions to ensure they continue to work with the new settings in Jigoshop 1.3, and we’ve liased with all developers and designers of third party themes and extensions to include them in the beta test period to avoid any disruption to their products as well.
It not only means you get a better product straight away, but also means developing Jigoshop itself will be quicker and easier in the future.
So if you haven’t already downloaded Jigoshop 1.3 after receiving a prompt in your WordPress Admin, download it now and find out why so many people are already using it and saying great things about it.
