Widgets Avalanche for Ecwid

OD

The plugin won’t work. Why?

Make sure you have an ecwid store with an account that allows API access. This may mean you need a paid ecwid account.

Does this plugin make my site really slow?

Only for one page load. It calls Ecwid, gets your store data, and saves it to your WordPress database for future use. Unless you have WordPress in debug mode and you are logged in to the site. Then it does not cache.

Wait, so there is a slow page load? For every user?

No, just for one user. Once one user loads the page, your WordPress site will have cached the data from Ecwid, and this establishes the cache from which all other users will benefit for the lifetime of that cache.

A cache? What if I make changes to my products in Ecwid.com?

You’ll need to dump your cached data in order to see those changes. There are three ways to do that:
1. Wait a few hours. The cache resets each day.
2. Click the button to dump your cache in the plugin settings page.
3. Save or re-save any widget from this plugin.

The accordion widget shows some products multiple times. This is dumb.

It loops through all your categories, and shows all the products in each category. If a product is in multiple categories, it will appear multiple times.

Some of these widgets don’t do exactly what I want them to do. Can you change something?

Probably! Contact me at scofennell@gmail.com to inquire about custom work.
