We built the inventory data with Advanced Products plugin, so you should make sure this plugin is installed on your site.
This page is not included in the page list because it is created by a custom link.
Creating a product branch is compulsory, so you should not miss this step. Please go to WP-admin > Advanced Products > Branch
On the left, you will see a form to create a new branch, let's enter the branch name and other info.
Group field assignment: you should assign the branch to one or more custom group fields that are (are) created in the Custom Group Field section.
Advanced Products uses field groups to attach fields to each product.
Please go to WP-admin > Advanced Products > Custom Field Group
You will see a form on the left to create a new Field Group. Enter the name of the field group and other info.
Associated Branch: Select one or more branches that connect with the field groups.
To create new custom fields, you should go to WP-admin > Advanced Products > Custom Fields > Add New
Input a field label, and choose a field type.
Required? Choose Yes if this field is compulsory, otherwise, choose No.
Icon: choose an icon for the field. Leave it blank if you uploaded an icon image.
Icon image: upload an icon image for the field chosen to be displayed in the listing view.
You can choose between 25 different input types to add to custom fields, including text boxes, number fields, dropdown lists, checkboxes, radio buttons, image swatches, color swatches, date fields, and file upload.
Text – A normal text input field to collect single-line text
Text area – To collect multi-line text
Email – An input field to accept only email addresses
Password - A single-line text field whose value is obscured. Will alert a user if site is not secure.
URL – A text field to accept only links (URLs)
Number – A number field to accept both decimal or whole numbers
Select (drop-down) – A dropdown field to select one option from a list of options
Checkboxes – To choose one or more options
Radio buttons – To select one option from multiple options
True/false – A single “yes or no” checkbox, which you usually know from “accept the terms of conditions” fields
Paragraph – If you want to add static blocks of text in between input fields, this does the trick!
Besides protected custom fields (Video, Gallery, Category, Branch, and Price), all new custom fields created should be assigned to specific field groups.
By configuring the field display options, you can decide whether the custom field is shown in the listing view and search view or not.
In the custom categories section, you can create custom types of taxonomies that are useful when one wants to create distinct naming systems and make them accessible behind the scenes.
Here I created a custom category for Make and Model. Make is supposed to be associated with branch, while model should be associated with make.
After creating new custom categories, you should go to the Custom Field section, and create corresponding custom fields with taxonomy field type.
To add a new model, please go to Wp-admin > Advanced products > Models > Add new.
When adding a new model, you're supposed to assign the model to a corresponding make.
Go to Advanced Products > Add New to create new products.
Enter the product's name
Upload a featured image
Properties: You should choose the product's branch, make, and model.
Add images to the product gallery.
Overview: Input the content for the product overview.
Featured Options: Input the content for the product's featured options.
Video: Input the video content for the product.
Pricing: Choose a product type, input a price value, MSRP Price, and price notice.
In case custom fields do not show up properly, you should go to the Custom Fields section, and click to save each custom field again. As a last resort, please contact us to get support.
