WooWeekly #248: Custom Dashboard Page (Plus: Get All Product IDs)

How’s things?

It’s a sunny Sicilian Wednesday here! And there are two good news:

1) it’s… Wednesday, which means our appointment with WooCommerce Weekly is back (WooCommerce tutorials, tips, reviews and workarounds put together by yours truly)

2) last week’s experiment called “What I’m working on this week” worked! Which means I’m more focused, productive and hopefully it can help you learn how I work and how I think

WooCommerce: Add New Subpage @ WordPress Admin Dashboard

If you’re developing custom WooCommerce documentation, reporting or functionalities for your clients, you probably also need to add a new “page” and a new “submenu link” to the WordPress Admin Dashboard.

This is a very interesting topic and in the same way you can hide elements, you can also add new ones. In my case, I had to implement a custom, admin-only form to enable product recommendations. Enjoy: https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-add-new-subpage-wordpress-admin-dashboard/

WooCommerce: Get & Return All Product IDs

When you work with WooCommerce PHP snippets, you often need to “get” stuff off your WooCommerce database in order to make some calculations and return the result on the screen. Enjoy: https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-get-return-all-product-ids/

NEW: What I’m Working on This Week

  • Woo-hoo! I’ve rebuilt and published my homepage in Gutenberg. It took me several hours on a Saturday, but I’m happy with the results: https://businessbloomer.com/ – I’ve also started redesigning the BloomerArmada page and published the latest 2 blog posts with Gutenberg too.
  • Last week’s 75% goal to finish off client work was very optimistic. But setting goals help you focus. This week I have some weird cache/Sucuri issues, a custom product recommendation functionality to launch, a Polylang-WooCommerce install to set up and some CRO work to start.
  • Last week I decided to move my CustomizeWoo videos from Vimeo PRO to JetPack PRO video hosting, which is cheaper (€99/yr) and also gives me security and performance features.
  • Last week I told you I was looking for my first vendor for the Sicilian online marketplace I just launched, https://apieceofsicily.com/en/ – I hope to have some products online by the end of next week.
