1. Brand New WooCommerce Content
WooCommerce: Search Orders By SKU @ Admin
By default, when you search for orders in the WordPress > WooCommerce > Orders backend, using a SKU will give you 0 results. Which is pretty poor for a store manager.

2. David’s WooCommerce Highlights
Here are a few notes written by David of PeachPay, WooWeekly co-author:
From Tumblr to WP to WP+Woo
If you want a good example of a fashion store built with Woo, be sure to check out this post about Style Girlfriend. This store started out with Woo because it had migrated from Tumblr to WordPress, perhaps like quite a few Woo stores that started out as simple WP sites. According to the merchant, running the store on Woo is completely painless, so much so that she barely thinks about it. Wish I heard that story more often from other Woo merchants!
WordCamp Europe 2022 Debrief
Look out for Rodolfo’s debrief on WCEU. It was a blast for your two co-authors, who got to meet in person for the first time. Plenty of movers and shakers in the world of Woo were in attendance, and there was much talk about Woo alternatives as well as Woo SaaS offerings. I guess the consensus is that Woo is getting too unwieldy and vast, so it’s time to buckle down, centralize, and focus on enabling merchants to succeed with WP so as to prevent churn to Shopify. My two cents are that there are a few fundamental problems that need to be solved beyond providing guard rails, namely around speed and stability for high-volume stores that experience high traffic. Custom order tables to the rescue (coming to core soon!)?
Floating Product Categories
Have you ever craved a floating product category sidebar button accessible from anywhere on your Woo store? Well, with a newly released free plugin, you can get just that. Choose the category/subcategory of items to display, enable the product count display, and customize the color all with this plugin, making your products easier to find than ever before.
