Documentation vs Documents for WooCommerce

Documentation provides sound structures and tools to maintain a Documentation Management System based on WordPress. Leveraging WordPress’ framework and internal structures, the system provides a completely new section to manage documents independently from normal posts or pages. Documents are complemented by their dedicated document categories and document tags, which allows to keep the documentation structures separate from the more blog-oriented posts or CMS-like pages. It can be used to build a dedicated documentation site, a subsite for documentation in a multisite network or other creative deployments. See our documentation portal for an example where we use the system to maintain a considerable amount of documentation for our tools. Simple to use, yet powerful to maintain even thousands of documentation pages. Documents can be attached to products in WooCommerce using WooCommerce Documentation. Widgets The plugin provides several widgets that are used to display document links: Document Hierarchy : facilitates navigating and viewing the document hierarchy Document Children : displays links to children of documents Documents : to display sets of document links Document Categories : to display links to document categories Shortcodes The following shortcodes are available: [documentation_documents] Lists documents, also useful to list documents in a category. [documentation_categories] Renders a list of links to the document categories. [documentation_hierarchy] Provides a means to navigate the documentation structure, equivalent to the Document Hierarchy widget. [documentation_list_children] Lists the children of a document like the Document Children widget. [documentation_search_form] Renders a dynamic search form. Use Search Live for a more flexible search form. Recommended Useful Additions You should have a look at these tools. They will help you get the most out of this Documentation Management System.
