== Getting Started ==

Upon activation of the plugin you will see a notice, click the link and follow the guide to setting up your store which covers creating pages, theme integration and more.

== Installation ==

= Minimum Requirements =

* PHP 7.2 or greater is recommended
* MySQL 5.6 or greater is recommended

= Automatic installation =

Automatic installation is the easiest option -- WordPress will handles the file transfer, and you won’t need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install of QuotePress, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu, and click “Add New.”
 
In the search field type “QuotePress,” then click “Search Plugins”. Click “Install Now,” and WordPress will take it from there.

= Manual installation =

Manual installation method requires you to download the QuotePress plugin and upload it to the WordPress plugin directory on your web server via your favorite FTP application. Once done activate the plugin through the Plugins area.

= Updating =

Automatic updates should work smoothly, but we still recommend you back up your site.

If you encounter issues with the shop/category pages after an update, flush the permalinks by going to WordPress > Settings > Permalinks and hitting “Save”.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does it work with WooCommerce? =

No - QuotePress is a standalone plugin, it works similar to WooCommerce, but shouldn't be used alongside it, they do similar things, WooCommerce is designed to allow users to place orders immediately, QuotePress allows users to request a quote for a particular product, receive the quote and make payment after review.

= If a user is already registered (e.g. a blog subscriber) what user role will they have? =

Any users already with an account will keep their existing role - if they order via the website or update their profile in their account they will be assigned the customer role in addition to their existing role.

Any new users signing up via the registration page will be assigned as customers from the start.

= Can users checkout without an account? =

No, user registration is required and ensures that customers have access to all their previous quotes, can accept quotes without entering their customer details for every quote. It is also used for reporting on the amount of customers you have within the dashboard and extensions make use of customer accounts.

= Can I customize the page and email templates? =

Yes, to do so copy the templates to your theme folder and edit there. For further details view Settings > Setup.

= Are there any shortcodes? =

You can use the following shortcodes to render QuotePress content within your website, when automatically creating QuotePress pages during setup pages will be created which contain some of these shortcodes:

- [qpr_account]
- [qpr_cart]
- [qpr_checkout]
- [qpr_login_form]
- [qpr_lost_password_form]
- [qpr_mini_cart]
- [qpr_password_reset_form]
- [qpr_quote_received]
- [qpr_register_form]

= Is there a base products page I can link to as my shop section? =

Yes by default this is /store, any previous pages created with the slug /store will be overridden with this setting. You can change this slug in the settings if needed.

= How can I change the no image placeholder? =

Use the qpr_no_image_src_thumbnail and qpr_no_image_src_full to filter the image src of these images.

= Can I use page caching? =

We do not recommend using page caching with QuotePress, we may actively support page caching in future, but not right now. Feel free to try and let us know of any issues you encounter.

= Product pages/categories don't work? =

Try going to Settings > Permalinks and saving the page, this will regenerate WordPress's rewrite rules, some other plugins may override QuotePress rewrites, this should ensure they are working.

= Is it compatible with my theme? =

QuotePress is designed to be compatible with most WordPress themes, some themes may require you to add your theme's wrapper markup around some elements if you notice sidebars or other elements displaying in incorrect positions. For further details see Settings > Setup.

= Does QuotePress set any cookies? =

Yes, to ensure the cart functionality works QuotePress sets a qpr_session cookie. This remembers the user and their cart contents for a limited time. The expiry time of this cookie can be amended in settings.
