FAQ
-
Does it need WooCommerce?
-
No. Without WooCommerce you can use a CSV file with the columns
name, sku, price, category, description, image(or Spanish:nombre, referencia, precio, categoria, descripcion, imagen). -
Are accents, ñ and the € sign supported?
-
Yes. The PDF embeds DejaVu fonts with full UTF-8 coverage, and Excel CSV files in Windows-1252 are converted automatically.
-
Is there a product limit?
-
No. The free version includes every product. Very large catalogs (more than 1,000 products by default, filter
ordifolio_volume_size) are split into several PDF parts and the shortcode shows one button per part. -
Where is the PDF stored?
-
In
wp-content/uploads/ordifolio/. The file is public so visitors can download it via the shortcode. -
How do I get support?
-
Use the WordPress.org support forum or write to ifritalexis@gmail.com. Pro customers get priority email support.
-
Does the plugin collect any data?
-
Only if you opt in. On activation Ordifolio (via the Freemius SDK) asks whether you want to share non-sensitive diagnostic data and receive updates; you can skip it and the plugin works the same. Licensing and payments for Pro are handled by Freemius.
-
Will it work on cheap hosting?
-
Yes. Generation runs in small steps: products are read 100 at a time and the PDF is rendered in parts of up to 1,000 products, so each request stays short and light. Thumbnails are used instead of full-size images and remote resources are disabled.
-
Which images can be used from a CSV?
-
Only images that already exist in your Media Library (paste their URL). Remote images are never downloaded.
