We’re excited to announce our Wordpress plugin for CafePress shops!

Similar to our CafePress search plugin, this plugin lists products from a specific store section.

Features:

• Use a simple shortcode around a store section to pull in the section products
• Automatically breaks up store into categorized sections
• Fully customizeable with CSS
• CSS saved in database so future upgrades don’t overwrite your CSS
• Affiliate links created on the fly based on your settings - or just straight links to the product
• Thickbox zoom of product images

Our first official plugin released on WordPress reached 65 downloads today, one week after its release.

After a shaky start using the WordPress filing system and two mini-updates later, the Wishads for CafePress Search Plugin is at release 1.1.1 and looks pretty good if we say so ourselves.

This plugin allows you to easily include products from CafePress and sell them as an affiliate. If you are a shopkeeper and have a unique image tag on your designs, you can use this to promote your products.

If you’ve had a chance to download and use the plugin, we’d love to see it in action. Drop us an email with the location of your blog!

We’d also like to see some ratings of the plugin at WordPress if you’ve downloaded it. We can take it.

But most importantly, what do you want to see next? Send us an email or post in our support forum. We’ll also be dropping some hints and tips there for how to customize your plugin with CSS. If you’ve hit any bugs or error messages, let us know about them so we can tackle them head-on. There are many different combinations of hosting, php versions, wordpress versions and wordpress themes, and we want to make the plugin work for as many as possible.

We’ve released a slight update/upgrade to the Zazzle Store plugin. This release 1.1 fixes a “blank” cell bug and a “random” setting bug. We also threw in a little something we had planned to do in a future release - text height buffers. This also allows you to override the height settings of the results so that you can show the entire title and/or description instead of it being truncated. Your call.

You can get the new release on the Zazzle page

If you do not upload the entire plugin over the existing one, you may have caching issues for up to 24 hours. If you have access to your files, remove any files inside the “cache” subdirectory of the plugin to fix this issue.

If you are using Wishads on a hosted Zblog, you should not have to do anything. They have already done the update.

Zblogs is a wordpress multi-user site that allows users to create wordpress blogs to promote their zazzle products. We are glad to announce that both of our Zazzle plugins are available at Zblogs.

This is great news for anyone that doesn’t have their own hosting, as Wordpress.com does not allow commercial blogs or plugins. It is also a good option for those that would just like to have another web presence for their products or to be able to affiliate other’s products as a Zazzle Associate.

Zblogs has numerous themes and plugins already installed and just waiting for you to test-drive.

Zblogs will be keeping our plugins up-to-date as well as beta testing new plugins, so check them out!

You may have noticed we’ve moved to a WordPress infrastructure. That’s not by accident.

We’ve had enough requests to work our wishads into WP plugins that we decided the best way to do it was to live it. We aren’t gonna lie, we have a little learning to do with WordPress, but what we’ve seen in our initial tests is promising. This WordPress thing… we think it’s going to catch on!

So stay tuned. We’ll be asking for some beta testers soon enough…
