What’s new in Envato Live Preview Switch Bar for WordPress 2.0
Version 2.0 · Sep 24, 2019
Latest
- NewNew Feature - you can now manually add Products (Themes / Plugins / Graphics) outside Envato Marketplace
What it does
Authors who sell several themes or plugins often end up with demos scattered across different pages, which makes browsing slow for visitors. Envato Live Preview Switch Bar for WordPress gathers those demos into a single bar at the top of the preview, so someone can switch from one product to the next with a click and stay on your site the whole time.
The plugin imports product information from Envato, including names, thumbnails, preview images, descriptions, reviews, prices, sales numbers and other attributes, then displays them inside the switch bar. Items that live outside Envato can be added manually, so themes, plugins and graphics sold elsewhere sit alongside the rest. Everything is managed from one dashboard, and the bar is built with a lightweight HTML, CSS and JS code base.
Best for
- Theme and plugin authors selling on Envato
- Developers presenting several live demos to clients
- Sellers of graphics and digital products with preview sites
