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 Club Connection, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu, and click “Add New.”
In the search field type “Wine Club Connection,” then click “Search Plugins.” Once you’ve found us, you can view details about it such as the point release, rating, and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by! Click “Install Now,” and WordPress will take it from there.
Manual installation
Manual installation method requires downloading the Wine Club Connection plugin and uploading it to your web server via your favorite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains instructions on how to do this here.
e.g.
- Download “Wine Club Connection” plugin
- Upload ‘wine-club-connection’ to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
Changelog
2.0.1
- Improved: the Batch Order Processing (Pro!) admin tab now shows the full, current Pro feature list (batch billing, Stripe/Square, Square 2-way sync, Mailchimp sync, the Wine Picker, per-tier shipping, members-only products) in a styled panel, instead of the old two-line summary
- Fixed: the per-product “members only” restriction checked whether the checkbox was on but never whether the visitor was actually a member — a logged-in club member could have their own add-to-cart button removed exactly like a stranger. Now checks real membership status, and no longer risks a fatal error on non-product WooCommerce pages
2.0
- Fixed: the order-completion welcome email/notification hook was reading a POST value that’s never actually set on that hook, so a first-time member’s “old membership” data was always blank — now reads the correctly-resolved tier instead
- Fixed: saving a member’s tier from the WordPress Edit User screen no longer accepts an id that doesn’t match a real membership level — previously an invalid value could be written silently
- Removed a broken admin-ajax action registration left over from an earlier build that pointed at a method which no longer exists in this free version
- Refreshed WordPress compatibility testing (Tested up to 7.0); this closes a long gap since the last real update
