== Installation ==

= Minimum Requirements =

* WordPress 3.3 or greater
* PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
* MySQL version 5.0 or greater
* Some payment gateways require fsockopen support (for IPN access)

= Automatic installation =

Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don’t even need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install of WooCommerce, log in to your WordPress admin panel, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New. 

In the search field type “WooCommerce” and click Search Plugins. Once you’ve found our eCommerce plugin you can view details about it such as the the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking Install Now. After clicking that link you will be asked if you’re sure you want to install the plugin. Click yes and WordPress will automatically complete the installation. 

= Manual installation =

The manual installation method involves downloading our eCommerce plugin and uploading it to your webserver via your favourite FTP application.

1. Download the plugin file to your computer and unzip it
2. Using an FTP program, or your hosting control panel, upload the unzipped plugin folder to your WordPress installation’s wp-content/plugins/ directory.
3. Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu within the WordPress admin.

= Upgrading =

Automatic updates should work a charm; as always though, ensure you backup your site just in case. 

If on the off chance you do encounter issues with the shop/category pages after an update you simply need to flush the permalinks by going to WordPress > Settings > Permalinks and hitting 'save'. That should return things to normal.

== Upgrade Notice ==

= 1.5.4 =
Please update your shipping methods after upgrading - the save hooks have been modified to ensure settings are saved more reliably. 

Also note, there was a mistake in the code for Quebec -> PQ to QC. If you have rates for Quebec ensure you re-save them.

= 1.5.2.1 =
Minor update. Note, titles are now hooked in to single-product.php - if you have overridden this template and have double titles, update your single-product.php template with that from core.

= 1.4.4 =
Minor update fixing a few bugs. If you encounter any problems with the store/category pages after upgrade simply go to Settings > Permalinks and hit 'save'.

= 1.4 = 
Major update with plenty of optimisations and new features. Changes to note:

* Requires WP 3.3
* Product data meta has been renamed in this version so that custom-fields can be enabled. Product data is now prepended with an underscore so they are hidden from the custom-field panel. Existing data will be upgraded automatically. 
* The shipping method classes have been updated to make rate definition easier. Third party plugins will need updating.
* Textdomain has changed - re-scan your po/mo's
* Tax additions (tax rows, compounds etc) required a change to the way order items are stored. Old orders won't show items when viewed. Order totals should be unaffected.
* Significant modifications to woocommerce.less/.css to deliver a more polished look when using the default styles. If your theme builds on top of this you will likely need to update some classes. Consider using https://gist.github.com/1601558 to disable WooCommerce default css.

Please backup your database before upgrading and also ensure you are running the latest versions of any WooCommerce plugins after upgrading - this includes shipping and payment gateways.
