Black Friday / Cyber Monday Mode for WooCommerce 2.0


Some features of the Plugin

Differences between v1.x and v2.0

The new plugin is a complete new plugin, made with VueJS & connected with the REST API from WooCommerce. Faster than ever before.

# Version v1.x Version v2.0
1 Slow loading when listing a huge number of products. Instant Loading (frontend made with VueJS) - no matter the products number.
2 Getting the products from the database. Getting the products through WooCommerce REST API.
3 Loading all the products from all the categories at once (slow speed). Loading the products by category and while clicking on different categories.
4 Direct Server loading (Slow Speed). Async Loading (Speed Improvements)
5 Inherits theme style (Causing layout damages/issues). New VueJS layout (not using theme style/scripts).

Variant 1: Plugin Installation via Admin Dashboard

The first option on how to install this Plugin would be to directly upload the modeltheme-black-friday.zip file via WordPress Plugin Uploader.

  1. Log into your WordPress dashboard
  2. Navigate to Plugins > Add New
  3. Click Upload Plugin
  4. Now you just need to find the "modeltheme-black-friday.zip" file in the Upload folder and hit Install now.


Variant 2: Plugin Installation via FTP

The second option on how to install our Plugin would be the upload via FTP manager. It really doesn't matter which of the two ways you choose, just choose the one you feel more comfortable with.

  1. Login to your FTP account and navigate to your WordPress Installation directory
  2. Navigate to the folder /wp-content/plugins/
  3. Upload the "modeltheme-black-friday" unzipped folder (not the .zip-file). This is the folder located inside the "Upload" folder in the zip-file you've downloaded from CodeCanyon.
  4. Now log into your WordPress backend
  5. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
  6. Find the Plugin and click Activate
