These are the shortcodes provided by Wishlist for WooCommerce. Add any of them to a page, post, or widget using the standard WordPress shortcode syntax. Each shortcode can be switched on or off under WPFactory > Wishlist > Shortcodes (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Wishlist > Shortcodes).

Available shortcodes #

[alg_wc_wl_remove_all_btn] Shows a button that removes every item from the wishlist in one click. Free

Parameters #

[alg_wc_wl_counter] #

  • ignore_excluded_items: set to true to leave excluded items out of the count. Default false.
  • template: HTML template used to render the counter. Default <span class="alg-wc-wl-counter">{content}</span>.
  • amount: force a specific number instead of counting the live wishlist.

[alg_wc_wl_icon] #

  • counter: show the item count next to the icon. Default true.
  • link: make the icon link to the wishlist page. Default true.
  • use_thumb_btn_style: reuse the thumb button icon and styling. Default true.
  • ignore_excluded_items: leave excluded items out of the count. Default false.

Example:

[alg_wc_wl_icon counter="true" link="true" ignore_excluded_items="true"]

[alg_wc_wl_remove_all_btn] #

  • tag: HTML tag used for the button. Default button.
  • remove_label: button text. Default Remove all.
  • auto_hide: hide the button after it is clicked. Default false.
  • show_loading: show a loading icon after clicking. Default false.

[alg_wc_wl_toggle_item_btn] #

  • product_id: the product the button targets. If empty, the current product in the loop is used.
  • btn_type: default_btn or thumb_btn. Default default_btn.

Example:

[alg_wc_wl_toggle_item_btn product_id="123" btn_type="thumb_btn"]

Deprecated shortcodes #

Two older shortcodes still work but are deprecated. Use [alg_wc_wl_toggle_item_btn] instead:

  • [alg_wc_wl_toggle_item]
  • [alg_wc_wl_add_to_cart] (deprecated since version 1.8.5)

Note: if a shortcode prints its own name back on the page as plain text (for example [alg_wc_wl_counter]), that shortcode has been switched off under the Shortcodes tab. Enable it there and save.
