  • Searching The Code

    I’m sure that at least once you had to search something in the code, even if you are not a developer. Maybe a support technician told you that you can customize your site using WordPress actions, or you simply need to know the name of a function.

    Have you ever considered how handy it would be if customers could download a PDF catalog of your store’s products? This feature is great for various situations.
