We’ve created an updated version of the Crystal Helper plugin which is compatible with WordPress 5+ and Gutenberg block editor! We also included a few visual and functional improvements!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Crystal Helper plugin?<\/strong>

CrystalHelper is a WordPress plugin which allows you to easily insert product decklists, grids, and single links on your blog posts and pages. When a fan is reading your content and clicks a product in the post, they are taken directly to its single product page on your CrystalCommerce online store, thus reducing friction in the purchase process. With CrystalHelper, you can create valuable, relevant content for your fans and make it easier for them to purchase products they are interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is the new version of CrystalHelper different from the old (legacy) version?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legacy<\/strong>: This plugin only works with WordPress versions prior to 5.0 (which uses the Classic Editor for posts). 

New<\/strong>: This plugin only works with WordPress versions 5.0+ (which uses the Gutenberg Block Editor). Please note that this plugin will not work with WordPress versions prior to 5.0 (it’s not backwards-compatible).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New features:<\/strong>

Gutenberg blocks for Crystal Helper Products (List, Grid, Single*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improved appearance of \u201cBuy this List\u201d button and Improved plain text list features (\u201cView Plain Text\u201d \/ \u201cView Formatted\u201d toggle button, \u201cCopy List\u201d button)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Single product block will insert the product name on its own line. If you need the text to be inline within a paragraph, you\u2019ll need to use a \u201cClassic\u201d block for the paragraph text and insert the product link with the legacy plugin icon in the WYSIWYG bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
