First installation
From download to your first save.
Install & activate
In WordPress, open Plugins → Add New, search for WishlistGenius by Plugins.shop, then select Install Now → Activate. You can also download the ZIP from WordPress.org and use Upload Plugin.
Complete guided setup
Choose your wishlist page and Save button placements, then review the optional sharing and email choices.
Individual activation opens guided setup in focus mode. Choose Exit focus to show the WordPress navigation; that choice survives refreshing setup. If setup does not open, go to WishlistGenius → Setup & settings → Open guided setup.

Setup, shopper workflows, updates and troubleshooting for Free and Pro. The online guide covers Free and Pro 0.5.9. The 0.5.8 base PDF and genuine screenshots remain dated; read the 0.5.9 update notes alongside it.
WishlistGenius Free 0.5.9 is available on WordPress.org. It supports WordPress 6.7+ and keeps PHP 8.2+ as the minimum PHP requirement.
Version 0.5.9 was tested on WordPress 6.7 with PHP 8.2 and WooCommerce 10.3.8. Use a WooCommerce release that supports your WordPress version; newer WooCommerce releases can require newer WordPress.
Updating Free and Pro
Free adds an individual saved product to the cart using WooCommerce purchase rules. The separate Pro add-on supplies saved quantities and complete selected-item and whole-list cart operations. Normal WooCommerce cart quantity controls remain available.
Confirm your Pro package supports the Free version before updating. Replace Free first, then Pro, without uninstalling. Older Pro 0.3.x and 0.4.x do not run with Free 0.5.x. Saved lists, notes, quantities and settings remain stored. Unfinished batch operations from 0.3.x or 0.4.x are not replayed; review your cart before starting a new action after the update. Previously activated local Pro features continue after subscription expiry.
Earlier beta companion users should contact support for a compatible upgrade. Test your theme, product options and other extensions on staging before updating a customer store.
Larger wishlists and cart recovery
Wishlist saving has no fixed product-count ceiling. Completed cart actions do not consume a daily or lifetime action allowance. Search, CSV exports and printing read the complete list in pages. If a list changes during export preparation, start a new export; an incomplete file is not offered as complete.
Pro prepares selected-item and whole-list cart operations in pages before adding anything, processes bounded chunks and keeps individual results. After a recoverable interruption, use Check progress and continue for that same operation. If the result is uncertain, inspect the WooCommerce cart before starting another operation.
Hosting memory, execution time and storage still apply. Short request-rate limits, simultaneous-work limits and a shared 64 MiB cart-record budget protect the store independently of payment. Cart receipts remain available for one day; new work does not evict unexpired duplicate-protection records. Pro snapshots have a 64 KiB bound per selection.
