## Wopisanje

Want to know who published a WooCommerce product or who last edited it? This plugin
displays the publisher, last editor, and edit date directly in the Products overview
table.

Product Publisher Info for WooCommerce adds a **Publisher** column to the WooCommerce
products overview page.

The column shows:

 * **PB:** the original product author (publisher)
 * **LT:** the last user who edited the product followed by the edit date

This helps store owners and teams track product publishing and editing activity 
directly from the Products list.

The column is **hidden by default** and can be enabled through the **Screen Options**
tab.

Features:

 * Displays **Publisher information** in a compact stacked format
 * Shows **PB (publisher)** and **LT (last editor + date)**
 * Designed to **fit within the default WooCommerce table layout**
 * Column is hidden by default and can be enabled per user
 * Fully **admin-only**, no impact on frontend performance
 * Database-safe: does not create new tables or modify data
 * Lightweight: minimal memory usage and performance impact

Example column display:

PB: John
 LT: Mike 2026-03-16

**Note:** The „LT“ value relies on the WordPress `_edit_last` meta field. It may
not update if edits are made via CSV imports, REST API requests, or certain bulk
editing tools.

## Instalacija

 1. Upload the `product-publisher-info` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **WooCommerce > Products**.
 4. Click **Screen Options** (top-right corner).
 5. Enable the **Publisher** column.

## FAQ

### I activated the plugin but I don’t see the column. Is it working?

Yes. The column is hidden by default to avoid automatically changing your admin 
layout.

To enable it:

 1. Go to **WooCommerce > Products**.
 2. Click the **Screen Options** tab in the top-right corner.
 3. Check **Publisher**.

The column will immediately appear in the Products list.

### Will this slow down my site?

No. The plugin only runs inside the WordPress admin Products list. It does not load
on the frontend, so your store performance is unaffected.

### Does this add anything to the database?

No. The plugin only reads existing WordPress fields: `post_author`, `post_modified`,
and `_edit_last`. It does not create new tables or modify your database.

### What if my store has hundreds or thousands of products?

WooCommerce loads products in pages (usually 20–50 per page). The plugin only reads
basic fields for the products displayed on the current page, so the performance 
impact is minimal even for large stores.

### Why does „LT“ sometimes show the author instead?

If WordPress does not have a recorded last editor (for example after certain imports
or API updates), the plugin safely falls back to showing the original author.

### Is this compatible with the latest version of WooCommerce?

Yes. The plugin uses standard WordPress hooks and does not modify WooCommerce core
files.

### Can each admin user choose whether to see the column?

Yes. Screen Options are saved per user. Each administrator or staff member can choose
whether to show or hide the column independently.

### What is the date format of last touch date?

The date format is year-month-day.

This plugin is a simple but powerful tool for WooCommerce store owners. It adds 
a Publisher column to the product list, making it easy to see who published or last
edited a product, which is especially helpful for teams or stores with many products.
It’s lightweight, doesn’t slow down your site, and keeps your backend organized 
without adding unnecessary database clutter. A small addition that makes managing
products much smoother.
