v2.0.0 — Smart Recommendations

Smart Recommendations Engine

WooBooster 2.0 introduces 4 intelligent recommendation strategies — all without creating any new database tables.

New Action Sources

Source	Description	Storage
Bought Together	Products frequently purchased together, based on order history analysis	Product postmeta
Trending	Bestselling products per category, based on recent sales velocity	WordPress transients
Recently Viewed	Products the visitor recently browsed	Browser cookie
Similar Products	Same category + similar price range, ordered by total sales	WordPress transients

Admin Controls

• Smart Recommendations settings card on the Settings page
• Enable/disable each strategy independently
• Configure days to analyze (default: 90) and max relations per product (default: 20)
• Rebuild Now button for instant manual index builds
• Clear All Data button to purge all computed data
• Last build status display with timing info

How It Works

Smart strategies are available as new Action Sources in your rules. Combine them with traditional taxonomy-based actions — e.g., show 3 "Bought Together" + 3 from a category.

• Bought Together: Nightly WP-Cron scans completed orders, computes co-purchase scores, stores top N related IDs in _woobooster_copurchased postmeta
• Trending: Every 6 hours, aggregates sales data per category into ranked transients
• Recently Viewed: Cookie-based, zero DB overhead
• Similar: Real-time WP_Query with ±25% price range + same category + order by sales, cached for 24h

Zero New Tables

All data uses native WordPress storage: wp_postmeta, wp_options (transients), browser cookies. Clean uninstall removes everything.
