@Celestialpetals- Thanks a lot for reaching out. Please find the answers to all your queries below:
1. I don’t know what page to use to allow registration?
>> WC Marketplace uses the default registration cum my account page provided by WooCommerce to cover the vendor registration. This page is automatically created when you activate WooCommerce and the shortcode for the page are [woocommerce_my_account]. In case you don’t see an option to register on this page, follow the steps:
a. Wp-admin>> Settings>> General >> Membership: must have the checkbox “Anyone can register” checked.
b. Wp-admin>> WooCommerce>> Settings>> Accounts>> Registration Options: “Enable registration on the “My Account” page” must be checked.
c. Wp-admin>> WCMp >>General Settings>> General; “New Vendor Registration”must be checked.
Let me know if that helps.
2. In the demo I did not see how to add products, do you have any documentation or youtube videos?
>> Sorry, seems like one of the users, removed the vendor capability to create a product. I have added it but in case someone tweaks it again I would suggest checking the other demo setup:
https://demo.wc-marketplace.com/flatsome/
Admin access- demo/demo
Vendor Access- Chris/Chris
Please do note that in this setup, we have the Frontend Product Manager add-on installed, which is actually a paid addon allowing vendors to create a product from the frontend. We are in the process to update the setup guide document but the previous one should more or less be adequate for setting up the plugin: https://wc-marketplace.com/knowledgebase/wcmp-setup-guide/.
3. Are there any issues with vendors roles being able to access admin dashboards and permissions?
>> No issues as such, vendors do access the backend but their capabilities are restricted only to sections that are relevant to them.
4. MOST IMPORTANT FOR ME: Is there a way to limit the number of products published by vendor stores – 25, 100 or other choices? Another limit: media file sizes?
>> Current version of WC Marketplace doesn’t support this feature but I see this is possible using a code snippet available here- https://www.remicorson.com/limit-number-of-products-to-add-to-the-shop/. I would check this as you might not want this restriction for admin. So we need a filter to apply the code only to vendor role.
Regarding the media file size- you can try the solution available here- https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-set-a-maximum-upload-size-for-images-in-wordpress/ or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25444513/limit-users-to-upload-800×800-and-less-than-1-5mb-wordpress-media.
In case you face any issues, do not hesitate to reach out.
