Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Put your guides, downloads and product manuals where people can find them.

Bring articles, Media Library files and external links together in a searchable WordPress library, help centre or collection of product resources.

Watch the three-minute overview of DocToucan Free and Pro:

Use the Free plugin to build:

  • A resource library for PDF brochures, forms, reference sheets and downloads.
  • A help centre for setup guides, tutorials, FAQs and troubleshooting articles.
  • Product documentation with manuals, specifications and care guides on your WooCommerce product pages.

Try the guided Free and Pro workflows in our live demo.

Help visitors find the right resource

Replace a long page of download links with a searchable library in a visual grid or compact table view.

  • Search your collection: find matches in titles, descriptions, article content and file details.
  • Narrow the results: filter by category, tag or document type, then sort and move between result pages.
  • Preview before downloading: open supported Media Library PDFs, images, audio and video in a browser preview.
  • Keep the next action clear: read an article, download a file or open an external reference at its source.

Make your guides easier to follow

Write articles in the block editor and arrange them in a nested structure. DocToucan connects them with useful navigation.

  • Show readers where they are with breadcrumbs, an article tree and previous/next links.
  • Help them reach the relevant section with an automatic table of contents linked to article headings.
  • Keep supporting material close by with related files, articles and external references.

Articles include reading time, helpful/not-helpful feedback and print styles. DocToucan Wide controls the reading layout while keeping your theme’s header and footer; Theme Integrated lets your theme control the article page.

Put product manuals on your product pages

With WooCommerce active, select the relevant Documents in the product editor. Customers can read guides and download files from a Resources tab without searching through the rest of your site.

Public resources for individual products are included in Free. WooCommerce is optional: your library and help centre work without it.

Update once, reuse across your site

Every managed item has one central Document record with one primary mode:

  • Article, Media attachment or External URL.

Reuse the same record in libraries, documentation and product resources instead of maintaining separate copies. Free has no plugin-imposed document-count limit and includes one documentation hub.

Free is intended for public resources. Normal WordPress Media Library file URLs remain public; listing a file in DocToucan does not make it private.

DocToucan Pro

DocToucan Pro is the paid edition for sites that need more control over document access, presentation and day-to-day maintenance. It extends the same Document records, so existing libraries and content remain in place when you upgrade.

  • Folder views, saved libraries, multi-select filters and bulk ZIP downloads.
  • Indexed file-content search with highlighted matches for supported formats.
  • Themes, skins, presentation packs, saved design presets and advanced CSS controls.
  • Protected file delivery with role, user and password rules, plus expiring links.
  • File versions and rollback, review dates, expiry and audit records.
  • Bulk file intake, CSV/WXR transfer and preview-first migration tools.
  • WooCommerce category and variation resources, purchaser access and account delivery.

Manage larger collections, keep documents current and control how they are presented and shared without duplicating content.

The shared demo includes working Free and Pro examples, with clear edition labels. The WordPress Admin sections are screenshot walkthroughs, not public dashboard access.
