How to add rotating shop items to front page?

Support
#1

I would like to add my shop to the front page of my website in a section that showcases multiple products, specials or featured products - is this possible & if so, how?

Thank you!

Hey @ohiocannabis,

This is possible the Essential Grid plugin bundled in X. Here’s a sample of the plugin’s rotating or carousel type display. If the features you need aren’t available in that plugin, you can try searching for plugins that uses a shortcode to display WooCommerce products in a slider or carousel. You can place the shortcode in a Text element.

Thanks.

Yes this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

Couple of quick questions:

How do I manage how many posts it will show in one grid? I thought it was in Settings>Source/options/Maximum Posts Preview

It is set at 20 for default, I adjusted it to 10, but regardless of what I set that value to, 15 seems to be populating? OhioCannabis.com has a 3 row grid of blog posts towards the bottom.

Skins - are the only skins available for this the ones that are pre-loaded or are there other free ones out there?

I currently have the skin set to Essential Preview, I like the overall effects and info provided, but how do I change things like the “Check it out” button words & color?

And any idea why the Check it Out button isn’t functioning and going to the article?

You can set the maximum number of posts to show in Source tab.

Then for number of posts for each grid, you can adjust the Max Visible Rows option: https://www.themepunch.com/essgrid-doc/columns-rows-pagination/#rows

Here’s a trick about limiting number of post to display that you might be interested in: https://www.themepunch.com/faq/limiting-the-shown-postpage-number/

  1. Skins - are the only skins available for this the ones that are pre-loaded or are there other free ones out there?

Unfortunately, only the bundled skins. There are no free skins on the net. You can check the pre-loaded ones here for your reference:

Just an add-on info, you can also setup alternate skins: https://www.themepunch.com/essgrid-doc/alternate-item-skins/

You can edit the buttons and text using the skin editor: https://www.themepunch.com/essgrid-doc/item-skin-editor/

You mean that the Check It Out button wasn’t clickable and displaying on your article? Please clarify.

Thank you. Hope that helps.
