WordPress - WooCommerce generator

Tutorial

1

Creating a new dynamic slide

To get started, go to any Slider Settings page and add a new dynamic slide. Choose WooCommerce.

2

Configuring the generator

Set up your generator. Choose the settings you want. Popular options you probably want to configure: category where your content will be pulled from, the number of slides you want to have, the ordering of the content.

You can also click on the View Records button to see the data you'll be creating your slide with.

When you're done, click on Add.

3

Editing the dynamic slide

After you saved your generator, you'll be redirected to the Slide Editor to set up the look of your slide. You can create your content by using variables.

Create text variables

You can create variables based on what value are you receiving on the other variables.

Example: variable||equalvalue||true||false : if variable equals to equalvalue , then you will get the text true , but if it's not equal, the text will be false . The new variable's name will be textvariable (the variable replaced by your variable's name).

☝️ Note: We are using the same ordering WooCommerce does. If you are using price ordering with "variable" (also called "variation") products, meaning one product has multiple prices, you might see the ordering as wrong, but that ordering works the same way as it does at WooCommerce.
