Excellent product slider for WooCommerce
-
I briefly tried the free, lite version of the WooCommerce Product Slider, and then ordered the WooCommerce Product Slider Pro version (after deactivating and deleting the lite version).
WooCommerce Product Slider Pro is an excellent, well-designed, flexible and very useful product slider. It has so much flexibility and so many options and settings that one must experiment with it a little to learn how to use it, but it works very well.
I have noticed several issues that are likely to frustrate new users, even though those issues have nothing to do with the WooCommerce Product Slider itself–
- The slider won’t appear if the JQuery javascript has not been loaded on the webpage. The WooCommerce Product Slider disables loading JQuery by default (in its settings area located in the WordPress Admin), because most websites already load JQuery for various other reasons and uses. But on my website JQuery was not loaded. So I changed the WPS (WPSP for Pro version) setting to cause WPSP to load JQuery, and the slider I had created appeared and worked perfectly on my webpages.
- The WPSP shortcode is easy to use on pages one creates, and the WPSP widget works well when inserted into a sidebar or one of the other widget areas. However, using the WPSP PHP code can be a little challenging, not because of WPSP itself, but because one might not know how to edit the theme’s WordPress template files, or how to override and edit the WooCommerce template files. For the WooCommerce template files, instructions are included in the brief documentation at the top of each template file itself, at one’s website, at wp-content -> plugins -> woocommerce -> templates
- Don’t use the same slider (with the same WPSP ID number) more than once on a single page, or the second slider is likely to have issues. For example, don’t create just one slider in WPSP and then use that same slider (with the same ID) as both a widget in the sidebar, and by including the slider’s shortcode when editing the page in the WordPress admin area. Instead, even if you want the sliders to appear identical (display the same WooCommerce products in the same way), create TWO sliders so that each of them has a different numerical ID, and then have both sliders appear on the same webpage, rather than two copies of the same slider (both with the same ID). Use each unique slider (unique ID) in only one location in the webpage, and that will avoid display issues.
WooCommerce Product Slider (Pro) is an EXCELLENT Plugin for WordPress with WooCommerce. Highly recommended.
