    I apologize upfront for not being WordPress/coding literate.

    I have installed the plugin and linked my etsy with the API Key. ‘Products’ menu now visible in wordpress dashboard. Plugin had imported my etsy listings under products as well as the image files in my media section. All good up until this point.

    How do I insert the gridded Etsy listings on the Shop page?
    I cannot figure this step out to safe my life.

    Below is an example site using your plugin… this is how I would like my listings to display on my Shop page, a block grid under static content.

    I have poured over the forums and content notes for two days trying to figure it out on my own. I hope someone reading this can help.

    Thank you for your time in addressing my dilemma. I appreciate it.

    Working with it more…

    I kinda understand, now, how the shortcode listed on the plugin description work. I see it pulls in either a link, description, or the batch of photos accordingly for whichever product ID used.

    Is there a shortcode/longcode that compiles all the separate elements of an Etsy listing into the boxed thumbnail format like on the example page linked here? https://steampunkstewie.com/leather-bags/ If so, then would I just have to insert that shortcode for each listing ID onto the Shop page, forming the grid manually? I can do that, if necessary.

    I feel like I am missing some big important concept here on my end and I am just trying to sort this out.
    Thanks again for your time.

    Main question is if you’ve checked out the available shortcodes at https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/etsy-importer/ Edit: you have a little bit, though those are sort of limited to individual products.

    Some points to consider is that all of the products are posts in a post type with featured images and post meta. With that, there should be an archive URL available matching the post type, as well as all possibilities with post types being available.

    I can’t say for sure, but that example link with the grid may be doing a custom WP_Query for the products and formatting the output in such a way that it makes the displayed grid.

    Just some thoughts to get the brain stirring a bit.
