How Do I Get WooCommerce to Display My Homepage?

Last updated on January 21, 2023 @ 2:39 pm

You’ve installed WooCommerce and now it’s time to set up your first products. But before you can start selling, you need to configure WooCommerce to display your products on the homepage.

There are two ways to do this: using the WooCommerce settings, or by editing your theme.

In the WooCommerce settings, go to the “Products” tab and select “Display products on the homepage.” This will add a product grid to your homepage.

PRO TIP: If you are using a WooCommerce plugin to display your homepage, be aware that this may cause problems with your site. Some plugins may not work correctly with WooCommerce, and others may cause conflicts with other plugins or themes you are using. Always check with the plugin developer or support forum before using any plugins with WooCommerce.

If you want more control over how products are displayed on your homepage, you can edit your theme. To do this, add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'add_product_grid_to_homepage' );

function add_product_grid_to_homepage() {
  if ( is_front_page() ) {
   woocommerce_product_loop_start();

   while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
     wc_get_template_part( 'content', 'product' );
   endwhile;

   woocommerce_product_loop_end();
  }
}

This code will add a product grid to your homepage by hooking into the woocommerce_before_main_content action and checking if the current page is the homepage. It then starts the product loop, displays each product, and ends the loop. You can also customize the code further as per your requirement.

Please note that you should make a backup of your functions.php file before making any changes. Also, when you update your theme, you will need to re-add this code to the new version of the functions.php file.

Also, you can use different WooCommerce hooks to place the product grid at different locations on your homepage. For more details, you can refer to the WooCommerce documentation on hooks and actions.
