WooCommerce make product featured.<\/span><\/h2>\n

In order to make a product a featured one using WooCommerce, navigate to your products page. Then click on the star icon of the product you want to feature. A product with a filled-in star is classified as a featured product.<\/span><\/p>\n

You could also choose to feature a product by selecting quick edit on the product and checking the box for featuring that product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To display the featured product on your shop page you can add the following shortcode [featured_products per_page=\u201d8\u2033 columns=\u201d4\u2033 orderby=\u201ddate\u201d order=\u201ddesc\u201d]. Using this shortcode, eight of your featured products will be shown in a grid (four columns by two rows), with the most recent appearing first. You can customize the numbers based on how you want your featured products to appear on your page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In order to change the image sizes of your products on the shop page, you can navigate to the <\/span>Appearance<\/b> \u279e Customize tab.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then select <\/span>WooCommerce<\/b> followed by <\/span>Product<\/b> Images<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here, you can customize the height and width of your product images in the value of pixels.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
