Featured Products

A simple step-by-step guide with explanations detailing how to edit the products shown in the Featured Products section of your Freewebstore.

How do I change the number of products that appear in the Featured Products section?

You can show up to 50 products in your Featured Products section. When you first sign up, you will notice that you have 12 random products that appear in this section. This is so that you can see what your store looks like with featured products.

To edit the number of products shown in this section:

1. Log in to your Freewebstore Control Panel.

2. Go to Design > Theme Editor.

3. Locate and click the +Add button at the top of your screen.

4. Click Section to Page from the dropdown.

5. A side panel should appear, locate and click Featured Products.

6. Here, you will see the setting to change the number of Featured Products on your home page. Simply set the number in the field to the number of products you wish to display on your store.

7. You can also choose to display them in the order you have specified in the Browsing Options panel via the Categories section or in Random Order by checking the relevant box.

8. When you are happy, click Save.

To hide the section altogether, simply set the number to 0.

How do I change the products that appear in the Featured Products section?

If you do not select any products to appear in this section, the system will randomly load the number of products you have chosen to show from your inventory to display here.

If you want full control over the products that are displayed in this section, you must choose the same number of products that you have specified in the Number of Featured Products. For example, if you have chosen to show 10 products in your Featured Products section, but only choose 5, our system will load those 5 to display and randomly load another 5 to make it up to 10 products displayed in this section.

If you have chosen to display 10 products and you select 20 products to display there from your products list, our system will choose 10 products randomly from your 20 products to display in the Featured Products section. Meaning not all of the products you have selected in your product list will be displayed.

To choose your Featured Products:

1. Login to your Freewebstore Control Panel.

2. Go to Manage > Products > List All Products.

3. Here, you will see a list of your products, to select which ones are to be added to your Featured Products, simply click the Heart icon on each row of the products you wish to add.

Remember, if you have chosen to display 8 products, you must choose 8 products here to make sure there are no random selections in your Featured Products section.
