Hi @edwardsmark,
Yes, when you insert the [products] shortcode into a post or page, it should display products from your WooCommerce store. If nothing is showing up, here are a few things to check:
- Do you have published products? The shortcode will only display products that are published and set to “visible” in the catalog.
- Is your page/post set to “public”? Drafts or private pages might not render shortcodes correctly on the front end.
- Are you using any shortcode attributes? Just
[products] with no attributes displays your most recent products. You can specify categories, IDs, etc., for more control.
- Theme or plugin conflicts: Sometimes, themes or plugins can interfere with how shortcodes display. Try switching to a default theme (like Storefront or Twenty Twenty-One) and disabling other plugins except WooCommerce to see if it works.
- Cache: If you use caching plugins or server caching, try clearing the cache.
You can find more details and examples here: https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/products/
Let us know if any of these steps help or if you see any error messages!
thank you! [product id=1234] worked just fine. i am still surprised that just merely using [product] didn’t display everything…. but a win is a win!
