Plumbit Elementor product widgets use their own settings. Some modes query published WooCommerce products, while the separate Single Product widget selects one existing product record.
Before you begin#
- Confirm WooCommerce, Elementor, and Plumbit Extensions are active.
- Have published products available for the query or selector mode.
- Open the Elementor page that contains the widget and identify the widget title before changing it.
Identify the product widgets#
Plumbit's extension widgets are titled Products and Single Product in Elementor. They are different from WooCommerce blocks and any Elementor-provided product widgets. Product widgets use their own widget settings, while WooCommerce products remain the catalog records they display.
Choose a Products display mode#
| Visible setting | What it displays | Content ownership |
|---|---|---|
| Products Carousel | A carousel of published WooCommerce products | Product query plus widget display settings |
| Products Grid | A grid of published WooCommerce products | Product query plus widget display settings |
| Products Grid Filter | A filterable product grid using the widget's category filter output | Product query and widget filter settings |
| Single Product widget | One existing product chosen by Product Select | Selected WooCommerce product record plus widget style settings |
The Products widget does not provide a direct product-style item list. Its display modes use published WooCommerce product records.
Configure the product query#
For the Products widget, choose Product Display Type from Recent Products, Featured Products, or Best Sellers. Use Filter products by category and Product Category when a category query is needed. The widget also exposes item count, responsive columns or slides, carousel settings, and grid pagination where the selected display type allows them.
Query modes read published WooCommerce product records. Product price, stock, title, image, permalink, and add-to-cart behavior remain product-owned and can change when the product changes.
Use the Single Product selector#
The separate Single Product widget exposes Product Select. It selects one existing WooCommerce product record. Updating or removing that product changes or removes the widget output because the widget refers to that record; publishing a different product does not automatically replace the selected product. A normal page content field does not automatically reference a WooCommerce product.
Understand visible field ownership#
| Visible element | Source in product-query modes | Source in Single Product |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Queried product title | Selected product title |
| Image and gallery fallback | Queried product media | Selected product media |
| Price and sale state | WooCommerce product data | Selected product data |
| Stock state | WooCommerce product data | Selected product data |
| Link | Product permalink and product type behavior | Selected product permalink and product type behavior |
Configure pagination and carousel controls#
Products Carousel exposes carousel navigation, arrows, bullets, responsive slides, loop, pause-on-hover, and speed settings. Products Grid exposes Enable Pagination and Items Per Page when those conditions are active. Products Grid Filter has its own filter output. These settings belong to the Elementor widget and do not change the theme Shop archive.
Understand links and Add to cart#
Simple products can use an Add to Cart action. Variable products commonly use Select Options so the customer chooses a variation. Grouped and External/Affiliate products have different destination or purchase behavior, and out-of-stock products may not be purchasable. Test the link without completing checkout.
Preview and update#
Change product-owned data in Products#
Update the product record when the title, price, stock, image, category, or product type is wrong.
Change widget-owned data in Elementor#
Update the Elementor page when the display mode, query, item count, category, ordering, carousel, pagination, or style is wrong.
Refresh the correct output#
Preview the page, test links, check mobile output, and clear only the relevant page or generated-file cache when saved output remains stale.
Common problems#
Get help safely#
Send the page URL, widget title, visible display mode, query settings, selected product or category, expected result, and relevant versions. Do not send passwords. Contact Plumbit support when the product source and widget settings are correct.
Product Categories widget#
Use the Product Categories widget when visitors need a category-level path into the Plumbit shop. Choose the category source, review the displayed terms, and confirm the result at the intended responsive widths.
