Put the catalogue on a page
The catalogue appears wherever you place the shortcode [product_viewer]. A shortcode is a short code in square brackets that WordPress replaces with the plugin's content when the page is shown. You can copy it from Product Viewer > How to use it with the Copy button.
With the block editor
The block editor is the standard WordPress page editor, where content is made of blocks.
- Open the page in Pages and click Edit.
- Click the + button to add a block and search for Shortcode.
- Paste
[product_viewer]into the block. - Click Update (or Publish) and view the page.
A Custom HTML block with the same code works too.
With Elementor
- Open the page with Edit with Elementor.
- Drag a full width container where you want the catalogue.
- Find the Shortcode widget in the left panel and drop it inside.
- Paste
[product_viewer]into the widget field. - Update the page and open it on the site.
Inside the Elementor editor the filters do not respond: this is normal. Check them on the live page. Tip: set the container to full width and remove the side padding, the catalogue handles its two columns on its own.
Inside a theme or PHP template
If you or your developer work on theme files, use:
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[product_viewer]' ); ?>
Shortcode options
Without options the catalogue follows Settings. These options override them on one page:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
search="no" | Hides the search field. search="yes" shows it even if it is off in Settings. |
compare="no" | Switches the product comparison off on this page. |
group="" | Removes the grouping and shows one single grid. |
Example: [product_viewer search="no" group=""]
Cannot see the products? Check that you created at least one filter and assigned products to its entries: the left column only shows filters whose entries are used by at least one product.
