eStore/eMember: Show some products while hiding others (shortcodes)

[Holly Lisle]

Ideally, on my shop front page, I’d like to show an eclectic mix of the novels and writing courses I offer; however, I do NOT want to include site memberships, which I want to keep off the front page.

Is there a way (preferably by using short codes) that I can pull random products from several of my categories, while blocking off the category of memberships?

Something that might go together like [wp_eStore_category_products_fancy id=1-2-3 idnot=4 random=yes style=1 type=1]

Or even adding newest=yes or mosttoleastpopular=yes

I’m not hoping for these as codes. But I’m hoping that naming them what I need them to do to get my shop to present my books and courses the way I want gives you a clearer picture of what I hope to accomplish.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Cheerfully,

Holly

You can use the following shortcode to get a number of random products from a particular category:

[wp_eStore_random_products number=3 style=1 type=1 cat_id=1]

The above shortcode will display 3 random products from category “1” with fancy1 style and an “Add to Cart” type button.

Given you have categorized all of your products, you can use a few of the above shortcode to achieve what you are after.

The following post is also a good read for display product(s) from a particular category:
