How do you add a "Latest Additions" section?

[Charlie]

I am brand new to using this plugin and I’ve read most of the documentation. I will have a basic store with several categories on different pages. I would like to have a “Latest Additions” section on my home page that automatically displays the last, say, 12 products I have added to the site.

How is this done? Do I have to do it manually?

Similarly, is it possible to have a “Most Popular” section of your top 10 selling products?

Thank you!

There are shortcodes for latest, popular and random products. Check the shortcodes list and you will find it:

Oh I see they are in the extra shortcodes plugin. Thank you!

Is there somewhere we can see what all of these examples look like?

How can I add a Random Additions section using PHP Function Reference? I used this short code : [wp_eStore_random_products number=1 style=1 type=1] but now i must use the PHP Function Reference, which is it? Fabio

Try the following PHP code which will show a random product:

do_shortcode('[wp_eStore_random_products number=1 style=1 type=1]')

Hi, the code works perfectly, but not yet, when I insert it in the post, is always displayed the last piece of string on the web page ‘);?>

The following syntax is the one I used to insert the php code on the page, is that correct? :

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[wp_eStore_random_products number=6 style=3 type=1]’); ?>

[admin]

Your syntax looks correct to me. Check your code to see if you have an extra set of ;?> characters in your code on this page.

I thought you wanted to use it in the sidebar? If you are using it in a WordPress post/page, you don’t need to use the PHP syntax, use the shortcode directly in the post.

Ok, i will use shortcode directly in the pages. No, there are not extra set of ;?> characters in the code of my blank post, it’s very strange. Thanks for answers.
