Creating a Custom List of WooCommerce Products for a Taxonomy

Your WooCommerce homepage might include different lists of products. One of them can be a list of a few recent products that belong to a specific taxonomy term. Toolset allows you to create such a list in a completely visual way.

You will learn how to use the View block to display three recent products for women. «Women» is one of the terms of a custom taxonomy named «Department». To learn how to categorize products in such way visit the lesson about adding a custom taxonomy to WooCommerce Products.

In our example, we will use the product image as a dynamic background and display the product title with a fancy overlay effect. Feel free to create a design of your choice.

Steps for creating a list of products for a taxonomy

Create a View for displaying products

  1. Edit or create a page and insert the View block.
  2. In the View-creation wizard, stick to the default Grid in the Select View Loop Style section.
  3. In the last step of the wizard, select Products as your post type.
  4. In the View Loop, insert a Container block and set its background to Image.
  5. Make the image dynamic and link to the post’s featured image.
  6. Inside your Container block, insert one more Container block with a solid background set to black.
  7. Insert the Toolset Heading block inside your inner Container and set it to the dynamic title as a link.

We will improve the styling later.

    • Expand the Background section, click on the Custom Color, and in the pop-up that appears use the bottom slider to reduce the opacity.
