How do I make the Products page the home page

How do I make the Products page (store/products) the WordPress home page? “Store” is the only Page option in General Settings, but would prefer getting right down to business with the Products page.

    Hi there @Glenn

    I hope you are well today, i’m afraid by default that isn’t possible without editing the loop of your theme.

    But I’m pleased to say there is a work around :slight_smile:

    If you create a page and then use this shortcode and it’s attributes

    [mp_list_products] - Displays a list of products according to preference. Optional attributes default to the values in Presentation Settings -> Product List.
    

    
Optional Attributes:
    

    
"paginate" - Whether to paginate the product list. This is useful to only show a subset.
    
"page" - The page number to display in the product list if "paginate" is set to true.
    
"per_page" - How many products to display in the product list if "paginate" is set to true.
    
"order_by" - What field to order products by. Can be: title, date, ID, author, price, sales, rand (random).
    
"order" - Direction to order products by. Can be: DESC, ASC
    
"category" - Limits list to a specific product category. Use the category Slug
    
"tag" - Limits list to a specific product tag. Use the tag Slug
    
"list_view" - 1 for list view, 0 (default) for grid view
    
Example: [mp_list_products paginate="true" page="1" per_page="10" order_by="price" order="DESC" category="downloads"]

    Then you can go to settings > reading and choose the page you just created as your static home page, you must also choose a blog page, but that means your home page will now display your products :slight_smile:

    Thank you!

    Kind Regards

    Jack.
