## Before You Start

- **Edition:** **Pro** — the Woo Product Listing widget is part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. It does not appear in the widget panel of the free plugin.- **WooCommerce** installed and active, with some published products.- **Widget to enable:** Woo Product Listing, switched on under **ThePlus Settings > Widgets**.

## Step 1: Mark products as featured

In WordPress, go to **Products**. Click the **star** in the featured column, or open **Quick Edit** and tick **Featured**.

## Step 2: Add the widget

Drag the **Woo Product Listing** widget onto the page and choose a style and layout.

## Step 3: Set Display Product to Featured

Open **Content > Content Source** and set **Display Product** to **Featured**. Only featured products remain.

## Other product sets from the same dropdown

| Display Product | Shows |
| --------------- | ----- |
| Featured | Products marked with the star |
| On sale | Products with a sale price |
| Top rated / Average Rating | Highest-rated first |
| Top sales | Best sellers first; products never sold are left out |
| In Stock / Out of Stock | By stock status |
| Low To High Price / High To Low Price | Sorted by price |
| Recent / Latest | Newest first |

## Settings Reference

| Setting | Where | Default |
| ------- | ----- | ------- |
| Display Product | Content > Content Source | All |
| Maximum Posts Display | Content > Content Source | 8 |

## Limitations

- **Pro only.** The Woo Product Listing widget is not in the free plugin.- **One product set per listing.** For featured and on-sale side by side, use two widgets.- **Not on Recently Viewed listings,** where the dropdown is hidden.

## Troubleshooting

### The listing is empty

No product is marked as featured yet. If they are, check WooCommerce is not hiding them as out of stock (WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Inventory).

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What do I need before showing featured products in Elementor?**
A: The setup depends on three things: The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro, WooCommerce installed and active, and at least some published products. The Woo Product Listing widget also has to be enabled under ThePlus Settings > Widgets. That matters because the widget is part of the Pro version, so it will not appear in the free plugin’s widget panel.

**Q: Why is my featured products listing empty?**
A: An empty listing usually means no product has been marked as featured yet. If featured products are already set, the next thing to check is whether WooCommerce is hiding them as out of stock under WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Inventory. That kind of filter can make a valid featured product disappear from the listing even when the star is set correctly.

**Q: How do I mark a WooCommerce product as featured?**
A: WooCommerce uses the star in the featured column for this, or you can open Quick Edit and tick Featured. That flag is what the Woo Product Listing widget reads when Display Product is set to Featured. In practice, this is the part that decides which products can show up later in the Elementor listing.

**Q: Can I show featured products and on-sale products in the same listing?**
A: The widget only shows one product set per listing, so featured and on-sale cannot sit side by side inside a single Woo Product Listing widget. If you want both on one page, use two widgets. The same dropdown can switch between Featured, On sale, Top rated / Average Rating, Top sales, stock status, price sorting, and Recent / Latest.

**Q: What other product filters can I use instead of featured products?**
A: The same Display Product dropdown can switch to On sale, Top rated / Average Rating, Top sales, In Stock / Out of Stock, Low To High Price / High To Low Price, and Recent / Latest. That gives you a quick way to change the intent of the list without changing widgets. The Plus Addons for Elementor, The Plus Addons, Plus Addons for Elementor, POSIMYTH provides this inside the Woo Product Listing widget.

**Q: Is there a way to show featured products in a carousel instead of a list?**
A: Featured products can also be shown in a carousel using the related doc for [Show featured products in a carousel](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/create-woocommerce-product-carousel-in-elementor/). That is useful when you want a tighter homepage strip instead of a full listing block. For setup details on the widget itself, [Woo Product Listing widget: settings overview](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/product-listing-widget-settings-overview/) covers every control in context.
