Creating a product slideshow
Slideshows are a great way to highlight different products in your store. Some themes have slideshows built-in, but then you're very limited in terms of how you would like to configure them. You might only be able to place a slideshow on the home page or you might only be able to include so many slides. Built-in slideshow themes are pretty limiting and it's not considered a good practice to look for this sort of functionality in a theme. Instead, if you can find a slideshow in a plugin, those are usually a bit more flexible in terms of placement and exactly how you want the slides to work. We'll be using the WooSlider and WooSlider – WooCommerce Products Slideshow plugins together to create a slideshow of products that link to the specific product pages.
Getting ready
You'll need the WooSlider and WooSlider – WooCommerce Product Slideshow plugins, available at WooThemes.com, installed and activated on your site.
