Are you looking for a way to add an image to your product? Whether it’s a special, a picture or a gallery, the amount of sales depends on how the item is displayed. Therefore, this guide will add images to products in woocommerce. In e-commerce, the importance of image is one of the important factors when selling products. Just like a picture saying a thousand words, products with attractive image are more likely to attract customers’ attention and trigger sales. Shopkeepers tend to spend a lot of energy explaining the functions of products. But the truth is that even if we want to make reasonable decisions, most decisions are emotional. Humans tend to make emotional decisions and rationalize them. It looks more likely to attract attention if you buy the product.
No matter what type of products you sell, as long as they look beautiful, they are more likely to sell. Think about it. It’s logical. If someone wants to use or wear shoes, clothes, software and any other products, they will want to look good. Therefore, it is very important to add and optimize the image used to promote the product and make the sales product the clearest. Now that we understand the importance, let’s take a look at how to add an image to the woocommerce product. Woocommerce adds images to products in two main ways: woocommerce adds images to products.
Let’s look at these two methods in the way woocommerce dashboard is programmed. 1) Adding an image to a product that adds an image on the woocomer dashboard is a very simple operation for the woocomer store. When you create or edit a product, you can find the image meta box in the sidebar. Here, you can set up an image library containing a single recommended image and multiple images to display items. Male click one of them to open the mode, upload a new image file or select one of the existing files from the WP media library.
If you add an image to the product Gallery, you can click Ctrl + left to select multiple images and add them as a single operation. Alternatively, you can add an image to the product content description. Just click the add media button and select the image you want to add. Using this method may affect the design of the entire product page, so make sure you select the correct size and alignment before adding images to the text editor. Adding images from the dashboard is simple. However, if you have coding technology, you can also add images programmatically to improve flexibility. Let’s see how to do it.
2) Depending on how you programmatically add images to the woocommerce product, you may need to add images programmatically. This provides greater flexibility, from images to individual products, functional images, galleries, etc. This section shows sample scripts that help you add images to a specific product. The product and image IDS in the first two lines of the function must be replaced with product and image IDs. Otherwise, if there is no corresponding product and image ID, an error will appear. Also, note that scripts work in a single runtime. That is, it can be deleted after running.
Finally, the following script is a function of the sub topic. You must paste it into a PHP file. Navigate to shapes > Theme Editor. Then select functions in the right column. Search the PHP file and paste the code as follows: Alternatively, you can use plug-ins, such as code fragments. Note: you will edit some key files, so it is recommended to back up the site before you start. In addition to being a best practice,
It is recommended that you always keep your most recent backups in case you need them. If you are not familiar with hooking, you can learn various types of hooking and how to use them in the woommerce hooking guide.
2.1) add the recommended image to a single product, and the script sets the recommended image for a single product. The product ID and the image ID must be specified as follows: For example, in this case, the image with ID 48 is set as the recommended image of the product with ID 195. Function quadlayers_add_feature_image (){
$image id = 48\/\/ image
$post_id = 195; \/\/ Product ID
set_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $imageID );
}
Add_action (\
The init hook allows functions to run anywhere every time each page is loaded. On this basis, use the set_post_thumbnail() function to set the recommended image. This works in both products and posts.
2.2) just like adding recommended images to multiple products, you can perform the same operation on multiple products by adding ID. The script adds the product with ID 32, 33 and 34 to the image with ID 53. Function quadlayers_multiple_feature_image (){
$image id = 53\/\/ image
$post_id = array (32,33,34)\/\/ Product ID
($II = 0; $II malesetting > product.
To set the default image programmatically, use the following snipt. add_filter(‘QuadLayers_default_image’, ‘custom_woocommerce_placeholder_img_src’);
Function quadlayers_default_image ($SRC){
$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$uploads = untrailingslashit( $upload_dir[‘baseurl’] );
\/\/Replace with the path of the image
$SRC = $upload. \
Return $SRC;
}
This will assign default images to all products that do not have recommended images. In this case, the image path will be used instead of the ID, so it must be replaced with the correct path of the image.
To get the path, simply navigate to the media library, find the image you want to use, copy the URL path and paste it into the code above that maintains the current format. In addition to adding images to woocommerce products, you can customize items in other ways. A good option is to create a custom image size. By default, WordPress has three image sizes: thumbnail (150 x 150), middle (300 x 300), and large (1024 x 1024). Although you can easily change these sizes on the dashboard, how do you add custom default sizes? Let’s see how to do it. The first is function. Open the PHP file and paste the following code: add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ ); This enables the add_image_size feature and allows the creation of additional image sizes. Then update the file. Now, let’s add a few new image sizes. The following code adds four custom sizes with different sizes: Just paste the code and adjust the name and size as needed. add_image_size( ‘post-thumbnail size’ , 800, 240 ); add_image_size( ‘homepage-thumb size’ , 220, 180 ); add
_image_size( ‘fullpage-thumb size’ , 590, 790 ); That’s all! Now you can choose more default sizes on the site. For more information about how to add a custom image, see the guide on how to add a custom image. Bonus: WordPress deletes the default image size. Every time WordPress uploads a photo, you may notice that three copies are automatically generated with the three default image sizes just seen (thumbnail, medium and large). This is useful and helps save time. However, if you do not use some of these sizes, the image will only take up server space. A quick solution is to delete the corresponding image size from the site without creating a copy of the image. The good news is that you can do this with a simple script. For example, suppose you want to remove a medium size from your site. The functions of the subtheme. Just copy and paste the following script into your PHP file: add_filter( ‘intermediate_image_sizes_advanced’, ‘prefix_remove_default_images’ );
\/\/This will remove the default intermediate image size.
Function prefix_remove_default_images ($size){
unset( $sizes[‘medium’]); \/\/ 300 pixels
Return $size;
}To remove other sizes, add additional rows to remove sizes. For example, if you want to delete a larger size, the code is as follows: add_filter( ‘intermediate_image_sizes_advanced’, ‘prefix_remove_default_images’ );
\/\/This will remove the default medium and large image sizes.
Function prefix_remove_default_images ($size){
unset( $sizes[‘medium’]); \/\/ 300 pixels
unset( $sizes[‘large’]); \/\/ 1024 pixels
Return $size;
}That’s all! This is an easy way to delete image size. For more information, see the guide for each step. To sum up, photos are essential when selling products. Items with attractive pictures are more likely to attract customers’ attention and trigger store sales. This guide describes two ways to add images to woocommerce products. Which is more suitable for programming on the woocomerce dashboard? Adding images from the dashboard is easy, so it’s a good option. However, if you have coding technology and want more flexibility, you can also add images programmatically. We showed you several scripts that can help you easily add images, recommended images, and gallery to your product. Finally, we discussed how to add custom size images to the site and delete the default image size to customize the site and make the product more attractive.
