  1. Title Relevance - select the importance of having the Title of a Product match your article's Tags. 'Not Important' will mean this match is ignored.
  2. Tag Relevance - select the importance of having the Tags of a Product match your article's Tags. 'Not Important' will mean this match is ignored.

Slider Display Options

This section decides how your slider looks and behaves so you can fine tune it to the layout of your store.

 

  1. Slider Header - this the text above the responsive slider. It is a HTML input so you can style however you wish to match your theme. The default is '<h4>Related Products</h4>' but if you wish it to say "Buy these now" simply change to '<h4>Buy these now</h4>'. 
  3. Slider Items  - This allows you to set the maximum number of items in the slider.
  4.  
  5. Slider Display - This the number of items in the slider to display at once. If your Items to Display is less then your Slider Size - then the sliders will scroll. If you choose more or the same it will be fixed unless the screen size is made smaller than the slider width.


Slider Tips

  • Use standard image sizes and shapes (preferably square) for your Products. This will ensure they look great!
  • For horizontal sliders its recommended to have a maximum (10) Slider Size and a Display number of 3-5 depending on your site display width
  • For vertical/side bar sliders its recommended to display 1 item and reduce the Slider Size 3-4. This prevents bunching of the scroll dots and looks cleaner.
