*Note: The "standard page" feature currently only supports the Ultra Chic theme template. With regards to systematic layout concerns, this feature will not be available for merchants who use the layout engine and whose HTML Editor contains the "products.liquid" file.
SHOP Builder-powered advanced pages support "standard page", allowing you to comprehensively adjust the layout of all advanced pages down to the finest details. Within the "product listing page layout" feature, you can arrange the layout of widgets, and adjust their format and placement. Furthermore, you can also insert relevant texts to propel SEO effectiveness.
In this article, you'll find:
1. Go to the "product listing page layout " editor
In the SHOPLINE Admin, go to [Online Store Design] > [Pages] > [Standard Page], and click Edit on the right of "Product Listing Layout".
You will enter the editor for the product listing page layout.
Click on the drop-down list above the preview window to switch between the product listing pages you want to view (these pages are the categories you set in the Admin > [Product & Categories] > [Categories]).
*Notes:
- The product listing page layout editor does not support SEO settings on the left sidebar.
- If you have enabled the layout engine for online store design, you will not be able to use the standard page. To edit the layout with the standard page, you need to delete the file: "products.liquid".
2. Adjust product listing page layout
In the product listing page editor, you can edit the "Announcement bar", "Header", "Footer" and other widgets. The Announcement bar, Header, and Footer share the same setting steps and effects as that of SHOP Builder. In this section, you'll be introduced to the settings of other widgets.
In the product listing page layout, widgets can be divided into fixed widgets and movable widgets (which have a gray background). The fixed widget cannot be repositioned, while the movable widget can be adjusted, added, or removed.
