    Hi

    Can you please clarify how I get the upsell widget to display the products that I have linked to it within the individual product – example; I have a widget product and within the product -> linked products -> upsells I have activated widget 2 and widget 3.

    Then in the static blocks, I have created a new static block and positioned the upsell widget (using the custom product page builder) into a new section, and activated it. Then in custom product page builder I have activated the html block to render that static block in the position I want to display it.

    I go to the product and nothing is there where the new static block should appear.

    Is there a setting I need to change to activate this?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Go to Single Product Builder > add Upsell products element into the layout content.

    Hi

    That’s not what I want. I want it inside a static block as a widget as this is a custom sidebar. It’s not a global block so it cannot go on product builder page.

    ??

    Hello, @Niddy,

    It is because by default it shows 2 columns and on slide, it will show 1 product more than 1 more like this. so while showing 1 product and scrolling them one by one will show like this. As start without my CSS code, it will show the 2 products and it scrolls half so the new product will appear fine watch the video under the private content area.

    So this is how it works by default and you cannot change it. You can do one more thing that is set my CSS code to work only on bigger devices like desktops for this first remove the code I added and add the below code there.

    @media(min-width:991px){
    .upsell-products .slide-item{width:100% !important;}}

    Then save settings and check back to your issue after clearing the browser cache.

    Regards 8Themes Team.

    I have now resolved this issue using functions to do as I need.

    Maybe a good idea to ask the dev team to add functionality to a future upgrade to add a custom block with a single product carousel option / upsell / related products etc.

    It can be done, just surprised nobody has ever requested a proper single product carousel that shows upsells / related products in a custom widget block.

    Thanks again for your help.
