If you wish to customize the Single Product page, then this article is for you. We’ve made it super easy to make changes to the product page with our beloved and easy-to-use customizer.
We will not address the customization of the product title and page structure in this document, as we’ve published other articles which explain this in more detail. You can find more about these options here — https://creativethemes.com/blocksy/docs/post-types/single-posts/
Granular Controls
Product Gallery
The Product Gallery settings will let you change up how the image gallery will show up on your pages. For our Free version, we are offering a classic layout, with a big representative image on the left, and extra thumbnails at the bottom. Members of our Premium subscription, will enjoy the addition of three more gallery types, each beautiful in its own way.
Type 1
Type 1 gallery offers a standard layout with the featured product image on the left, and thumbnails underneath it.
Type 3
The Type 3 gallery will display your product images in a nicely arranged grid on the left. Very useful in case you wish to showcase all your images at once.
Type 2
Type 2 offers a beautiful carousel view, emphasizing the featured image on top.
Type 4
Last, but not least, Gallery Type 4 will display a gorgeous carousel grid type of view at the top of the product page. This lets you streamline the page design, achieving a modern and minimalist look.
Product Gallery Options
The Product Gallery pane will let you adjust various design options for the image gallery. The options available here depend on which type of gallery you have selected. On the left image, we see the sample of options that are available with the Type 1 gallery.
There are handy controls that will let you adjust the image size and aspect ratio, enabling Lightbox, which will let your visitors take a better look at your products by giving them the opportunity to display the images full screen and even a little animation when you hover the mouse cursor on top of the images, which makes the website more interactive.
There are also options to enable a zoom effect, which enhances the image when the user mouses over it. And the sticky gallery option will make the gallery stay on the screen if the user has many scrollable elements on the right side, such as a longer description.
For other gallery types, you may find useful options such as the number of gallery columns for the Type 3 & 4 galleries, thumbnail positioning options for the Type 1 gallery, arrow visibility options for a cleaner look and more. It all depends on which gallery you have selected.
Example: Illustrative photo on the left showcasing the options available for the Type 4 gallery.
