How to Switch Between Slider and Stacked Gallery Layouts

If you’re looking to change your WooCommerce product gallery from the slider or carousel layout to a stacked one, this guide will walk you through how to do it.

WooThumbs for WooCommerce comes built with two different layout styles, Slider and Stacked:

  • The Slider layout gives you full control over your gallery thumbnails, positioning, slider transitions, and more.
  • The Stacked layout gives you a set of options to pick from, depending on what type of stacked layout you’re looking for.

How to change your WooCommerce product gallery layout

We’ll go through each layout and its options below. But first, we’ll walk you through how to find them.

To do this, take the following steps:

  1. From your WordPress dashboard, go to WooCommerce > WooThumbs and click the Display tab or link at the top of the page.
  2. You’ll see a section called Display Settings and some Gallery Layout options on this page.
  1. If you click Slider, you’ll update your product gallery to a carousel-style gallery with thumbnails. When clicked, two menu items appear at the top of the page: Slider and Slider Navigation. These allow you to customize your Slider layout further.
  2. If you click Stacked, you’ll see a set of stacked layout options with images that indicate how your product images will be stacked on the product page. You’ll also see a new Images tab appear at the top of the page.
