Fancy Product Page

A WordPress / WooCommerce plugin that lets you display a WooCommerce product using an ordinary WordPress Page (or Post) in place of the default single-product template.

Build a rich, bespoke landing page for a product in the page editor (or a page builder such as GenerateBlocks / Elementor), associate it with a WooCommerce product, and the whole site — menus, related-product links, the shop loop — points at that page while the underlying product is still sold through WooCommerce. The plugin keeps WooCommerce's SEO structured data, permalinks, and add-to-cart behaviour working on the substituted page.

What it does

• Page-as-product — associate any published Page/Post with a product via a "Fancy Product Page" selector on the product editor.
• Permalink override — every link WordPress/WooCommerce generates for that product resolves to the chosen page instead of /product/....
• SEO structured data — injects WooCommerce product schema.org JSON-LD into the substituted page so search engines still see a product.
• Add to cart by SKU — ?add-to-cart=<SKU> works alongside the usual numeric product ID.
• [add_to_cart_btn] shortcode — drop a themed add-to-cart button (by id or SKU, with quantity and price) anywhere in the page.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.0+
• WooCommerce (active)
• PHP 8.0+

Installation

1. Copy the fancy-product-page directory into wp-content/plugins/.
2. Activate Fancy Product Page in Plugins.
3. Edit a WooCommerce product, find the Fancy Product Page meta box, and choose the Page/Post to use as its front-end.

Updates

The plugin self-updates from its GitHub releases. Once installed, new tagged releases appear in Dashboard → Updates like any other plugin update. Releases are built automatically by .github/workflows/release.yml when a v*.*.* tag is pushed. Update checks can be disabled with the fancy_product_page_updater_enabled filter.

Usage

See docs/usage.md for a step-by-step walkthrough, and docs/shortcode.md for the [add_to_cart_btn] reference.
