I tried this plugin and unfortunately it seem to display random products rather than related ones. Also the related products appear before the Add To Cart section which is rather confusing.
Hi Sophie,
I believe you can use the settings to change the location of the related products.
Thanks
Michelle
it doesn’t work properly for me either, it only shows products from the same category even though I changed it to ‘by tags’, it completely ignores it.
Sorry for the bugs. I will try to fix that soon
Hi there, thanks for this plugin – but I use a custom theme so how do I change where it’s located on the page because the default breaks my layout?
Hi Ed,
Michelle here from WPEC, thats a good question im not to sure how these are put into the theme so i’ll take a look now for you and come back to you with an answer
Thanks
Michelle
Hi Ed,
Ok so I have taken a look at this plugin – you will see on the settings page for this plugin it has a placement products option – the values in that select box are the names of the action hooks that can be found on the single product page.
I would suggest you try adjusting the css to change the placement of it or if you want you can try moving the do_action(‘placment_name’); hook to where you want it to go.
However one thing to keep in mind with this – alot of other plugins use these same hooks to add extra info to the product page so if you notice other stuff moving around aswel this will be why.
Send me a link to your store with the plugin installed if you like – im happy to take a look at it.
… reply is below!
Hi Michelle, thanks for the detailed answer.
To avoid issues with the hooks would it be possible to call the plugin using php – for example in a div below the product information so it’s separate?
If you know how to do this it would be much appreciated!
Hi Ed,
Im sure that would be possible, would have to add another hook into your single product page and the same hook into the plugin – not a big or hard job at all, i’ll investigate this for you over the next few days (Its Friday afternoon here in NZ) and i’ll put together a modifyed pack that people can download if they like – perhaps we could even just create a template tag for this.
I’ll take a look at the options and let you know.
Thanks
Michelle
Of course, the time difference, it’s 1AM in the UK.
I’ll also take a look at the single products page to see if I can work it out, we’re currently using the ‘also bought’ cross selling under the product descriptions at the minute. The issue with that built-in feature is it requires quite a number of sales (especially when you have hundreds of products as we do) to populate… so pages look rather blank (big white space under single products) for now and will do for some time – unless of course we get thousands of sales in the next few weeks.
Hi All,
I have update and fix some issues hehe..
thx to all and sorry I’ve made you wait long.
enjoy this. ^_^

Does anyone else have trouble with related items showing up as $0.00? I am seeing this on some products, but not all.
