Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Recently Viewed Products for WooCommerce - Carousel, Widget, Block & Email

Use the [rvpw_products] shortcode on any page or post, enable automatic placement on single product pages (choose before summary, after summary, or after tabs), or add the sidebar widget, Gutenberg block, or Elementor widget. Several can be combined at once.

Drop the [rvpw_products] shortcode into any page, post, or block — including the shop page, the homepage, cart, or checkout. Pick a grid, list, or carousel layout and the number of columns, and the section will render WooCommerce recently viewed products wherever you place it.

Add the bundled sidebar widget to any widget area, including classic sidebars, footers, and block-based widget areas. Alternatively, place the [rvpw_products] shortcode in a footer or sidebar block. For narrow columns, add the rvpw-compact CSS class and use a list or carousel layout with one or two columns on mobile.

Set the layout to carousel — either in the settings for automatic placement, or with the shortcode: [rvpw_products layout="carousel"]. The carousel supports autoplay, configurable autoplay speed, arrows, pagination dots, infinite loop, and responsive items-per-view, with no jQuery dependency.

Recently viewed products are personal to each visitor — the items that specific shopper browsed, tracked via cookie or saved account history. Most viewed products are store-wide: the items most popular across all customers, drawn from a cached top-N popularity query. Use recently viewed for personalised recommendations and most viewed as a store-wide cross-sell.

Yes. Set the source to most viewed to display your store's most popular products store-wide: [rvpw_products source="most_viewed"]. You can also sort any list by most viewed.

First, make sure WooCommerce is active and that you have viewed at least one product (the current product is excluded, and the cookie is written after the page loads, so a product only appears on later page views). If you placed the shortcode, confirm the layout and column settings, and check whether a smart filter (in-stock only, hide free, exclude categories, exclude purchased) is removing the products. On heavily cached pages, a view may not be recorded until the cache is bypassed.

They can appear on several surfaces at once: automatically on the single product page (in a position you choose), plus the [rvpw_products] shortcode, the sidebar widget, the Gutenberg block, and the Elementor widget. For tracking, the first-party cookie stores only product IDs; you can optionally enable logged-in tracking and cross-device database history for signed-in customers.

Yes. Recently Viewed Products for WooCommerce is a free plugin you can download and use on your store. It includes all display surfaces (shortcode, automatic placement, sidebar widget, Gutenberg block, and Elementor widget), grid, list, and carousel layouts, most viewed products, smart filters, analytics, and follow-up emails.

No. The plugin is built to be fast and lightweight: the carousel is dependency-free with no jQuery, and CSS and JavaScript load only on pages where the section actually renders (conditional asset loading). It is also cache-friendly, working with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, and CDNs.
