常见问题
-
Does this require WooCommerce?
-
Yes. The block queries WooCommerce products and will not load without WooCommerce active.
-
Can I show products from a specific category?
-
Yes. In the Options tab, set Query Type to By Category, then choose one or more product categories from the multi-select dropdown.
-
How many products can I show?
-
Between 1 and 20 products per carousel instance. Use the Products Count control in the Inspector panel.
-
Can I have multiple carousels on the same page?
-
Yes. Each block gets a unique ID automatically — even duplicated blocks are fully independent.
-
Can I show products in random order?
-
Yes. Set Order By to Random. Note that random-order carousels are not cached (cache would defeat the randomness).
-
Is autoplay accessible?
-
Autoplay pauses on hover and on focus so keyboard and screen reader users are not disrupted.
-
Does Add to Cart work?
-
Yes. The button uses WooCommerce’s standard AJAX cart system. The cart quantity updates in real time and stays in sync across all carousel instances on the page.
-
Does this work with HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?
-
Yes. The plugin explicitly declares HPOS compatibility and uses
WC_Product_Querythroughout — no legacy order table queries. -
Does this work with block themes?
-
Yes. The block is fully compatible with block themes and classic themes. It uses
get_block_wrapper_attributes()so the block supports alignment and spacing controls natively. -
Is the output cached?
-
Yes. The full HTML is cached in WP transients by default for 24 hours. The cache is automatically cleared when product stock changes, prices update, or a scheduled sale starts or ends. You can change the TTL using the
lpcb_cache_ttlfilter:add_filter( 'lpcb_cache_ttl', fn() => HOUR_IN_SECONDS * 6 ); -
How do I style it to match my theme?
-
Use the Styles tab in the Inspector panel to set accent color, title color/size/weight, price color/size, and button colors and border radius. All overrides are applied as CSS custom properties on the block wrapper — no specificity battles with theme styles.
-
Can I use this block in the site editor (FSE)?
-
Yes. The block works in the site editor, template parts, and patterns.
