Displaying products on blog posts

[Ryan S]

Hi! I want to make my store more like a blog style so as to make my articles drive traffic to my site.

So, how can I post products or product categories on my blog posts?

You can follow these steps:

Set up blog page:
- Go to Pages (left menu)
- Make sure page called "Blog" is added.
- Make sure this has the label "Posts Page".
- Add "Blog" to your Top Menu via "Customize".

Download product image:
- Go to product page.
- Select product.
- Download product image.

Login to WordPress:
- Login to WordPress website.
- Go to "Posts" (left menu).
- Click on "Categories".
- Add product category.
- Add post category.

Add blogpost:
- Click on "Add New" (left menu).
- Enter title & description.
- Select category where to post in.
- Add featured image.
- Publish.

Tadaaa, now you have posted a product (image) to your blog.

Thanks kevgl!

But the posts "categories" are way different than the "product category". Product categories does not appear as an option in the post categories.

Thanks again kevgl!

This is however manually posting a pics to a post linked to a product category. If I import a new related product, it will require me to update the posts itself. Also, the static pics don't include the dynamic prices that change from time to to time.

I hope there is a way if a make a blog post about RC batteries, all advertised products below are automatically about RC batteries.
