Classic editor

Add products in the classic editor and on custom post types like WooCommerce — the same Product Manager, as a metabox, with shortcodes for display.

The Content Egg Product Manager isn't only for the block editor. On the classic editor and on custom post types — including WooCommerce products — the same manager appears automatically in the right sidebar, identical to the block-editor panel. There's nothing to enable.

The Product Manager metabox

The metabox is the same Product Manager you'd use in the block editor, just in a different place:

  • The same family tabs — Products, Coupons, Images, Videos.

  • The same Search, Added, and Shortcode tabs, edit drawer, groups, price refresh, and AI title/description.

The whole search-and-attach workflow is identical to the block editor. For the full walkthrough — searching modules, adding, managing, groups, and AI — see Add & manage products.

Displaying products without blocks

The classic editor has no blocks, so products are displayed with shortcodes or automatic embedding:

  • Shortcode — on the manager's Shortcode tab, build a [content-egg-block] (choose groups, modules, limit, and template, including custom templates) and paste it wherever you want the products to appear. See Shortcode parameters.

  • Automatic embedding — enable it in a module's settings to place its products at the start or end of the post automatically, with no shortcode. See How content is displayed.

WooCommerce products

On WooCommerce products (and other custom post types) the metabox appears automatically — attach products exactly as above. For WooCommerce-specific display and synchronization (price sync, attributes, offers badges), see the WooCommerce section.
