Navigate to 'Layouts' -> 'Templates' and click 'Product List'. Click 'Edit' on the 'Product List Grid' widget and ensure 'Use Zoned Product Layout' & 'Use Zoned Category Layout'are ticked. If not, tick and click 'Save'. 2. Check Campaign products if applicable: Navigate to 'Layouts' -> 'Templates' and click'Home Page'. Click 'Edit' on the 'Campaign Slider' widget and ensure 'Use Zoned Product Layout' is ticked. If not, tick and click 'Save'. |
NOTE - Custom product fields can also be added to the Product Compare grid if required. Follow this guide to add a your custom field (usually prefixed with 'CUS_') to the 'GetProductComparisonInformation-append' field group.
