How to show single Woocommerce Product on Homepage?

[kelmom]

Hello! I am currently learning PHP & how to customize WordPress from the server side aspect of things. I'm currently using a sample Genesis child theme.

I have a shop that I set up on WordPress using the Woocommerce plugin. The shop holds only a single item. Since I only have 1 item to sell, I would like to show the product on my homepage in such a fashion where the complete product page is shown on the homepage.

Here is some code i've been trying to get to work (this is placed in the home.php file):

'$prodpage = array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
‘taxonomy’ => ‘banner’,
‘term’ => ‘banner’
);
$featured_query = new WP_Query( $prodpage );

if ($featured_query->have_posts()) :

while ($featured_query->have_posts()) :

$featured_query->the_post();

$product = get_product( $featured_query->product->ID );

// Product Info Output Here

endwhile;

endif;

wp_reset_query(); // Query Reset

I have also tried using query_posts in this manner:

if ( is_home() ) {
query_posts( 'p=31' );
}'

The good news is that I don't get flagged for any syntax errors. The bad news is that I am afraid my logic is off somewhere as I get a page with only the WP header and footer. The mid section where the product should show up is not showing up. I'm wondering if there is any Genesis-specific thing that I need to do in order to make this work?

I really appreciate any guidance you guys are able to give! 🙂

I may be over simplifying this, but could you not just use the shortcode? [product id="99"]

[product id="99"] (where 99 is the product id number) only pulled up the thumbnail and add-to-cart button. I needed the full product page.

So, I discovered there were two ways to go about this (both really easy).

1st -- plugin shortcode [product_page id="99"] -- this will give the FULL product page.

OR

in your home.php file insert this manual shortcode:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[product_page id="31"]'); ?>

You would be surprised how long it took me to get what was in reality a super simple answer! I think I was over-complicating things... because I couldn't find what I needed within the first few Google searches.
