• Before Image: The “before” image is usually the original image of the product/service before purchase or application.
• After Image: The “after” image is usually the new image of the product/service after your product was purchased or applied.

Note: For best results, we recommend both before and after images have the same dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I hide the before / after labels on the front-end slider?

Yes – To hide the sliders, navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Before / After Slider and remove the text from the Before label and After label settings area.

Will this work with my theme?

It should – We’ve tested the Before / After Product Compare Slider with a wide variety of themes. If your site is using template overrides in a child or parent theme, please ensure it contains the woocommerce_before_single_product_summary hook in woocommerce/templates/content-single-product.php. 

Alternatively, you could also purchase this extension and test it on your site. If the slider doesn’t show up, reach out to us for additional support or request a refund.

Can I hide the image zoom button?

Yes – the image zoom (i.e. magnifier button) can be hidden using custom CSS. Add the following custom CSS in your WordPress settings under Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

.woocommerce div.product div.images .woocommerce-product-gallery__trigger {
  display: none;
}
