Question

Anybody can guide me on how to display products in homepage in Magento 2? In Magento 2 Backend, Content->Pages->Home Page->Content, I am trying to insert Widget for New products on homepage but I am not successful.

Was it helpful?

Solution

For some reason the widget selector does not work in alpha96. I will post an issue soon on github.
But you can make it work manually. Add this to the homepage content from CMS->Pages: 

<p>{{widget type="Magento\\Catalog\\Block\\Product\\Widget\\NewWidget" template="product/widget/new/content/new_grid.phtml"}}</p>

I tried with single backslashes type="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\Widget\NewWidget" but it does not work.
