Priorities and limits

Priority

Every label has a Priority (in its Where it shows box): lower numbers come first. A new label goes after the others.

The priority decides:

• Which labels a product shows when it matches more than the limit: those first in the order win.
• The order in a stack: in the same position, the first label sits nearest the corner.
• Which corner ribbon shows when two share a position.

The easiest way to change it is on the list: drag a label by the handle in the Priority column. The new order is saved at once, and the numbers follow the order on the page. You can also type a number in the editor; labels with the same number keep the order they were made in.

Labels per product

WooCommerce → Settings → Products → Labels → Labels per product sets how many labels one product image shows: 3 by default. Set 0 to show every label a product matches.

The limit counts per place: a product can show three labels in the shop and three on its page. A label left off a product because its placeholder has nothing to show doesn't count, so the next label takes its place.
