This week, the BigCommerce Developer Community discussed finding a current page’s context within the Stencil framework, various methods for injecting JavaScript into your theme, applying custom templates to a category, and modifying Featured Products when using BigCommerce for WordPress. We also saw a request for info about using the Widgets API when a created region isn’t found on the storefront.
