Create a folder in your theme called ‘mimo-carousel’ and inside a folder called ‘partials’, then create a file insise, called ‘mimo-carousel-content.php’, to overwrite content template for posts.

    //Use woocommerce template of theme
    get_template_part( 'woocommerce/content','product');

Plugin under development is what shows when I actually get into the options settings. The settings nav on the plugin page doesn’t even go to the right place and wordpress says “you do not have permission to view this page” on the broken link.
