How do I set up a shop?

This theme uses the WooCommerce plugin or by searching in Dashboard > Plugins> Add New

You will also need to install the Genesis Connect for WordPress plugin or by searching in Dashboard > Plugins> Add New

Once installed you will get a message at the top of your screen asking if you'd like to install pages. Go ahead and click that button and it will install all the pages you need (cart, checkout, account, etc.)

You'll also want to configure your image settings so that your images aren't blurry once you begin adding products. Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Products and configure as you see below:

Set images as follows:

Catalog images: 400 x 400px

Single product image: 600 x 600px

Product thumbnails: 400 x 400px

Select "Hard Crop" for all >> Save Changes

After image sizes are set, you'll need to resize all images. You can do this automaticly with the plugin: "Regenerate Thumbnails".

Go to Tools > Regen. Thumbnails

Click Regenerate All Thumbnails

PLEASE NOTE: While this theme is pre-styled to work with WooCommerce, I offer no support for the plugin itself beyond the installation instructions above since it wasn't developed by me. Should you need further support for WooCommerce please visit here.

  1. Hi Victoria,
    I'm new and just launched my blog. I'm slowly going through your program, and I love it! I'm still learning of course but all in all it's a solid course program. I'm currently learning the affiliate marketing and adds so that I can start to earn money from my blog as well.
    I wanted to thank you for making a program that's easy to follow. Again, I'm really enjoying the courses and having so much fun in the process!
