Sport is compatible with the free eCommerce plugin - WooCommerce.
With WooCommerce you can easily add a webshop to your site. To install this plugin you can either go to Plugins > Add New - search for WooCommerce and install/activate it or you can download it directly here.
Activate WooCommerce
When you activate the WooCommerce plugin several things will happen:
- WooCommerce asks your permission to create the standard WooCommerce pages. We recommend that you allow this to make sure all the necessary pages are created correctly.
- A new set of WooCommerce specific theme options will become available. These are located at Sport Settings > Pages & Post > WooCommerce. With these options you can select to display a sidebar widget area on Shop and Product pages and you can also select which widget area to use on your WooCommerce pages.
- Sport creates a brand new WooCommerce widget area for those who want the sidebar on WooCommerce pages to be unique for the shop. Go to Appearance > Widgets > WooCommerce Widget Area to set up this new sidebar.
Add the shop to your menu.
To add your new webshop to your menu follow these steps:
- Go to Appearance > Menus
- In the Pages section you will see a list of your newly created pages. Select Shop (and any other page you want to display on your menu) and click Add to Menu.
- Save menu.
Sidebars on WooCommerce pages.
To add a sidebar to your Shop and Product pages go to Sport Settings > Pages & Post > WooCommerce and check the relevant checkbox.
All other WooCommerce pages run on ordinary page templates so you must change the page template for each of these pages to control whether or not to display a sidebar. If for example you want your Cart to display a sidebar follow these steps:
- Go to Pages > Cart.
- In Page Attributes > Template - select Page with Sidebar.
- Update.
Product Catalogue Pages (Columns)
For greater flexibility in page layout, We have optimized the Product Catalogue pages to work with a free plugin called WooCommerce Product Archive Customiser. This plugin allows you to change the items per row on the product catalogue page, from 2 columns to 5 columns. Once installed these settings can be adjusted in WooCommerce settings.
