    HI, I am not a developer, I am a store owner. I dont have the funds at the moment to pay a developer, so I am trying to do what I can on my own.

    That being said, I got advice that WP with woocommerce is a good way to go. Themes seemed to be the way to go as well, as you get many items done for you that you might have to otherwise code yourself.

    I started with Abundance and now have moved to Enfold (to be responsive) , but I am starting to wonder if this theme or themes in general are the way to go.

    Enfold uses an Advanced visual editor – Nice – for the most part. When I edit pages in woocommerce I dont see the coding of the pages period, I am guesssing this is the theme. I need to modify the store – the way Enfold (I assume) has styled it, is WAY TOO BIG. I basicly want to use thumbnail size images everywhere except the main product page.

    Woocommerce says this – These settings affect the display and dimensions of images in your catalog – the display on the front-end will still be affected by CSS styles.

    I assume CSS styles is part of my Enfold theme, and therefore I make changes in the custom CSS box. But I am not wanting to change one little thing.. I dont like the sizes THROUGHOUT the store. I dont really use the blog – yet anyway..

    SO?????? maybe I should not be using Enfold? I am looking to get some advice here since I dont have a developer here.

    OR – I change settings in WP media or Woocommerce Display – and they make no difference.. no changes. This is more frustrating that helpful.

    Hi James!

    Sorry for the late reply.

    Can you please post a mockup/screenshot and show how you would like to display your shop? Any screenshot pointing out the issues/changes you would like to make would also help a lot for us to understand them and address them accordingly.

    Enfold is more powerful and flexible than Abundance theme and easier to use. I believe once we understand the changes you would like to make, we are going to be able to instruct you how to make them on Enfold :)

    Best regards,

    OK, this is the site of a company doing what I do… I actually just found this today… and its pretty much exactly what I am trying to do with the store.

    As you can see it is Categories and Subcategories, which I can do through the standard options of the theme.

    What I like is the small organized images, with the clean look. NO sort options.. I dont want them displayed.

    I found the plugin
    DHVC Woocommerce products which allows me to use a page as a category.. BUT if I do this.. then I no longer have access to the category and subcategory grid.

    IS the long and short of this I am either going to need a combination of several plugins to get this to work? or I change the templates in PHP?? right?

    I found out the site is not wordpress .. and its the style I like.

    The size and layout of the images

    Going from main categories to subcategories to products. and only the product can be enlarged.

    Clean.. quick.. I like it a lot. can I style like this with Enfold? or do I need to php code?

    Hi,

    Any site can be styled any way you want it to more or less, it doesn’t matter what platform it’s on. Though I feel that you might benefit from a bit more help than we can offer you here. We can provide you with small edits but not redesigning a whole page. You will most likely have to do some custom coding yes, not necessarily php though.

    Best regards,
    Rikard
