Webshop in Dusk to Dawn

    I love the Dusk to Dawn theme, but I am running into some trouble setting up a webshop.
    I have just installed Woocommerce, and it doesn’t seem to go well together with the theme, as you can see on : https://www.lockedinthecellar.com/test-shop/

    My main issue is the menu on the left being pushed down. I have to be sure this can be solved before I continue to add products.
    If you can recommend another eCommerce solution instead of WooCommerce that works better with the theme, I’m willing to switch.

  • My colleague Richard (sacredpath here on www.ads-software.com) provided this CSS which should prevent the menu from dropping on product pages using the Woocommerce plugin:

    .post-type-archive-product #main .widget-area {
   position: relative;
   top: -445px;
}

    Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten whenever the theme is updated.

    An easy way to add custom CSS is to install the Jetpack plugin and activate the Custom CSS module. You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.

    As alternatives, you could either install a standalone custom CSS plugin, or create a child theme.

    Thanks Kathryn. That worked for this one page, but not on the product pages. Apart from the positioning of the menu, there are a lot of things that don’t look right in WooCommerce in this theme. I think that’s because of the wide menu, that doesn’t leave enough page width as WooCommerce would like.

    I’m not very experienced in modifying in WordPress, and don’t really feel like spending a lot of hours trying to get this looking half decent.

    Can you recommend me a eCommerce solution for use in this theme, preferably one that looks properly after installing without me having to make any adjustments?

    I’m not able to recommend an ecommerce plugin as I’ve never used one myself.

    Instead of changing the plugin, you may want to experiment with different themes to find one that works well with the plugin. You could try looking at folks’ sites within the WooCommerce forum to see what others are using.

    Good luck with your online store!
