  • What template are you using? What’s your site address?

    Basically you’re going to
    1. Create product page
    2. Create your product inventory
    3. Insert products into page via shortcodes
    4. Make your product page the home page

    Did you create a product page? First go to your Pages and create a regular product page. Then go to CartPress– create your inventory. Be sure to create categories for your similar items– will make it much easier when you go to setting up your storefront page.

    Once you have products, go to TCP tools at the bottom. Click on Short Code Generator. I don’t know how much you know about WordPress so I’ll explain… Short codes are easy small pieces of code that you can insert into posts and pages. These make it easy for a non-experienced coder to get a very custom look.

    Fill in all the blanks– basically what you’re doing with this code generator is creating a shortcode so you can insert your product storefront onto a page. Identifier must have NO spaces. Description is for your use only, be sure to select products on post type then you can select what products you want to include. Then show the limit of products shown. Clicking advanced options allows you to select the number of columns and the information you’d like to show with your product. (ie. description, add to cart button, etc.) You’ll want to generate several short codes with different numbers of columns to give your page a custom look.

    Then go back to the products page you created and insert the corresponding shortcodes (ie. [tcp_list id=”all_products”] ) There your page is created. To set this page as your homepage instead of the blog, go to Settings > Writing > Then select static page, make the homepage your products page then select a page for your blog to appear (ie. a page you created called Blog or News)

    Nevermind… Got it!

    If you use CartPress (which I think is the best), you can use the short codes to create your products in a grid, then in your Settings > Reading just change Home page to static page and select the Products page you placed your items on.

    Go to Appearance > Editor > CSS, then find the section for your Navigation menu usually coded as #nav or #mainnav. Depending on the coder the font property for your nav can also be listed in the H1, H2, etc. part of the CSS Then add the necessary code for your font family. Kinda’ like this:

    h4 { font-family: sans-serif; }

    I’d like to know if anyone can help me on my problem.. I am also using the Yoko theme for a client, HawaiiTravelSolutions.com I have several PHP templates, one for this single column concept, full width, both columns, but now I need to make a three column but with the “secondary” on the left, content in center and “tertiary” on right. I created a Homepage.php template which you can see below:

    <?php
    /**
     * @package WordPress
     * @subpackage Yoko
     * Template Name: Homepage
     */
    
    get_header(); ?>
    
    <div id="wrap">
    
    	<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
    		<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-1' ) ) : ?>
    
    		<?php endif; // end sidebar 1 widget area ?>
    	</div><!-- #secondary .widget-area -->
    
    	<div id="content" width="500px">
    
    		<?php the_post(); ?>
    		<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
    
    	</div><!-- end content -->
    
    	<div id="tertiary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
    
    		<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-2' ) ) : ?>
    
    		<?php endif; // end sidebar 2 widget area ?>
    
    	</div><!-- end tertiary .widget-area -->
    
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    However, for some reason, even when I specify the width of my content container everything gets pushed over. See my problem here: https://hawaiitravelsolutions.com/?page_id=929
