Thank you for your purchase of Craft Haven. This WordPress Genesis child theme can be use as a blog, shop or both. The theme is customized to allow any of the following sections on the front page.
- Featured Posts or Products Slider.
- Featured Blog Posts Section
- Featured Products Section
- Email Sign Up Form
- Instagram Feed
You can leave out sections if you don’t need them. You should allow yourself some time to get the site set up, especially if you are new to WordPress. Nearly any WordPresss template that has any flexibility for display requires set up, especially if it also includes ecommerce options. There are not many truly out of the box options if you want anything more than a very basic theme. Set up is not difficult, but it does require a number of steps that some people new to WordPress might initially find intimidating. However, setting up the theme is also a great way for you to learn your way around WordPress and learn some things that you will need to know down the road such as how to install plugins, upload headers, and use widgets.
If you would like me to install and setup your theme for you, I offer that as a purchase addon through my website here and through Etsy here for $60. Set up is normally completed within 24 hours on weekdays and 48 hours on weekends.
To get started, you will be installing Studiopress Genesis, your Craft Haven Theme file, and various plugins. Follow the sections below in order to install the necessary items and set up the site.
