    Hi There,

    I just started building my new site, I would like to use WC Vendors to setup a marketplace. I have opted for the Storefront theme by Woothemes, after doing some research and noting that WC Vendors recommends this theme.

    Can I use a custom child theme with WC Vendors? The customizations will mostly be layout and css..

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello,
    Sure! You can use any properly coded WooCommerce compatible theme with WC Vendors and WC Vendors Pro- though we do recommend Storefront for 100% compatibility.

    Most of the Storefront child themes that are pre-designed are also great, from what I have seen.

    IF you wish to use a child theme of Storefront to add your own styling- that should be no issue at all.

    The only time we have seen issues with themes is when:
    a) they override our templates to style for WC Vendors but they do not update the templates when we do– so this will sometimes cause issues
    or b) when a theme uses a ton of javascript to do fancy scrolling stuff and it conflicts with our Pro dashboard
    or c) when a theme takes and creates a woocommerce.php file to modify woocommerce instead of properly overriding the templates.

    Most of the time, you will not have these issues.

    If you have any further questions, or you run into any issues, please let us know.

    Thank you!
