• WooCommerce doesn’t work very good with your own design/custom themes. Each product creates it’s own product/name page that has very bad styling and this can’t be edited.

    What exactly do you mean? Products follow the template hierarchy (so you can have a dedicated template for products) and template files can be overridden with your own markup. And you can add whatever styling you want.

    If this wasn’t possible, there wouldn’t be so many 3rd party themes would there.

    In another thread you mentioned we were “pushing” our own premium themes. Well, just for the record there are hundreds of vendors selling WooCommerce themes (not just WooThemes), and we have free offerings too. e.g. https://wordpress.org/themes/storefront/

    Take a look at storefront if you want to learn how a theme is constructed.

    Woocommerce is very good plugin . Why YOEBO are saying it is not work with custom design . ?. In every software you need to understand the working . For to change the style and code you need to read the documents well .

    For to customize pages and style read https://docs.woothemes.com/document/template-structure/ .

    For to see hooks available read https://docs.woothemes.com/wc-apidocs/hook-docs.html.

    Every custom tailored product( in your case the theme) needs to follow the base structure for which it was created. This is the thumb rule for anything out there, not just plugins and software. The documentation is one of the best thing in WooCommerce. We have created at least 40+ custom themes and if you follow the documentation properly, you shouldn’t face any issue.

    At the end of day WooCommerce is a free plugin,the features and the flexibility it offers is way too good.

    Sandy, no.

    You shouldn’t have to rebuild your theme for each new plugin for it to work as advertised.

    Rebuild is a bit of an exaggeration. Styling a product page does not require you to rebuild your theme, unless you don’t want it to look like the default layout provided “as advertised” at all. It’s ok to admit you don’t understand theming btw, I’m sure someone can guide you.

    I feel my review is still accurate in my opinion.

    Shame. At the end of the day, a plugin of this scale cannot be made to work 100%, and be styled correctly 100%, of the time for all themes in existence. There are simply too many variations.

    Like I said, there are free themes, docs on custom theming, hooks galore, template overrides, and custom CSS you can add to make it fit with custom themes. It just takes a little effort on your part.

    Thanks.
