 * My installation of the VW Ecommerce Store doesn’t work. I followed instructions
   to create the Home Page and set to static. It doesn’t work. Nothing from the 
   demo appears or even any layout similar to that shown with the theme. I have 
   a blank page with black and blue horizontal bars and nothing else. It won’t even
   obey the colors I have set for the theme. Any suggestions? The link you provided
   in another forum thread 11 months ago leads to a dead page.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftheme-not-working-33%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Also, the theme asks for Woocommerce plugin which I do not use. Will the theme
   work with other shopping carts?

 * I believe I have found the issue. In fact, the theme doesn’t come with anything.
   It’s just another of the many WP themes that shows a fancy theme with brags yet
   contains nothing. You have to create everything you see in the demo. Theme simply
   gives you a preset layout to follow if you choose. I’m uninstalling it as I hate
   deception. This is not theme. It’s a box on a page and nothing else.
