 * Is there a reason for requiring `add_theme_support( 'genesis-connect-woocommerce');`?
 * To me, if I am activating this plugin and Genesis and WooCommerce are activated,
   it should just work.

 * Hi Jared,
 * This is a “Studiopress standard” for official SP plugins. I think most, if not
   all, SP plugins use add_theme_support in the same way.

 * By adding the code to the funtions.php still not working right with the theme.
