For premium support with this plugin please visit: Revolution Slider on Code Canyon.

Create A New Slider

• From the plugin's main admin page, select Create New Slider.

• Enter a Slider Title and Alias

The slider's Title can be anything, but the Alias should not have any special characters or spaces (but dashes and underscores are ok).

• Select a Slider Type and Slider Layout

Before saving, you can select several of the slider's settings from this page. But choosing these settings are not required to officially create a new slider, as they can be adjusted afterward.

• Stop Slide on Hover: Stop slider progress when the user hovers their mouse over the slider.
• Stop Slider After..

  + Amount of Loops: Stop the slider after all slides have looped a set amount of times.

  + At Slide: Stop the slider at a specific slide.

• Shuffle / Random Mode: Stop slider progress when use hovers their mouse over the slider.
• Loop Single Slide: Stop slider progress when use hovers their mouse over the slider.
• Stop Slider out of Viewport: Stop slider when the page is scrolled and the slider is no longer visible.

  + Out of Viewport: Wait - Only start the slider when its scrolled into view (useful for sliders further down the page). Pause - Pause the slider when its scrolled out of view.

  + Area out of Viewport: A percentage of the slider that needs to be inside/outside the viewport before slider starts or pauses.

• Set the default individual slide settings. For example, let’s say you always want your individual slides to start off with a “Slide to Top” transition. Adjusting the “Transitions” value will set it up so all new slides have have a “Slide to Top” transition by default. Or if you already have individual slides created, you can change the value of “Transitions” and then select its checkbox, and then click the “Overwrite Selected Settings on all Slides” button, and the main transition for all existing slides will be changed to the new default value.

• The timer line that illustrates the amount of time before the next slide is shown. If active, choose the progress bar’s position (top or bottom of slider), its height in pixels, and also its color and transparency level.

• Alternative 1st Slide: Normally the slider will always start with slide #1. But if you’d like your slider to start with a different slide, enter the slide’s number here.
• First Transition Active: Sometimes when your slider first starts, it’s more elegant to have a different transition such as a simple fade at the very beginning. Use this option if you’d like to specify a special, initial transition for the very first slide. When set, the special transition will only be executed on the very first slide once. Then once the slider loops, the original slide will default back to its individual slide transition settings.

• Next Slide on Focus: Browser behaviour varies when switching between windows/tabs (JavaScript stops executing, etc.). But the “Next Slide on Focus” option will often correct slider issues related to switching between tabs and windows.

• Shadow Type: Shadows will be shown beneath the slider. Choose between 6 different styles, or choose “No Shadow” (the default option). And preview the Shadow Type as shown in the Primer section above.
• Dotted Overlay Size: Dotted overlays are transparent grid-like graphics that will be placed above the slides, giving the slider a “mesh” type look (4 styles available). Preview the options as shown in the Primer section above.
• Slider Background: The slider’s main background. Normally if your individual slides have their own background images, the slider’s main background would only be visible when the slider first loads, and before the first slide displays. But setting a background here for the slider itself is particularly useful for when you’re using “Transparent” slides (slides with no background image). Choose a solid color or set an image as the background. Apply some padding to give your slider a border. And set specific background image options such as Background Fit, Background Repeat, and Background Position.

• The slider's animated preloader graphic: The spinner will be shown when the slider first loads, and also for additional slides if LazyLoad is being used. Choose between 6 different spinner styles, or choose “Off” for no spinner.

• Disable Slider on Mobile: Choose to disable the entire slider on mobile devices. If disabled, you can replace the slider with a simple fallback image.
• Disable Ken Burn on Mobile: The Ken Burns effect is an advanced animation that looks great on desktop computers, but for mobile devices, providing a more simple slider can sometimes be a better user-experience. Depending on your preference, toggle the KenBurns effect on and off for mobile with this setting.
• Hide Element Under Width: Choose to hide the entire slider, individual layers, or all layers when the screen size is below a specific pixel width (i.e. 640px, etc.).
  Hiding layers is useful for when lots of content displays nicely on desktop, but there isn’t really enough real estate (screen space) to fit everything on mobile.
  “Predefined Layers” are specific layers you’ve designed to “hide” under the pixel width set here for this setting.

• Position on the page: The default alignment for the slider. Options are “left”, “center” or “right”.
• Margin Top, Margin Bottom: Add some space above or below the slider in relation to other content on the page. Both positive and negative numbers supported.

• Position: Under the position toggle you can edit the alignment and the margins of the slider.
• Appearance: From here you can choose a slider shadow, show or hide the slide timer, add a dotted overlay, select a slider background color, add a slider border and/or upload a custom slider background image (complete with fit, repeat and positioning options).
• Spinner: Use this option to choose which loading image you want to use for your slider. There are 5 spinners to choose from.
• Mobile Visibility: You can choose to hide your responsive slider (or certain layers) on small browsers or devices. Use the mobile visibility options to set a minimum browser size (note: this option is only for the responsive slider layout).

Enable Arrows / Arrow Style: Choose to enable/disable navigation arrows, and if enabled, choose between 15 different pre-built styles.

• Visibility: Always Show: Yes = Show navigation element at all times. No = Only show navigation element on mouse hover
• Hide Under Width: Disable navigation element below a certain screen width. For example, thumbnails look great on desktop, but are often better hidden on smaller screens.
• Hide Over Width: Disable navigation element above a certain screen width.

  Combining these two options is particularly useful for switching between two different navigation types depending on the screen size:
  Tabs -> Hide Below Width -> 850px
  Bullets -> Hide Over Width -> 850px
  RESULT:
  Tabs will be shown above 850px screen size (desktop)
  Bullets will be shown below 850px screen size (mobile)
  

• Position: Horizontal Align / Horizontal Offset/ Vertical Align / Vertical Offset:

  +Horizontal Align: Align navigation to the left, right or center of the slider.

  +Horizontal Offset:Apply a left/right margin to the navigation in relation to its horizontal alignment (positive and negative numbers supported).

  +Vertical Align: Align navigation to the top, bottom or middle of the slider.

  +Vertical Offset: Apply a top/bottom margin to the navigation in relation to its vertical alignment (positive and negative numbers supported).

Enable Bullets / Bullet Style: Choose to enable/disable navigation arrows, and if enabled, choose between 15 different pre-built styles.

• Space / Direction: Set the spacing between the bullets in pixels, and choose if the bullets should be displayed horizontally (bullets displayed side by side) or vertically (bullets placed on top of one another) .
• Visibility, Position: See "Common Navigation Options" above.

• Wrapping Container:

  +Wrapper Padding: Space between edge of slider and edge of thumbs/tabs container.

  +Span Wrapper: "ON": thumbs/tabs will always be stretched across the full size of the slider. "OFF": thumbs/tabs will be stretched to the slider’s Layers Grid.

  +Wrapper Color / Opacity: Adjust the color and opacity of the tab/thumbs section. Will only be visible if either “Space” or “Wrapper Padding” exists.

• Style, Visible Amount, Space & Direction:

  +Style: Choose between 7 different pre-built styles.

  +Visible Amount: The amount of thumbs or tabs that will be visibly shown. For example, if you have 7 slides, but only want 3 thumbnails to be displayed, technically the thumb strip will still contain 7 items, but only 3 thumbs will be visible at any given time, and the additional thumbs will only be shown on mouse-movement.

  +Space / Direction: Set the spacing between the tabs/thumbs in pixels, and choose if the they should be displayed horizontally (side by side) or vertically (placed on top of one another) .

• Width, Height, Min. Width: Set the tab/thumb width and height. The width will act as a “Max Width”, and the “Height” will resize proportionally.
  For example, let’s say the slider itself was resized down by 50% for mobile. If the thumb width/height were set to 100×50, the thumb size would also be resized down by 50%, and the new thumb width/height would be 50×25.
  However, this is where the “Min Width” value is useful. For example, let’s say the thumb width/height were set to 100×50. If the “Min Width” were also set to “100px”, the thumbnails would never resize down.
• Visibility, Position: See "Common Navigation Options above".

Touch Enabled: Choose to enable/disable touch navigation for mobile. If enabled, swiping the slider left or right with your finger will change slides back and forth.

• Drag Block Vertical: Allow for the page to be scrolled vertically when “touch” is enabled. For example, when “ON” is applied, “swiping” the slider in a vertical direction will also scroll the page itself. But when set to “OFF”, the page itself will not be scrolled when swiping the slider in a vertical direction.
• Swipe Threshold, Min. Finger:

  +Threshold: The swipe action sensitivity. A smaller number would mean that only a short “swipe” is needed for the slide to change. A larger number would mean that a more elaborate “swipe” would need to take place for the slide to change.

  +Min. Finger: The number of fingers needed for a “swipe” action to be registered. “1” finger is usually best, as that’s what most users are used to, but depending on your site you can require that users use two fingers to “swipe”, etc.

• Swipe Direction:

  +Horizontal: Traditional left-to-right touch-swipe navigation.

  +Vertical: Useful for when your slide animations are set to “Slide Vertical (Next/Previous)”. In this case, swiping up or down would change the slides.

• Keyboard Navigation: Choose to enable arrow keys to navigate between slides.
• Key Direction:

  +Vertical: Up and down keys will act as “next / previous” controls for the slider.

  +Horizontal: Left and right keys will act as “next / previous” controls for the slider.

• Mouse Scroll Direction: Capture mouse-wheel movement to change between slides.

Parallax can be used to apply movement to slide content based on mouse or scrolling.

• Enable Parallax / Disable on Mobile: Choose to enable the parallax effect for the slider, and if enabled, choose to disable the effect for mobile only (since parallax is based on mouse movement and page scrolling, parallax usually works best on desktop computers).
• Mouse Sensibility:

  +Event:: Choose “Mouse Move”, “Scroll Position” (page scrolling) or “Move & Scroll” (first two combined).

  +Parallax Origin: “Mouse Enter Point” – Parallax is based on where the mouse first entered the slider.
  “Slider Center” – Parallax is always based on the very center point of the slider (usually the best option).

  +Animation Speed: The transition duration for the content’s movement. Use a lower number such as “750” for fast movement, and a higher number such as “2000” for smoother motion.

• Parallax Levels: Each individual layer can be assigned a “Parallax Level”. And you can define up to ten different “levels”.
  Applying different levels to different slide layers is what gives the content its “depth” in relation to other parallax layers. In this example, you’ll notice that some content layers have less movement than others. This is because the different layers have different “Parallax Levels” assigned.
  When choosing your parallax level values, a smaller number would mean less movement, and a higher number would allow for a larger amount of movement.

For compatibility with older mobile devices and legacy IE, you can choose to simplify the slider’s functionality or replace it with an alternative image.

• Simplify on iOS4/IE8: Animations will be set to simple “fade” for older iOS and IE, which will will dramatically improve performance for these environments.
• Use Alternative Image: Choose to use an alternative image in place of the slider for mobile devices, IE8, or both. When an alternative image is used, enter the image’s absolute url into the “Alternative Image” field.

Use the troubleshooting options to solve common conflicts with other plugins and themes.

• jQuery No Conflict Mode: Using jQuery noConflict is considered best practice for WordPress, and Slider Revolution uses this by default. But sometimes another theme or plugin may not be built using this best practice, which can often cause a conflict. In these cases, setting this option to “OFF” can sometimes resolve this issue.
• Put JS Includes to Body: Often solves conflicts with “minify” plugins and also certain themes that don’t call “wp_head()” properly.
• Output Filters Protection: Sometimes a theme runs special filters over the page’s content (against WP best practices), which results in breaking the slider’s HTML markup (if you view the slider’s HTML source in your browser, you’ll often find “

  ” tags injected throughout the slider’s markup).
  The “Output Filters Protection” option will attempt to combat this conflict. “By Echo Output” will often place the slider above all other content on the page, which is fine for sliders that are originally placed above the other page’s content to begin with, but when the slider is meant to be shown below other page content, “By Compressing Output” is best.

• Debug Mode: Adds visual debug information when testing the frontend version of the slider.

Chances are your theme is already loading Google Fonts that you can use for your slider’s text, but you can also load whatever new Google Fonts you want for your sliders.
To get started, click the Add New Font button.

• Next, visit the Google Fonts website and choose a font you wish to use. Then click the Quick Use icon.
• Then copy the font slug from the url as shown in the following screenshot (after the “font=” part, and without the single quote character).
• Then paste the Google Font slug into the slider’s Add New Font field.
• And now the Google Font will be available for your slider’s Layer text.

Create a new slide:

• To create a new slide, hover your mouse over the Add Slide box and then choose one of the options listed below:

Add Blank Slide: Create a new slide with default settings.

Add Bulk Slides: Create multiple slides at once, based on a selection of media gallery images of your choice. And a new slide will be created for each image you’ve chosen, with the selected image set as the slide’s main background image.

• Click the Change Image button to select an image you’ve already uploaded, or to upload a new image for the slide.

• Select Slide Image from Upload File or Media Library then click Insert

• Click on Save Slide to finish.

Add Slider To Page

I’ve created a slider, but how do I add it to my page?

1. The Shortcode Method
• From the WordPress menu, select Pages and then Edit for the page you want to add the slider to. Then follow the steps are shown in the screenshot below:
• For example, if you want to edit Cart page:





• Select your Slider from the Dropdown Box. After selecting your Slider, the Shortcode will automatically appear inside the editor.







2. With Visual Composer
• If you happen to have Visual Composer installed, Revolution Slider can be added from one of Visual Composer’s content options.
• Follow the steps are shown in the screenshots below:



• Click Add element button.

3. The Widget Method

Your theme will have to support widgets in order for this to work. Often widgets are reserved for “Sidebar” content, but your theme may also use widgets for predefined areas of a page, such as “Homepage Slider”. To use the widget method, from the WordPress main menu, hover your mouse over the “Appearance” menu item and then select “Widgets”. In your list of “Available Widgets”, you’ll see one of the options is “Revolution Slider” as shown in the screenshots below:

WooCommerce Pages

Upon installation, WooCommerce creates the following new pages:

• Shop
• Cart
• Checkout
• My Account

Install Missing Pages

I do not mean to remove pages of WooCommerce, but I did. Now what should I do to reinstall those pages?

If I remove one or more pages of WooCommerce for some reasons, but now I want to restore them, what I need to do is:

• Go to WooCommerce > System Status > Tools > Install Pages
• Click Save Changes

It is so easy, isn't it?

Add New Product

Adding a simple product

• Enter Title - name of new product (1) and give description of product.

Product Data

Simple Product

1. General tab

• SKU – stock keep unit, used to track products. Must be unique, and should be named so it does not clash with post IDs.
• Regular Price – Item’s main price.
• Sale Price – Item’s sale price.

2. Inventory tab

The inventory tab allows you to manage stock for the product individually and define whether to allow back orders. If stock management is disabled from the settings page, only the ‘stock status’ option will be visible.

3. Shipping tab

• Weight – Weight of the item.
• Dimensions – Length, width, and height for the item.
• Shipping Class – Shipping classes are used by certain shipping methods to group similar products.

4. Linked Products tab

Using up-sells and cross-sells you can cross promote your products with one another. They can be added by searching for a particular product and selecting the product from the dropdown list:

• Up-sells are displayed on the product details page. These are products that you may wish to encourage users to upgrade, based on the product they are currently viewing. For example, if the user is viewing the coffee product listing page, you may want to display tea kettles on that same page as an up-sell.

• Cross-sells are products that are displayed with the cart and related to the user’s cart contents. As an example, if the user adds a Nintendo DS to their cart, you may want to suggest they purchase spare Styluses when the arrive at the cart page.
• Grouping – Set this option to make a product part of a grouped product.



5. Attributes tab

On the attributes tab, you can assign attributes to a product. You will see a select box containing global attribute sets you created (e.g., platform).

Once you have chosen an attribute from the select box, click add and you can apply the terms attached to that attribute (e.g., Nintendo DS) to the product. You can hide the attribute on the frontend by leaving the Visible checkbox unticked.

Custom attributes can also be applied by choosing ‘Custom product attribute’ from the select box. These are added at the product level and won’t be available in the layered navigation.



6. Advanced tab

• Purchase note – Enter an optional note to send the customer after purchase.
• Menu order – Custom ordering position for this item.
• Enable Reviews – Enable/Disable customers reviews for this item.



On the right hand side of the Add New Product panel, there are product categories in which you can place your product, similar to a standard WordPress post. You can also assign product tags in the same manner.



• Set Product image & Product Gallery



• You may click Save Draft or Preview before clicking Publish to finish.



Variable product

Variable products are a product type in WooCommerce that lets you offer a set of variations on a product, with control over prices, stock, image and more for each variation. They can be used for a product like a shirt, where you can offer a large, medium and small and in different colors.

1. Adding attributes for variations

To add a variable product, either edit an existing product or create a new one.

1. Go to: Products > Products.
2. Select the Add Product button or Edit an existing product.



3. Once in a product, select Variable product from the Product Data dropdown.



4. In the Attributes section, add attributes before creating variations — use global attributes or define custom ones specific to each product.
• To use a global attribute, select it from the dropdown and then Add. Make sure to select the Select all button to add all of attributes to the variable product, and select the Used for variations checkbox to tell WooCommerce it’s for your variations:





• If adding new attributes, select Custom product attribute then Add.



5. Name the attribute, e.g., Size.
6. Set values separated by a vertical pipe, e.g., small | medium | large.
7. Select the Used for variations checkbox to use in the Variations section.
8. Save attributes.



2. Add variations

To add a variation, go to the Variation section in the Product Data meta box.

Manually Adding a Variation

Select Add variation from the dropdown menu, and click Go



Select attributes for your variation. To change additional data, click the triangle icon to expand the variation.



Edit any of the available data. The only required field is Regular Price

Editing Many Variations

If you have more than 10 variations, use the buttons to navigate forward and backward through the list. Each time you navigate to a new set of variations, the previous set are saved. This ensures that all data is saved.

Setting Defaults

We recommend setting defaults you prefer on the variations. In the example, we have no defaults set, so users can pick any color and size right away from the product page.



If you want a certain variation already selected when a user visits the product page, you can set those. This also enables the Add to Cart button to appear automatically on variable product pages.

You can only set defaults after at least one variation has been created.

Variation Data

Each variation may be assigned:

• An image – Select the placeholder icon to see the image uploader. After you choose an image, select Set Variation Image.
• SKU – If you use SKUs, set the SKU or leave blank to use the product’s SKU.
• Enabled – Enable or disable the variation.
• Downloadable – If this a downloadable variation.
• Virtual – If this product isn’t physical or shipped, shipping settings are removed.
• Manage Stock – Manage stock at the variation level.
• Stock quantity – Stock for the specific variation, or left blank to use the product’s stock settings.
• Regular Price (required) – Set the price for this variation.
• Sale Price (optional) – Set a price for this variation when on sale.
• Stock Qty – Shows if Manage Stock is selected. Input the quantity.
• Allow Backorders – Choose how to handle backorders.
• Stock Status – Set the status of your variation’s stock.
• Weight – Weight for the variation, or left blank to use the product’s weight.
• Dimensions – Height, width and length for the variation, or left blank to use the product’s dimensions.
• Shipping class – Shipping class can affect shipping. Set this if it differs from the product.
• Tax class – Tax class for this variation. Useful if you are offering variations spanning different tax bands.
• Downloadable Files – Shows if Downloadable is selected. Add file(s) for customers to download.
• Download Limit – Shows if Downloadable is selected. Set how many times a customer can download the file(s). Leave blank for unlimited.
• Download Expiry – Shows if Downloadable is selected. Set the number of days before a download expires after purchase.

If the SKU, weight, dimensions and stock fields are not set, then it inherits values assigned to the variable product. Price fields must be set per variation.

Add an image for the variation
1. Expand the variation.
2. Click the blue image placeholder (screenshot).
3. Select the image you wish to use.
4. Save.



3. Bulk editing

You can bulk-edit variations by selecting the specific piece of data you want from the dropdown. In this example, I want to edit prices for all variations.



4. Linking possible variations

Note: You can select Create variations from all attributes to have WooCommerce create every possible combination of variations.



If your example had two attributes – color (with values blue and green) and size (with values large and small), it creates the following variations:

• Large Blue
• Large Green
• Small Blue
• Small Green

Woo-Settings

On this page we’re going to walk through all the settings available to you in WooCommerce. You’ll find information about General WooCommerce settings as well as Product, Tax, Checkout, Shipping, Accounts, Email, and Webhooks settings.

To configuring your shop go to WooCommerce > Settings. Then walk through the documentation below in each section to get information on every setting.

1. General Settings

This defines your shops base country and state (i.e. where you are based as a seller). It determines default tax rates and customer locations.

Here is where we have some simple and basic settings for every store.

This defines your shops base country and state (i.e. where you are based as a seller). It determines default tax rates and customer locations.

Select if you would like to sell to all countries or to specific countries. You can choose multiple specific countries or states.

When a guest initially visits your store we don’t know their location when calculating taxes and shipping; this setting lets you choose the location we assume they are in, before they enter it.

• Shop base address: will let the system assume they are in the same location as your shop.
• No address: will give them no location – taxes won’t be calculated.
• Geolocate address: will verify where they are currently located and calculate taxes accordingly.

Enable site-wide store notice text by selecting the checkbox then editing your message below. This message will show up across the top of your site and can be stylized with CSS to fit your theme. For example, adding the following to your custom CSS will make the background of the Store Notice white:

Chose to enable the REST API. This API is aimed at developers to use. You can enable it to access your store data from outside of WordPress, for example from our iOS app or other external apps.

The following options affect how prices are displayed on the front-end.

Choose the default currency of the store. Only one default currency may be selected.

Chose the default currency position for your prices: Left, Right, Left/Right with space.

Chose the symbol to use for the thousand separator: ex. 1,000.

Chose the symbol to use for the decimal separator: ex. 100.00.

Chose how many numbers to display to the right of the decimal when displaying prices. ex. 2 = 100.00.

2. Products

+Only show stock when low – eg. “Only 2 left in stock” vs. “In stock”.

+Never show stock amount.

2.4 Downloadable Products



File Download Method

This option controls how your store will serve downloadable files to purchasers. Options include:

• Force Downloads – Files are ‘forced’ to download via a PHP script. The files shouldn’t be accessible to anyone but purchasers and direct links are hidden.
• X-Accel-Redirect/X-Sendfile – This is similar to ‘forced’ above, however it has much better performance and can support larger files. This option requires that your hosting provider supports either X-Sendfile or X-Accel-Redirect so you will need to check with them first.
• Redirect only – Download links simply link the user to the file. Files are not protected from outside access.

Most stores will want to use one of the top 2 methods as these keep your files safe from outside access. Redirect should only be used if you encounter problems or don’t mind downloads being insecure.

Access Restriction

Options include:

• Select if downloads require login – This setting does not apply to guest purchases.
• Grant access to downloadable products after payment – Enable this option to grant access to downloads when orders are “processing”, rather than “completed”.

3. Tax



Taxes are complex enough to warrant their own separate section explaining how to set them up and how they work.

3.1 Tax Options

The tax tab displays several options that you can configure to suit your needs – settings you choose will be based on the tax jurisdiction under which your store is located.

Enable taxes

Define whether to enable taxes and tax calculations. If taxes are disabled, ignore the rest of the options on the page as they will have no effect.

Prices Entered With Tax

This option is perhaps the most important option when managing taxes in your store, as it determines how you input product prices later on.

“Yes, I will enter prices inclusive of tax” means that all catalog prices are input using your store’s base tax rate.

For example, in the UK you would input prices inclusive of the 20% tax rate e.g. You enter a product price of £9.99 that includes £1.67 tax. A customer in the UK would pay £9.99 as defined, and a customer in the US would only pay £8.32.

“No, I will enter prices exclusive of tax” would mean that your catalog prices need to be tax exclusive.

Using the example from above, a UK shop would enter 8.32 at the product price. A tax of 20% would be applied on top of this during checkout making the amount payable £9.99.

The tax calculation for tax-inclusive prices is:

tax_amount = price - ( price / ( ( tax_rate_% / 100 ) + 1 ) )

The tax calculation for tax-exclusive prices is:

tax_amount = price * ( tax_rate_% / 100 ) Calculate Tax Based On…

Choose between:

• Customer billing address
• Customer shipping address (default), which is found under the General tab
• Store base address
Shipping Tax Class

In most setups, shipping tax class is inherited from the item being shipped, i.e., shipping a reduced rate item like baby clothes would also use a reduced rate.

If this is not the case in your jurisdiction, choose a different tax class.

Round tax at subtotal level, instead of per line

If rounding is done last in your tax jurisdiction (when the subtotal is calculated), enable this option.

Additional Tax Classes

Tax Classes are assigned to your products. In most cases, you want to use the default “standard” class. If you sell goods that require a different tax class (i.e., Tax, except zero-rated products) you can add the classes here. To get started, we include Standard, Reduced Rate and Zero Rate tax classes.

Each class is listed at the top of the tax settings page – click a class to view tax rates assigned to the class.

Display prices during cart/checkout

This option determines how prices are displayed in your cart and checkout pages – it works independently of your catalog prices. Choose from inclusive/exclusive tax display.

*Note that the address field needs to be filled in to get tax calculations if you have a tax table that distinguishes between locations.

Setting up Tax Rates

Tax classes are displayed at the top of the tax screen – click one to view tax rates for the class.

You will see the tax rates table. Here you can define tax rates (1 per row). Click Insert Row to get started.

Each tax rate has these attributes:

• Country Code – 2 digit country code for the rate. Use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes. Leave blank (*) to apply to all countries.
• State Code – 2 digit state code for the rate. See i18n/states/COUNTRYCODE.php for supported states. For the US, use a 2 digit abbreviation e.g. AL. Leave blank (*) to apply to all states.
• ZIP/Postcode – Enter postcodes for the rate. You may separate multiple values with a semi-colon (;), use wildcards to match several postcodes (e.g. PE* would match all postcodes starting with PE), and use numeric ranges (e.g. 2000-3000). Leave blank (*) to apply to all postcodes.
• City – Semi-colon separated list of cities for the rate. Leave blank (*) to apply to all cities.
• Rate % – Enter the tax rate, for example, 20.000 for a tax rate of 20%.
• Tax Name – Name your tax, e.g. VAT
• Priority – Choose a priority for this tax rate. Only 1 matching rate per priority will be used. To define multiple tax rates for a single area you need to specify a different priority per rate.
• Compound – If this rate is compound (applied on top of all prior taxes) check this box.
• Shipping – If this rate also applies to shipping, check this box.

Woo-Shortcodes

WooCommerce comes with several shortcodes that can be used to insert content inside posts and pages. The following shortcodes are inserted into pages upon installation and should not need to be used anywhere else.

• [woocommerce_cart] – shows the cart page
• [woocommerce_checkout] – shows the checkout page
• [woocommerce_order_tracking] – shows the order tracking form
• [woocommerce_my_account] – shows the user account page

Woo-Widgets

There are several great widgets bundled into WooCommerce which allow you to display all sorts of information in your theme’s widgetized areas. These could be normal sidebars, footers, header areas, homepage, etc…

Here are the included widgets:

• WooCommerce Cart - Displays the shopping cart contents and links to the cart / checkout
• WooCommerce Layered Nav - Allows the user to refine products based on attributes
• WooCommerce Layered Nav Filters - Shows active layered nav filters so users can see and deactivate them.
• WooCommerce Price Filter - Allow the user to refine products based on price on product category pages
• WooCommerce Product Categories - Display product categories in list format
• WooCommerce Products - This includes view for All Products, Featured Products, and On-Sale Products.
• WooCommerce Product Search - Search products only
• WooCommerce Product Tags - Display product tags in tag cloud format
• WooCommerce Recently Viewed - Display a list of products the customer has recently viewed
• WooCommerce Recent Reviews - List recent customer reviewed products with ratings
• WooCommerce Top Rated Products - Display a list of top rated products

There are a few widgets we’d like to highlight below.

WooCommerce Products

In WooCommerce 2.1, we merged what was three separate widgets into one. With this new WooCommerce Products widget you can set three different initial options. You can show All Products, your Featured Products, or only On-Sale Products. In addition you can set a title for the widget, the number of products to show, and order them in different ways.

Here are a few example setups, you can set this widget to show your most recent products if you show All Products, Order by Date, and Order DESC. You could also show 10 random featured products if you put Number of products to show at 10, then show Featured Products, and then Order by Random. There are plenty of combination options with this one widget.

Price Filter Widget

The price filter widget allows customers to refine products by price by dragging the sliders within the widget to create a price range based on the products displayed on the page.

To use the widget simply drag it to your widgetised region as you would any other widget. It will automatically detect the minimum and maximum prices on the current page to populate the slider.

Layered Navigation Widget

Layered Navigation is a powerful widget which empowers your users to drill down through your catalog of products via attributes, effectively helping them find what they’re looking for quicker.

Add the widget to your widgetised region as you would any other. Then choose an attribute to filter by and choose whether you want users to be able to filter by “AND” or “OR” query types.

• AND – If a user selects two attributes, only products with match both attributes will be returned
• OR – If a user selects two attributes, products which match either attribute will be returned

THE BIGGER THE IMAGE, THE MORE PERSUADED THE CLIENT

We know it well: we need to observe with our own eyes to understand the importance of a product. But how can we do it when we purchase online? We want to have guarantees, our hard look wants to be satisfied and using quality images to zoom in can be very helpful. It could be even better if these images represent the object from different viewpoints: actually, recent studies have proved that observing an object form different perspectives could convert up to the 27% more! And YITH WooCommerce Zoom Magnifier includes this feature too, with a convenient carousel of images under the main frame.

Moreover, the zoom window lets users read the information of the product together with the freedom to look at the details, creating a better idea of what they will buy. And for the most demanding users, the image can also be opened in its actual size, giving them all the time they need to analyze what they desire. Therefore, whether your users look at your products from PC or mobile devices (where you can also deactivate the zoom window because of the space limitations), they can only admire them in their compete quality!

• The Magnifier settings page. Choose the size of the zoom area, the size of the image to be shown in zoom area and the its position (on the right or over the image).

• The slider settings page. You can choose to use the slider for product image thumbnails, set how many images to show within the slider, and the behavior of the slider, choosing if circular, infinite or standard carousel.

• Enter text contents. You also can insert Read More tag.

• A summary or brief teaser of your post featured on the front page of your site as well as on the category, archives, and search non-single post pages. Note that the Excerpt does not usually appear by default. It only appears in your post if you have modified the template file listing the post to use the_excerpt() instead of the_content() to display the Excerpt instead of the full content of a post. If so, WordPress will automatically use as the Excerpt the first 55 words of your post content or the content before the !--more--quicktag. If you use the "Excerpt" field when editing the post, this will be used no matter what.

• Post Formats is a theme feature introduced with Version 3.1. A Post Format is a piece of meta information that can be used by a theme to customize its presentation of a post. The Post Formats feature provides a standardized list of formats that are available to all themes that support the feature. Themes are not required to support every format on the list. New formats cannot be introduced by themes or even plugins. The standardization of this list provides both compatibility between numerous themes and an avenue for external blogging tools to access this feature in a consistent fashion. In short, with a theme that supports Post Formats, a blogger can change how each post looks by choosing a Post Format from a radio-button list.

Here are some general guidelines:

- Standard: is the default post format, your everyday blog post. You can also add video, images, galleries, and whatever else you would like to a regular text post.

- Aside: A note like post, usually styled without title.

- Image: An image or photograph

- Video: A single video or video playlist. The first video tag or object/embed in the post content could be considered the video. Alternatively, if the post consists only of a URL, that will be the video URL. May also contain the video as an attachment to the post, if video support is enabled on the blog (like via a plugin).

- Audio: An audio file or playlist. Could be used for Podcasting.

- Quote: A quotation. Probably will contain a blockquote holding the quote content. Alternatively, the quote may be just the content, with the source/author being the title.

- Link: A link to another site. Themes may wish to use the first a href=”” tag in the post content as the external link for that post. An alternative approach could be if the post consists only of a URL, then that will be the URL and the title (post_title) will be the name attached to the anchor for it.

- Gallery: A gallery of images. Post will likely contain a gallery shortcode and will have image attachments.

- Status: Twitter like short status update.

• Select or Add New CategoryThe general topic the post can be classified in. Generally, bloggers have 7-10 categories for their content. Readers can browse specific categories to see all posts in the category. To add a new category, click the "+Add New Category" link in this section. You can manage your categories by going to Administration Panels > Posts > Categories.
• You may Add Tag for your post. Post Tag refers to micro-categories for your blog, similar to including index entries for a page. Posts with similar tags are linked together when a user clicks one of the tags. Tags have to be enabled with the right code in your theme for them to appear in your post. Add new tags to the post by typing the tag into the box and clicking "Add".

• Provide the featured image. The image should have minimum width of 670px and minimum height of 500px.

• You may click Save Draft or Preview before clicking Publish to finish.

• Go to WordPress Admin > Pages > Add New.

• Enter title page

• The Page Attributes module (in WP Admin) allows you to set Page Parents and Templates, and to change the Order of your pages.

• You can arrange your pages in hierarchies.

• Some themes have additional templates that you can use to create pages with additional features or custom layouts. You can see if your current theme has any additional templates by checking the Template section of the Page Attributes module. The most common templates are for archives, links, and contact pages.

• You can change the order that your pages are displayed in by using the Order field of the Page Attributes module.



For example, if you wanted About to appear first, you’d need to do the following:




- Go to Pages -> All Pages in your dashboard.

- Locate the Page Attributes module to the right of the editor.




- Put the number 1 in the box for Order. This tells WordPress to display this page first on your blog.

• The import uses a JSON file which is loaded from the frontend of the website, this will not work when the domain is not connected to the wordpress installation.

Recommended PHP Configuration Limits

If the import stalls and fails to respond after a few minutes, or it fails with a simple error message like “Import failed,” You are suffering from PHP configuration limits that are set too low to complete the process. You should contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:

• max_execution_time 180
• memory_limit 128M
• post_max_size 32M
• upload_max_filesize 32M

How To Verify Your Current PHP Limits

You can verify your PHP configuration limits by installing a simple plugin found here. In addition, you can always contact your host and ask them what the current settings are and have them adjust them if needed. Please note though that many hosts will try to keep the PHP limits low without reason. However you are paying for it, and therefor should be getting your moneys worth.

User Reported Fixes (may or may not work, worth a shot):

2. How to update Theme without Losing Customization

It's highly recommended to update the theme (you'll have more features and it's FREE ;))

This Video Tutorial will show you how to update Theme without Losing Customization:

If you don’t like the video or need more instructions, then continue reading.

• First thing you need to do is connect to your website using an FTP client.
• Go to /wp-content/themes/ and download your theme folder to your computer.
• Sign in to Themeforest and download the latest release of theme.
• Locate theme’s zip file on your computer and extract it.

You should now have both, new version of the theme and your old customized theme on your computer. If you remember the changes you made to your theme, then simply copy and paste the code snippets from old theme to the new version.

On the other hand, if you do not remember the changes you made, then you will have to find them first.

• After copying your changes to the new theme, you need to upload the new theme directory to WordPress using FTP.

5. I am locked out of wp-admin, and my website shows a blank white screen

This most likely happens when you paste a code from a website with wrong formats. Sometimes the formatting error is done on the website where the code is available however most of the time, this error happens because you pasted the code on the wrong location. Unfortunately, you will not be able to make the edits using your wp-admin section. You will have to use FTP to login to your web host and modify your theme’s file.

Consider following our Beginner’s Guide to Pasting Code from the Web into WordPress.

6. My Facebook Like Button does not show the right title or image

This is NOT a WordPress issue. It is because Facebook’s script cannot properly detect the information from your website. However, there are WordPress plugins that allows for a seamless integration with Facebook which will get rid of this plugin. Consider installing and activating Simple Facebook Connect plugin. You do not have to configure it or anything. Alternatively, you should be using WordPress SEO plugin, and it has a built-in Social feature that will solve this issue.

7. My site loads slow, How can I speed it up?

There are several things you can do to speed up your website. First thing you need to do is consider adding a caching plugin to WordPress. We use and recommend W3 Total Cache. Another thing you can do is use a Content Delivery Network provider. We use and recommend MaxCDN (See our infographic about What is a CDN and Why you need it). You should also consider using a better web hosting provider. Shared hosts are usually slower. If you are receiving a lot of traffic, then you should consider moving to a VPS or a Dedicated server. Last but not least, check out our presentation about Maximizing Performance and Speeding up WordPress.

Mostly this happens when you paste a wrong code in your website from some source. Often it happens when the formatting code is not properly done and you paste it into your website.

This all makes the screen blank and you are not able to even open the wp-admin section. Your website will also not open – only blank white page appears. To solve this trouble, you have to login into your hosting control panel and delete the wrong code or plugin.

14. How to boost speed?

Boosting speed is quite a common question most bloggers and site builders have in mind. There are plenty of ways using which you can boost the speed of your website.

The shared holders tend to be slightly slower than the rest. If you have been getting a whole lot of traffic, then you must know that getting a VPS or even like a dedicated server would be good. You can consider one.

15. 500 Internal Server Error

If you just installed WordPress, a WordPress plugin, or a theme for your site and out of nowhere your site returns a 500 Internal Server Error, please read the information below.

If you have been surfing the web for any length of time you have probably encountered a 500 internal server error. These errors are not confined to WordPress. They are generic errors that report very little on what the actual cause is. First, don’t panic. Lot’s of people have been confronted with these errors, and they can be fixed. In fact, I fix them all the time.

There are five major reasons why these errors occur in WordPress:

• Incorrect web server configuration
• Incorrect folder/file permissions
• Corrupt files or files that contain errors in code
• PHP memory limits set too low
• Conflicting third party plugins

1. Incorrect web server configuration – If your web server (whether it be Apache or IIS) is configured with incorrect directives, they can cause 500 errors to occur. The problem is that web hosting support will often blame the error on software you have installed without even checking to see what is contained in their error logs. Just know that after you have checked the following remaining causes, and they fail to resolve the issue, you will need to (sometimes forcefully) get your web host to help diagnose and fix the problem.

2. Incorrect file permissions – With very few exceptions, file permission for WordPress, plugins, and themes need to be set at 755 for folders, and 644 for files. You may think that setting permissions more loosely, like 777, will relieve the problem, but you would be wrong. Setting permissions either too strict or too loose often cause this and other errors.

3. Corrupt files or files that contain errors in code – – Usually improper/errors in file transfers to the web server cause corruption to occur. It may look like the file is sitting there just fine, but something in the process caused the file to be unusable by the server. For example, if you uploaded a text file in binary language instead of ascii it will render the file unreadable by the web server. Coding errors can also create this error, whether that be in WordPress, a plugin, or a theme.

• Often, the only way to resolve an error in WordPress core is to reinstall WordPress.
• If it is plugin related, deactivating all plugins will relieve the error.
• If it is theme related, deleting and reinstalling the theme will often take care of the problem.

By far the most common 500 error produced by a file is related to the WordPress .htaccess file. The .htaccess file is primarily designed to be used with custom permalink structures. But it is also used by some third party plugins, and for overriding certain server configuration directives if allowed. If it contains errors, it can return the dreaded 500 internal server error. The .htaccess file is located in the root folder of your WordPress installation (not the theme).

• log into your site via FTP (Filezilla, etc.)
• download a copy of your .htaccess file, rename the copy e.g. “.htaccess-backup”
• delete the .htaccess file residing on your Web server
• create a new blank file called “.htaccess” on your PC/laptop/Mac
• upload this new file to your Web server in the same place as the original .htaccess (which you deleted)
• navigate to your WordPress admin URL, e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-admin, and you should now be able to log in!
• finally, once logged in, navigate to the Permalinks settings page in the admin console and do nothing further. Simply going to the settings page should enable WordPress to write the correct .htaccess declarations itself.

You should now be able to nagivate to www.yoursite.com or http://www.yoursite.com/wordpress (depending on whether WordPress is running your entire site or just a blog etc.) and all should be well once more.

4. PHP memory limits set too low, There two ways to solve this problem.

• You can either get your web host to increase your PHP limits.
• You can upload your theme via an FTP client. We offer a video tutorial located in the Video section of the forum that explains how to use FTP to install your theme.

5. Conflicting Third Party Plugins Should Be Deactivated

• If you can access the admin area of your site, login to your admin section and deactivate all plugins. After doing so, check your front end page again. If it loads without error, you have a plugin conflict. Now, start activating each plugin one by one. When you see the 500 error again on the front end pages, you will know that the last plugin you activated is the likely culprit. Deactivate it and continue checking all remaining plugins one by one to make sure there are no others.
• If you are getting the 500 error on the front end and the back end admin area, then you will need to access your site via an FTP client. A little known trick is to change the name of your/wp-content/pluginsfolder to something else temporarily like “plugins.bak.” This will make WordPress ignore your plugins. Then check to see if this resolves the problem. If it does, log into your admin section and then change your plugin.bak folder back to plugins . Then deactivate all of your plugins via your admin page.

Recommended PHP configuration limits are as follows:

• max_execution_time 600
• memory_limit 128M
• post_max_size 32M
• upload_max_filesize 32M

You can verify your PHP configuration limits by installing a simple plugin found here. If you still cannot resolve the 500 error, talk with your web hosting support.
