I won’t go into a big tutorial on how to install and setup WooCommerce, as I will leave that to you to reference their own documentation. This tutorial is setup to show how to enable this theme’s WooCommerce styles and other elements like sidebars. I will also assume that you have WooCommerce already installed and setup before you begin theme customization.
Setup Influential
Typography font management
One of the most complicated things when creating a website, is typography management (font management) because of the vast array of font attributes involved like:
Create a Contact page like the demo
- WP Google Maps - generate maps
- Contact Form 7 - a very popular forms plugin
Install Your Plugins
Create Buttons
This tutorial will guide you through the creation of buttons like you see on the live demo site:
Create tables with custom styling
Tables are not always pleasant to look at, but with the Influential theme, I’ve given you some table styling enhancements that you can use to spice up your tables with a few custom styles.
Create page dividers
If you need to separate elements in your page or post content, you would normally use a “Horizontal Rule” which is usually found on the editor (depending on the editor of course). This is usually a simple line that is placed between two paragraphs, images, or any other elements in a page. You can see the demo for this theme’s dividers here:
Setup Breadcrumb navigation
Influential includes a sidebar that is special for those who want to run their site with breadcrumb navigation. This tutorial will help you get this setup. Normally I recommend using the popular Breadcrumb NavXT plugin, but you can use any plugin you want, but I would look for one that has a widget you can use in the theme’s “Breadcrumbs” sidebar position. This makes it easier than opening a theme file to modify it with code that some plugins instruct.
Create an Image or Team Box
With this tutorial, we are going to create something like this:
Create Icon Boxes
Icon Boxes give you a nice enhancement to any page, especially when you have a large variety of icons you can use from Font Awesome. Not only can you create an icon box, you can also customize it with colour, size, and content.
An introduction to Sidebar positions for Influential
This theme packs a lot of sidebar positions; currently at 57 sidebars in total. Influential does not have all of them activated, so the purpose of this introduction is to show you how the sidebars work in this theme. To show you a layout of theme sidebars, you can visit the demo site:
