Install theme for online store based on WordPress

Previous post I already explain about wordpress installation locally that supported by domain (winhows.net) and also email support (user@winhows.net). All installed offline, no need internet connection to make it work.

I will continue with next step that I call :

Cosmetic Session

Default wordpress theme

Great, our blog installed smoothly and the result would be like this picture :

Of course this theme isn’t recommended for an online store. We need more sophisticated theme and after search for free theme I stumble upon a theme called SimpleCart(js).

We’re going to use SimpleCart(js) as our theme.

Preparation

Download these files :

1. Wp Ecommerce (get latest version)

save the file and extract to C:\wamp\www\wp-content\plugins

after extract you’ll see like this in plugins folder :

2. SimpleCart 0.6

3. SimpleCart(js) Theme

4. Themematic

Extract Theme

extract SimpleCart 0.6 and Thematic to :

C:\wamp\www\wp-content\themes

Followed by extract SimpleCart(js) Theme to :

C:\wamp\www\wp-content\plugins\wp-e-commerce\themes

Activate the Theme

To activate the theme follow these steps :

1. Login to administration page

Enter username and password generated in previous step (install wordpress at home)

2. Click Plugins link and click link ‘Activate’ in WP Shopping Cart.

message ‘plugin activated’ should dislayed.

3. Click link “appearance” in administrator menu.

click Activate to activate the theme.

4. Check to see the theme by open :
