The FREE WordPress E-Commerce Style Theme is Here!

Written By Ben Johnson on 14 March 2009 10 People Commented

phpbaytemplateOkay, I now have the WordPress E-Commerce style template ready for download, I am currently working on adding more color variations to the mix but at present it is available in a caramel color. You can see a working demo of the theme right here on one of my sites:

www.BestPriceBeads.com.

The theme is simple, easy to use and the sidebars are widgetized. There is a featured image section (removed in my demo site) on the home page which can be removed quite easily by commenting out the code in the header.php file, this is all explained in the readme.txt file which comes with your template download.

In addition I was also working on having the search form in the header along with 'bookmark us' & 'Subscribe to RSS' links but after looking at those parts on the live site I didn't think they went with the feel I was trying to achieve. That code is still in the header.php file and is clearly commented out should you wish to reactivate any of them.

As I said in an earlier post I am releasing these themes completely FREE to all subscribers of my blog, you will also recieve any future updates including color variations through the email address you use to subscribe. All I ask for giving this theme for FREE is that you leave my copyright notice in place, of course I cannot force you to do this so if you feel you have to remove it then I would appreciate a small donation for my time.

Enjoy the theme, and let me know if there are any specific color variations or ammendments you would like me to make to the theme and I will see what I can do.

    @Andrew

    Firstly, thankyou for taking the time to download my theme, the site looks really good:).

    Looking at your site the problem is basically because the keywords in your left sidebars are not anchors (i.e. they are not linked to anything). I would assume you are using the text widget to create this part of the left sidebar am I correct? What you need to do is ensure that you have the following in order for the little arrow to appear:

    <ul>
    <li>
    <a href="http://example.com">Your Link Text</a>
    </li>
    </ul>

    Currently you have:

    <ul>
    <li>
    Your Link Text
    </li>
    </ul>

    This is means that the css styles are not picked up and you don't get the little arrow. Does this make sense?

    Have a great day, thanks for stopping by.

    Thanks for the theme. I am very new to WordPress. I can’t figure out how to change the banner to say my store name.

  • ben said:

    Hi Kim

    No problem at all. The theme has a photoshop image file included which you can edit in photoshop or another image editor. If you don’t have one then email me over your store name etc and Ill do it for you and get the image sent to you,

    Ben :)

    I have Corel Paint….I am just not sure where to replace the banner image. I am a little confused about the size and location. Also can I change the colors of the theme? If the colors can be changed where do I do that?

    Thanks
