Love your video's …. pls do a video on how to do a one page wordpress website.
Hi Katrinah, thank you for all your high quality tutorials, you really taught me a job. May I ask your advice on something? I'd like to use this theme for booking recurring events (classes of many sports that take place in different locations and with varied lenght), many events for each day of the week, every week the same. Do you know of any plugin that could do the job? Thank you!
Hi Katrinah, thanks for your tutorial. Without it I would have no chance to setup my homepage. I have a question: I miss some of the icons in the toolbar for new pages. E.g. the icons that you use on your contact side are not shown on my screen. Do not know how to solve this problem – I hope you can help me. Thanks, Gudrun
How make the text smaller in the single page, were the add to cart page?
Do any one is having problem on sku?
I have just bought the premium version of the Virtue WordPress theme. It has everything I need and it looks nice. Although I have a relatively in-depth knowledge of WordPress I watched your video out of curiosity and I very much enjoyed it. Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to create this video. It is very informative and I'm sure is great for teaching others with little tech-savvy know-how. :)
hey katrinah is it possible to make website using free theme or pro version is mandatory??? please help.
How could you add a call to action page to capture email addresses?
I love this video it was big help to me… Thank you so much Katrinah you're amazing and keep up the good work that you're doing…
Hello. I am at 1:08:20 – adding a video portfolio item. I noticed that after I added this item then view the product item it looks fine but at the bottom in addition to the usual square images of Recent Projects there is a display above the image boxes with the word Related with the clickable names of the other portfolio items. The other portfolio items do not have this. Can you tell me why this is occurring? Thanks.
I keep finding the answers. I really don't know why the products don't show up on Shop but what I did was permanently delete my Shop page then using WooCommerce – System Tools – Tools I created the Shop page. Now products are properly displayed.
Can you tell me why my products do not show up on my Shop page? They do appear in Footer 3 Featured Products. This is at 152:28.
Thank You. :-)
I'm having trouble creating coupons. When I click 'Add New Coupon' the page goes white and a message appears saying "Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home/content/p3nexnas05_data03/41/2173641/html/wp-admin/includes/post.php on line 627". The coupon page appears again but the warning still remains at the top of the page. When I create the coupon I only have a button that says 'Submit for Review', no 'Publish' button; when I click it the page once again turns white with a message saying "You are not allowed to edit this post." Also, whenever I make a change, for example, if I un-tick the 'Enable Shipping' box, the options remain the same even after clicking 'Save Changes'. What's going on?
Just finished your video. It was wonderful! I learned so much. :-)
Hi Katrinah, this video wonderful, to you 🙂 i have a problem. this problem is page not found portfolio page. please help meeee
Ooops again. At 1:09:29 you show how to create the Portfolio page AFTER creating the portfolio items.
This is in regards to the Portfolio page. At the point in time 55:41 the video an actual portfolio page has not yet been created as far as I can tell. It is at this time that portfolio items will be added. Was the portfolio page supposed to have been created by the installation of the WooCommerce plugin?
Ah. Found the answer on Kadence support forum. "Virtue Toolkit is for the free themes only. It is not needed and does not work with the premium themes."
Great video as usual. Thanks for making it. Question. You use the Virtue Toolkit which has had nothing but very negative reviews. I have the premium version of Virtue. Because of that, do I still need Virtue Toolkit? It seems risky to use a plugin like Virtue Toolkit for an e-commerce site. What do you think?
Hello Katrinah, excellent tutorial. How can I add drop down product category tab on the home page. Many thanks
