I'm struggling to get my head around which WP theme to use. I've read many pages which document all the best e-commerce wordpress plugins but they all feature integration with WooCommerce of Jingo something or other. Its not clear in any documentation if simply disabling the Woocommerce stuff would make it even moderately easy to paste the e-junkie codes into relevant places in the themes page codes. In fact many support things say it is not easily possible and would require much tinkering which is not what I want.



I just want a simple theme that will allow me to set up an e-book selling site.



Unfortunately the great looking eStore from Elegant themes is out of the running since a site selling similar products to mine is already using that and I don't want to cause confusion.



I've searched the community here and googled around for the last few hours and I'm really surprised that there isn't some more suggestions out there on this topic. Can anyone offer any help or advice ?



thanks,



Dan

Dan, I can send you a file that has many WP themes, you can sort through them and see if there is anything you'd like. I normally sell this but I figure that since you are in dire need I can try and send this to you. It's a 300mb package called "100WordPressThemes". I may have access to some other programs too.

Anyway, I need to send it via www.wetransfer.com, which a free FTP for files under 2GB in size. I just sent this to your ejunkie profile msg....with a request for your email as the FTP asks for it.

Thanks for the offer but I don't really want to sort though 100 more themes, I'm really looking for people with real world experience for a particular theme that works.

You should be able to use E-junkie with any WP theme you choose, as we do not provide or impose any particular page template or storefront CMS you'd have to use; how you design/generate your pages and product listings would be left entirely up to you.



Once you set up your products in E-junkie Seller Admin, we provide you with ready-made HTML codes for your cart buttons. You would simply copy the codes from us and paste them into the HTML source of your own Web site pages, wherever you want our buttons to appear among your own layout, text and images. Our standard cart would appear as an overlay "inside" your own page, fitting within your site's existing layout and branding.



For WordPress sites, we do at least recommend using the Raw HTML WP plugin to help ensure that the WP software won't mangle our button codes after you paste them in; other tips you may find helpful are provided here:

I'm aware that E-Junkie will work with any theme. But many are more suitable than others depending on how the post or page index pages are generated and whether they have built in related posts and things like that. I'm just looking to see if anyone can give any experience or feedback on specific themes that have worked for them in the past. Obviously there are many tens of thousands of wordpress themes so any head start is appreciated.
