Building custom WooCommerce sites with Toolset

Toolset plugin

Starting with 5.0.0 WoodMart is compatible with the Toolset plugin set that lets you add custom types to your site and display them any way you choose – all, without writing PHP:

• Blocks – Front-end content display – you can create and visually display lists of content, design templates for content, and design archive pages, and create powerful custom searches.
• Types – Custom Post Types, Taxonomies, and Fields – You can add fields to any content type and to users.  With Types, you can also connect between different content types and work with relational databases.
• Forms – Front-end content creation forms – you can build front-end forms for creating and editing content and users.
• Access – Access control and custom roles management – lets you add custom roles and control their privileges. You can control what actions different roles and users can do on content and what WordPress admin screens users can access.

Toolset allows you to create a completely custom template for displaying single WooCommerce products. Besides displaying all the standard product fields, you can add your own custom fields and taxonomies.

You can display all product information in any way you want. You design the templates using the native WordPress editor and blocks.

With Toolset, you can create and display your custom lists of products using different layouts. Instead of the standard grid, you can also use a collage or masonry layout and display it anywhere you want.

Some of the popular types of custom lists you can design include:

• List of related products
• List of products that belong to a specific taxonomy
• Products displayed in a slider

Toolset allows you to create a completely custom WooCommerce Shop page. Customize how products are displayed, choose which product fields to display, display custom product fields, and more.

Controlling WoodMart theme options

When editing templates and archive pages, you can find the Theme Options (WoodMart) section in the sidebar, on the Document tab. It lets you turn on and off theme options like the main page title, footer, sidebar, and more.

Each template has its own, separate settings for WoodMart. This gives you great flexibility in designing how your products and custom post types look on the front-end.

Please note that currently, you cannot disable the built-in theme pagination for Toolset archives. This includes the Shop page.

If you’re building a custom e-commerce site, we highly recommend going through the free training course about creating custom WooCommerce sites. It explains everything you need to start baking all the advanced Toolset features right into your e-commerce shop.
