Treehouse Guest TeacherI'm working on a WooCommerce course for release in two months. We have a workshop on WooCommerce ( a little outdated tho) that will show you how to setup and use WooCommerce.
If you design a custom theme from what you have and install WooCommerce it will work out of the box. However if you want to custom design each part like the product listing page, single page, checkout process etc, that will take some custom work with the WooCommerce hooks that won't be in any treehouse content till we release our advanced course on the topic later this year.

Treehouse Guest TeacherDo you already know how to build the WordPress theme itself?

23,937 PointsThanks Zac Gordon I watched the treehouse course on building a theme and quite conversant with it now. My php, html and css is good I'm just new with Wordpress. I have already built my static html pages. (They were php originally but wanted to hook up a cms to the store). Was guessing I would just change my web content to a theme and then add support in my wordpress for Woo Commerce , look through the default woo commerce pages and replace the php script in relevant portions of my site theme. Am I on the right track? James Barnett
