With seemingly thousands of Free and Premium WordPress themes out there, it can be tricky to pick the right WordPress theme for your business.
While launching a website seems easy, hardest part is finding a theme that meets your content requirement. There is not a single WordPress theme that would meet all the needs of all website owners. Every theme is built for a specific purpose and has its own strengths and weaknesses. Your job is to find the theme that meets your business’s needs.
While there are themes that do it all, they tend to be heavy and bloated because they are designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of website owners. In other words, they do everything but specialize in nothing.
Choosing these resource-consuming and feature-heavy WordPress themes is like getting operated on by a surgeon who has nothing but a Swiss army knife to perform all surgical tasks.
Finding the right WordPress theme requires more than just picking a theme based on look. In this article, we will provide some tips on what to look out for when choosing a WordPress theme. We will also recommend some free tools to help you check a theme’s credibility.

These WordPress Portfolio Themes are recommended for photographers, graphic designers, web designers, artists and whoever has something cool to show on a website!
If you didn’t know, a portfolio website is an essential tool that should be able to generate more business and increase your personal brand awareness. There is no doubt that TODAY, a portfolio website is definitely more important than a CV, no matter what creative industry you work in.
Portfolio websites (and therefore themes) usually have a striking image-based and categorized portfolio section, from where each project can be accessed and studied. Besides, huge importance is given to the “about me” page, where the artist should be able to display her skills, abilities, photo and social media feeds. They should also focus on the most important call to action: “contact us”.
Well, we hope you like our collection of WordPress Portfolio themes. Enjoy 🙂

WooCommerce is far from just another ecommerce platform, it is a powerhouse that runs on WordPress, and brings with it limitless possibilities when it comes to operating a high-caliber online retail operation.
One aspect of the platform that is often ignored and underutilized is its remarkable data-harnessing capabilities.
When combined with the magic of data, WooCommerce sites can predict what their customers need, even before they know it themselves, adding substantial value, while improving cart sizes, margins, and profitability in the process.
In this article, we take a look at what data depth is, and how to make it work with WooCommerce to enhance campaigns and profitability in the long run.

The wc_get_orders function is the recommended method for fetching orders in WooCommerce due to its flexibility, safety, and adherence to best practices. It offers several advantages over using custom WP_Query or database queries. It’s also HPOS compatible.
You can specify various arguments to filter orders based on properties like status (pending, completed, on-hold, etc.), customer (ID, email), date range, order IDs, payment method, total, custom fields and more.
Today, I’d like to talk about paid orders – at the moment there is no way to filter out free orders with a wc_get_orders parameter, so we need to find a workaround.
My solution uses the “payment_method” parameter, which accepts a payment method ID (cheque, bacs, afterpay, paypal, stripe, woocommerce_payments, ppcp-gateway, klarna_payments, etc. based on the payment gateway plugins you use). Clearly, an order that comes with a specific payment method is a paid order.
Unfortunately you can only select one payment method (as opposed to an array), so we also need to do some array merging. Enjoy!

WooCommerce product images on the Single Product page get the default Zoom + Lightbox + Photoswipe behavior. This is super helpful when the images are super important for sales conversion, and less helpful in other cases (in fact, here’s a snippet to disable Zoom etc. from the Woo product pages).
Now, the challenge that I had on this same website was that I wanted blog readers to also enjoy the same WooCommerce zoom / lightbox features on blog post images and screenshots. So, without reinventing the wheel, I’m now loading the WooCommerce scripts on pages like this one (single post), and on image click I trigger the lightbox!
You can test the feature by clicking on the image below. Enjoy!
Continue reading WooCommerce: How to Reuse Zoom/Lightbox Scripts On Non-Product ImagesWe are looking for a bundle module or script that would allow us to assign an SKU to the bundle. Now we are using https://yithemes.com/themes/plugins/yith-woocommerce-product-bundles/ and it works well but it doesn’t allow us to have an SKU for the bundle. We need this because we send the orders in our ERP.
Any idea of a plugin wiht this feature? Or can we add a script to add the SKU to the bundle?
Scalability is a vital factor to consider when setting up your WooCommerce store. It refers to the ability of your website to handle increased traffic and transactions as your business grows.
Essentially, it’s about accommodating growth without hampering site performance or user experience. If you foresee significant growth for your online store, scalability has to be one of your primary considerations from day one.
Hosting plays an integral part in ensuring scalability because as demand surges, server capabilities must keep up too. A scalable hosting solution will mitigate potential problems related to heavy traffic, and can upgrade resources accordingly to ensure smooth operation at all times.
If you’re a WooCommerce site owner and you are concerned about how well your setup can scale, read on for a rundown of the main aspects that matter when it comes to hosting, and the choices you have available.

The “Search products…” WooCommerce form usually appears in the website header and/or the Shop page sidebar based on your theme settings and widget setup.
It usually features an input form with a magnifying glass icon (unless your theme customizes it via CSS), without a visible search button, and on enter it redirects users to the search result page.
Case study: most WooCommerce Ajax Search plugins target the WooCommerce product search form input, so that when you start typing, the “instant search results” window pops up. However, I needed to disable this behavior on certain subsites/languages and the only workaround here was to add a class to the search form input, so that I could target it in my Ajax plugin selector exclusions.
Even if the above scenario is very unlikely, the challenge is still valid. So, how do we customize the HTML of the “Search products…” WooCommerce form (so, not the CSS, but the actual HTML output)? Let’s go!
Continue reading WooCommerce: Customize Product Search Form HTMLI currently use PPOM for adding a text field into a product page for customers to specify how they want a dedication in a book. I have no complaints with this function. It just works.
But I have 2 issues with using it. Firstly my site is heavy, and I am on a mission to slim down unnecessary plugins and code that could be slowing things down. It has many more features than the simple one I need. Secondly I find ThemeIsle’s spammy ads in the back end product data panel annoying.
So I would love a slimmed down version, if it was available, and I would pay for it. Any suggestions?
You’d think WooCommerce had an easy way to get the order tax rate percentage, the same way as you can get almost everything inside the “order object” with a single line of PHP. Well, that’s not the case unfortunately.
The reason is that probably each order can have multiple tax rates, and that tax is not only applied to product prices, but also optionally to shipping, fees and more.
So, how do we get the list of tax rates in a WooCommerce order? Here’s a quick snippet that you can use – enjoy!
