    Hi Josh. WooCommerce has now retired mystile. Do you recommend any other theme to use that is similar to mystile? I used this video to create my first two websites with mystile and i love the face that you can customize very freely with it. Please help 🙂 Thanks in advance!

    Hi. i watch your video 'how create an ecommerce site in WordPress, i know it old but looking at it it would be good. i down the themes and install to discover it missing a Installing Theme from uploaded file: woocommerce.3.0.1.zip
    Unpacking the package…

    Installing the theme…

    The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

    Theme install failed.

    You are a very polish and pleasant speaker, very articulate. Should be on media tv. I must agree with many others, Best You tube Tutorial. Very few people speak and teach as well as you do! Thanks for video!

    Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am currently trying to create two different checkout options. One checkout option needs to allow users within a 20-30 mile radius(can use zipcode I guess to do this) to order via delivery method or shipping method. The next checkout option needs to automatically push users who are not within the delivery radius to a shipping only method.

    I noticed that you had different checkout options but if I give someone the option to chose "free delivery" or in my case "local delivery for $5" when they live in California and I live in Louisiana I will not be able to afford to send it to them because the shipping cost are more expensive.

    I am doing a website in Ecomerce (in WordPress) I would like to have more options just like the example links . How can make options like – Color, size etc? If some one wants to short out and have a look at ONLY the black color shirt , HE OR SHE should have options to choose the color black. If some one wants to look size 45 of the shirt , HE OR SHE should be able to select size 45. How can make these options in wordpress ecommerce ?
