  1. Thanks Jamie! Have you thought about offering the Page Builder and Page Customizer for Storefront at some point?

        The page customizer and page builder are just amazing! Storefront theme loads at lightning speeds and seems to be very compatible with Woocommerce. So with these 2 additions I think it would be a great alternative to Canvas if you didn’t need all the extras that Canvas offers. Thanks for making great products!

  2. Hi Jamie

    Looks great I would like to see an option that allows you to have a vertical menu on the left hand side of the page for product categories.

      Hi Rajat,

      You probably just need to regenerate your thumbnails using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

      Let me know if that works for you 🙂

      Jamie

  5. i have installed this plugin but not activate it because suppose if this plugin regenerates my pics so all pics will update which inturns update my products page it may cause decrease in the ranking just because of the updation of all pics or it may take time to get their on previous position of page
    please tell me best solution
    thanx for your last reply

      Hi Rajat,

      It shouldn’t rename the pics – I believe it should just resize them. So SEO shouldn’t be affected.

  6. Hi jamie
    thanx for your last reply can you please tell me how can i do that stuff and are you sure your idea will work
    thanx for help in advance

  7. hi jamie
    i have noticed that storefront theme is not suitable for mobile.In my case it is giving very bad impression please tell me what should i do

  8. Thanks a lot Jamie! That’s really interesting.
    I was wondering whether you could help me with a query.

    I’ve got a fashion blog powered by the Fashinly theme and I have a shop with Woo-commerce. Now, I want to be able to customise the shop page without affecting any of my other content on the blog.

    Would store front be right for me or will it overwrite my existing theme?
    I just can’t seem to get it… 🙂

    Thank you in advance for your response.

  9. Hi Jamie,
    Having trouble hiding search bar in header. I have tried this code in the theme Functions (functions.php) but SB still shows.

    add_action( ‘init’, ‘jk_remove_storefront_header_search’ );

    function jk_remove_storefront_header_search() {

    remove_action( ‘storefront_header’, ‘storefront_product_search’, 40 );

    }
