Hi Everyone,
I’m looking for someone to help me create an online store by using the woocommerce plugin in my Aspire theme. If you’re able to and available or know someone who can, please contact me. me@ClaraNartey.com
Thanks.
Clara
I got this message when I installed the wooCommerce plugin.
“Your theme does not declare WooCommerce support – Please read our integration guide or check out our Storefront theme which is totally free to download and designed specifically for use with WooCommerce.”
and
“WooCommerce Stripe – The minimum PHP version required for this plugin is 5.6.0. You are running 5.4.43.”
What do I do? I thought Aspire theme is compatible with wooCommerce.and PHP?
Thanks.
Clara.

This is the same message that will pop up on all Genesis Child Themes at first. All you need to do is add in the Genesis Connect code that enables WooCommrce Support. This code should already be inside of the functions file by default…..if it’s not, then that means you’re using an older version of the theme. If you’re using an older version of the theme, and you don’t want to upgrade to the latest version (assuming you’ve made customizations to your Theme files), then you can manually add the code in your Functions.php file. Here’s what you’ll need to add –
//* Add WooCommerce Support
add_theme_support( 'genesis-connect-woocommerce' );
Next, make sure you’ve installed the Genesis Connect Plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-connect-woocommerce/ This plugin handles the WooCommerce integration automatically for you so you won’t need to add any additional code. Plus it enables a lot of the basic Genesis features, like the ability to control your Page Layouts with the Genesis Default layouts, and much more.

The minimum PHP version issue has to do with your Hosting/Server. It doesn’t have anything to do with the Aspire Theme or any other WordPress theme you’re using. It’s referencing your Hosting/Server. You’ll want to contact your Hosting Company and let them know about this PHP version issue and ask if there’s either a way to upgrade your current version, or find a work around to be able to use Stripe on the current version of PHP you’re using at the moment.
The Aspire theme definitely works fine with WooCommerce out of the box, as you can see here – http://demo.appfinite.net/aspire/shop …but you’ll either need to be using the later versions of the Theme where we added the WooCommerce support, or you’ll manually need to add in the Genesis Connect Code and Plugin. And of course for the Stripe plugin, you’ll need to contact your host to see about upgrading your PHP version.
Edit: I just did a Google search for – “WooCommerce Stripe – The minimum PHP version required for this plugin is 5.6.0. You are running 5.4.43.”
and came across a couple posts –
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-visible-in-woocommerce-checkout-options/
https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-update-your-php-version/
For the most part, all of the solutions are recommending users to contact their Hosting Company so they can see about making the upgrade.
Thanks Wes.
You’re Welcome!
Hi,
I’m trying to figure out how to show my product categories on the first page of my store instead of all the individual products.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
Clara.
Thanks Wes, I’d already figured it out.
But I just want to acknowledge and appreciate you for how hard you work to support the questions and needs of your customers. You go the extra mile to research questions and bring us answers. You stay up late in the night (Sometimes 1:00 am, 2:00 am….) to answer client questions. You just go above and beyond. And for all of that, you deserve our praise.
Thanks for all you do.
Clara.
Wow Thanks Clara, that means a lot!
This definitely made my day 🙂
Wondering if you know about the changes woo commerce recently made in their new version 3.0 release that’s affecting some theme’s product gallery images.

Yeah I just found out about it, another thread mentioned something about thumbnail issues. I’ll be taking a look at it to see what needs to be done to get it fixed.
Thanks for the link! Hopefully that will speed up the process to figuring out what needs to get fixed.
Ok. Sounds great
Checking in. Are they any updates on the woo commerce thumbnail issues?
Thanks.
I just got it done last night – http://demo.appfinite.net/aspire/
I started on it last week and fixed those thumbnail issues, but decided to spend some extra time and clean up the CSS for the WooCommerce section.
I’ll let you know as soon as the update is available for download. It should be done today, unless I find something else.
StudioPress just added my update to the downloads area, so you should be able to login to your account and download the newest version. I added a changelog in the Readme file so everyone can see which files were changed/updated.
I did add many different changes throughout the theme. So if you’ve made customizations to your child theme and don’t want to fully replace it with the new version, then you can add the following code to your functions file –
// Enable WooCommerce Gallery Features (Zoom, Lightbox, Slider)
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'aspire_gallery_setup' );
function aspire_gallery_setup() {
/*add_theme_support( 'wc-product-gallery-zoom' );*/
add_theme_support( 'wc-product-gallery-lightbox' );
add_theme_support( 'wc-product-gallery-slider' );
}
That will address the Thumbnail issue.
Let me know if that works, or if you run into any issues adding the updates.
Wes,
Because I’ve made changes to my child theme I didn’t want to lose, I added the code above.
But it didn’t fix the thumbnail issues.
Thanks.
Since you’ve made changes to the theme, you can use a site like this – https://www.diffchecker.com/ to compare your functions.php file with the new version of the functions file to see what’s added or removed. You’ll just need to look at the WooCommerce section of the file to see if there’s something that needs to be changed.
