Hi there thanks for this video would like to see you use it in woo-commerce changing the default layouts of products pages

[@coding4tacos]

Thanks for your comment! That is a good idea. Changing the Woo product pages is generally the same process for most themes. It's something I'd like to explore more though...I have been working with WooCommerce more than usual over the past few months

[@ddrci88]

Hi Taylor ....You're doing a good job with these tutorials.... I have a question. I'd like to know how to upload dynamic content through a cpanel on front end ..I mean how to customize the front end to upload content.

Hi my Gulp not working and it empty file

[@lakzari_za]

Doesnt work at all, [19:59:09] Using gulpfile /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/learnjutas/wp-content/themes/Un/gulpfile.js [19:59:09] Starting 'default'... [19:59:09] Starting 'watch'... Nothing happens when i refresh browser

[@coding4tacos]

If it says "starting watch" that means it is working! So nice job. But it's just watching. When you save a CSS or JS file you are editing, THEN it should then compile everything (as long as you are editing from the default folders and haven't changed the config). It's also possible that you're having caching problems and need to clear your browser cache in order to see the changes.

Please help. Let's say I want to switch understrap from SCSS to SASS markup. What should I do? I tried to edit gulpfile.js - change 'scss' to 'sass'. Also changed _theme.scss extension to sass. Won't work.

[@coding4tacos]

Well at that point I think it would be better to add SASS syntax to an UnderScores theme (not UnderStrap), however I am far from an expert on this topic. UnderStrap comes with Bootstrap files, Contact Form 7 files, UnderScores files and WooCommerce files that are all in the SCSS syntax and are compiled if you don't comment out their includes. From what I understand, SCSS syntax is used in all newer versions of Sass. That said, if you're determined to try it, maybe check out the npm package gulp-ruby-sass

I always get an error after npm install and I have node js installed. Do you know why maybe? Thank you!

[@coding4tacos]

what is the error?

[@duky1995]

@@coding4tacos I managed to solve npm install. But now I am getting this when I proceed with gulp watch: cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. 😂 I am on Windows. Thank you!

Hello there, I cannot understand How understrap theme add {style.css} file? I searched get_stylesheet_uri() in understrap but not found..

How long would u estimate it would take a junior wp developer to build an e-commerce site with under strap ?

[@coding4tacos]

This is an excellent question! It's a tough one to answer, though. A junior WP developer who is experienced with UnderStrap and has some WooCommerce experience could build a simple e-commerce store with a simple design in day or two, assuming all the content, products, design was ready to go. There are some quality OverStrap themes that would also make this possible in a day. On the other hand, a more complex e-commerce store could take a whole team of people months. It really depends on the requirements. UnderStrap is a pretty bare-bones starter. It does provide WooCommerce template files, which is helpful. There are ways to build e-commerce stores without WooCommerce, of course. That would be no different than any other theme.

[@Love_laugh_happy]

coding4tacos thank you! In your opinion what would make an e commerce site complex ? They have over 30,000 products. I was planning on using their previous upload sheets for products on the new site - but they do have new products too and I am not entirely sure what I need to ask from those suppliers right now in terms of fields.. What do you think of wp all import? How would you upload bulk products? I was thinking I’d like to use wp-cli but not sure where to start with it- not much online about it😔 Sorry for all the questions, quite alone with this task. And when you mentioned the team.. I wonder what makes it a more complex site
