How Do I Add WooCommerce to Divi?

Last updated on January 12, 2023 @ 1:27 pm

There are two ways to add WooCommerce to Divi. The first is by installing the plugin, and the second is by adding the code to your functions.php file.

Installing the Plugin:

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Plugins > Add New.

2. Search for “WooCommerce” in the search bar.

3. Install and activate the WooCommerce plugin.

Adding the Code:

1. Copy the code below and add it to your child theme’s functions.php file or create a new file called WooCommerce.php in your child theme and paste the code there:

<?php
function my_child_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'parent-style';
wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .css', array( $parent_style ), wp_get_theme()->get('Version'));
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_child_theme_enqueue_styles' );
PRO TIP: If you are planning to add WooCommerce to your Divi site, be aware that there are some potential risks and problems that you may encounter.

Firstly, WooCommerce is a plugin for WordPress, which means that it is not specifically designed for Divi. This can lead to compatibility issues and conflicts between the two platforms.

Secondly, adding WooCommerce to Divi will significantly increase the complexity of your site, which can make it more difficult to manage and maintain.

Finally, be sure to carefully test your site after adding WooCommerce to ensure that everything is working as it should.

2. Save the changes and upload the file to your server.

3. Navigate to Appearance > Widgets and drag the WooCommerce widget into the sidebar of your choice.
