OPTIONAL PLUGINS:

If you are not going to have a shop on your site, you will NOT need to install these plugins.

  • Genesis Connect for WooCommerce– This is used in conjunction with the WooCommerce plugin to work nicely with Genesis.

If you're already using another one of our themes, this section might not be applicable; however, if any of the required plugins have not been installed, they will appear at the top of your dashboard as shown below.

To begin activating these plugins, click on the  BEGIN INSTALLING PLUGINS option, as shown below.

A new screen with each plugin listed will be displayed.If you already have these plugins installed, they will show as active.

Check the box for each plugin to install and then select INSTALL from the dropdown box, as shown below.

The successful installation screen will be displayed. At the bottom, click on the  RETURN TO PLUGINS option. Again select each of the plugins that you just installed to activate them.

Click  ACTIVATE and then follow the instructions throughout the rest of this tutorial to configure them like the demo.
