    Hi

    We're new at this blogging and ebook lark.

    We bought two great StudioPress themes - Lifestyle Pro and Metro Pro for two projects that we're working on.

    We're fortunate that the two themes meet our requirements - straight out of the box - without needing much customisation.

    We want to bypass Kindle etc and sell our ebooks and audio books direct from our own sites.

    We were told that the WooCommerce plugin was the one to use.

    So we downloaded the WooCommerce plugin and and the Genesis Connect for WooCommerce plugin - and did everything like it says per the instructions.

    Unfortunately, the WooCommerce plugin doesn't seem to work correctly with either the Lifestyle Pro or Metro themes.

    After a bit of asking around we discovered that we're not the first people to have faced this problem i.e WooCommerce isn't an easy fit with StudioPress.

    Well we love our StudioPress themes and they work for us.

    So could anyone please recommend a plugin or plugins that would enable us to sell our ebooks and audiobooks from our Lifestyle Pro and Metro Pro themed sites?

    Many thanks for your help with this question.

    Hi

    Don't bother to reply.

    Have decided against WooCommerce for following reasons:

    1) Too much hassle to set up.
    2) Costs to much when you add in all the little extras.
    3) WooCommerce doesn't appear to work with our StudioPress themes - Lifestyle Pro and Metro Pro unless we do a lot of fiddling around with code etc. (We can't do code and just want something out of a box that works)

    Many thanks.
