    I'm redoing my website from scratch. It's got a e-commerce element to it, for which I'm using WooCommerce.

    Would it be a good idea to use Genesis and create the new theme as a child theme to Genesis and then add WooCommerce?

    I'm trying to figure out the best approach.

    Many thanks!

    Sure, you could do it that way if you like building themes. You could also buy an existing Genesis theme and add Woo to that. Woo Commerce will generally work with any theme (Genesis or not), although sometimes some styling tweaks needed.

    I have WooCommerce on several very customized Genesis Child themes. I always make my child theme first, then install WooCommerce and Genesis Connect for WooCommerce, that will generally take care of most things. WooCommerce will add styling for buttons, main text, that is in the settings and it is easiest to set that sort of thing there. If I need more styling, I add the CSS styles from the WooCommerce stylesheet to my theme style sheet. You can also completely exchange the WooCommerce stylesheet for a custom one, but I rarely need to override everything, so I find it easier to just add styles that I want to change.

    I have not been able to get woocommerce to work with ANY theme. What am I missing? I've had to deactivate woocommerce because it completely scrambled the theme.
