and we can also say from experience we can build fast and feature rich sites with less than 30 plugins in total. That&#8217;s a REALLY feature rich website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re trying to get support in setting up WooCommerce plugins and extensions &#8211; my FIRST recommendation is to go to the plugin developers&#8217; website and read through their documentation &#8211; if the answer isn&#8217;t clear, submit a support request or raise a support ticket with them through their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many plugin developers opt to use the WordPress.org plugin repository&#8217;s built-in support forum to handle support requests. When this is the case, you can submit your query there &#8211; and better still you can search the support forum to see if anyone else had the same question about how to configure the plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Support_for_changing_the_way_your_WooCommerce_Store_LOOKS\"><\/span>Support for changing the way your WooCommerce Store LOOKS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This one is a minor bug-bear for me as plenty of WooCommerce users don&#8217;t distinguish between:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>WooCommerce functionality<\/li><li>WordPress functionality<\/li><li>Visual appearance of their website driven by their THEME<\/li><li>Extended functionality of WordPress &amp; WooCommerce through Plugins<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ll add more as they become relevant<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You Searched for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">woo commerce 101<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you&#8217;re trying to find community support for WooCommerce you maybe wondering where to turn.
