Is the Magento and theme hard to install and manage / add products?</srtong>
The Magento theme is a bit more time consuming to install than a WP theme but if you follow our instructions it’s pretty straight forward. And of course we’re here to help if you need it. Adding categories, attribute sets, attributes and products are pretty easy with Magento. Credit card stuff is very easy to setup in Magento as you’re simply required to enter your payment gateway credentials.
I don’t see the nav bar. How do I get this to show up?
Please make sure your categories are listed under Default/Root category. That’s a common thing to happen and it’ll cause your categories to not show up in navigation.
I created the categories under root and its still not showing up.
That may happen in case the Default/Root category isn’t specified for your Store (Admin / System / Manage Stores). You can also try to clear the Magento cache.
The products are not showing up.
- Visible in Catalog and Enabled
- Has a stock Quantity and is In Stock
- Assigned to a category
Is there a certain way I have to add products and categories on magento?
Here is a good documentation on how to set up categories and products.
When I am in a category there is no sidebar.
Please make sure your categories are anchored (“Is Anchor” → “Yes”). This will allow Magento to display the layered navigation: http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/how-does-layered-navigation-work/
Is there a limit to how many additional thumb images you can place underneath the main image on product pages?
There is no limit on how many additional thumbs you can place underneath the main image. The theme will automatically create new rows if necessary.
When text is copied and pasted in the description section of adding a new product, on the main site it shows html coding,how can this be avoided?
It may happen if you’re pasting the code in the WYSIWYG mode. Try to turn it off (“Show / Hide Editor” button) and paste the code again, it should work.
I am pasting the homepage sample content to the CMS /Page/Home page section under Content and all I see on the homepage is HTML .

I can not find / activate the About us, Service and Contact page. Where are they and / or how can I activate them?
Please go to Magento Admin / CMS / Pages, it’s there by default. The Contacts page isn’t part of any CMS page, so you can’t change it via Magento admin.
I didnt find “you may also like”, “add tags” “product description” modules as in other magento templates.
Our theme is totally flexible and it should display any other design elements you may see in other themes, it simply depends on Magento configuration. We already had the “product description” section, and just enabled the Mage_Tag module via Magento admin and added the Upsell product. So there are all sections on products page. Here is a sample: http://organic.worryfreelabs.com/women-s-winter-hat.html
In case i want to add more products in the home page to the “new” or “best sellers” categories… is that possible?
Of course, this is possible. You can change anything you want on the homepage via CMS editor. In fact, you can completely remove the “40% off sale!” block, and then add more products to either “new” or “best sellers” block.
Can I also change the thumb size on the home page, and make it bigger?
Definitely! You can customize it via CSS or simply upload bigger images.

I can’t find the catalogsearch.xml on app->default->organic->layout is that a file missing or is the theme like this.
- /app/design/frontend/base/default/layout
- /app/design/frontend/default/organic/layout
Will I be limited in what the static pages can have in them?
In theory, there are no limits, and you can include any thing on a static page. But you have to be familiar with Magento platform and have experience in Magento customization.
