Affiche Theme

Affiche is a stylish and artistic theme suitable for all arts and crafts stores, art portfolios, flower shops and gift stores. It is the perfect addition for stores with an artistic style that want a clean, modern look.

Thanks for purchasing Affiche from WooCommerce.com! Each purchase from our site is a yearly subscription which you can view and manage under the My Subscriptions section of your WooCommerce.com account dashboard.

The theme can be installed automatically or manually. We’d recommend one of the automatic options, but if you prefer you can always download the product .zip file and install your purchase manually.

Automatic Installation

There are two ways to automatically install your purchase from WooCommerce.com.

Manual Installation

If you prefer to install your purchase manually, you can certainly do so.

Once activated, you will be redirected to the theme setup page.

You can find the Theme Setup Wizard under Appearance > Theme Setup in case you decide to return to the dashboard and continue with it later on.

1. Child Theme

A WordPress child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme called the parent theme. Child themes allow you to modify, or add to the functionality of that parent theme.

WordPress Theme Handbook: Child Themes

The setup wizard allows you to build and activate the child theme with no effort.

2. Required Plugins

The WooCommerce plugin is required in order for Affiche to work. If the WooCommerce plugin is missing or is not active, theme features and demo import will not be complete.

3. Demo Import

The automatic importer will import posts, pages, products, widgets, menus and Customizer settings. This way it will recreate the minimal theme’s demo setup so you don’t need to start from scratch.

You can select the components you want to be imported from the Advanced list, so you don’t end up with undesired content.

Once you connect your site and WooCommerce.com account, you will receive update notifications in your WordPress dashboard as soon as they’re made available allowing you to update the theme with one click or set up automatic updates.

If you still need to manually update your theme, follow the details at Updating Your Theme.

Using Web Safe Fonts

Web-safe fonts are fonts that can adapt to any browser on any device. By using these types of fonts, web designers and developers ensure that the intended font will always display properly on a web page, even if these fonts aren’t installed on the user’s computer.

The following fonts are the best web safe fonts for HTML and CSS:

• Arial (sans-serif)
• Verdana (sans-serif)
• Tahoma (sans-serif)
• Trebuchet MS (sans-serif)
• Times New Roman (serif)
• Georgia (serif)
• Garamond (serif)
• Courier New (monospace)
• Brush Script MT (cursive)

Using Google Fonts

Thanks to the Google Fonts library, we have access to a web repository of over 900 quality fonts ready to use. They’re free to use (even for commercial projects), pre-hosted (so they won’t take up your server’s resources), and downloadable (you can use them in print).

How to manually install Google Fonts on your WordPress website:

Step 1: Find the font you want to add to your website

To get started, browse the Google Fonts directory and choose the font you want to use on your WordPress website. If you already have a specific typeface, you can simply search for it using the search box in the right sidebar.

Once you know which font you’re going with, copy its name and return to your website’s Customizer settings.

2. Insert the Google Font’s name into the Base Font Family field

Make sure you use the exact name of the font as it is called in Google Fonts.

Publish your Customizer changes and visit your site. The selected Google Font should now load and apply into your pages.

Using Custom Fonts

In order to use a custom font, you need a plugin that helps you easily embed the custom fonts files (woff2, woff, ttf, svg, eot, otf) in your WordPress website. The Custom Fonts plugin or the Use Any Font plugin should do the trick. Once you successfully embedded the font files, all you need to do it change the font name under Appearance > Customize > Fonts > Base Font Family.

The theme’s color palette consists of 6 colors which can be changed via Appearance > Customize > Colors. The colors defined here are being applied automatically across the site.
