Does it need a page builder?
No. Foliowick is a block theme, so you edit it in the WordPress Site Editor.
Do I need a books plugin?
No. Authors, formats, language, ISBN and other book details are ordinary WooCommerce product attributes, genres are categories and reading lists are tags. Foliowick stores no data of its own, so you can switch themes without losing anything.
Why don’t author names show on my books?
Foliowick looks for a global attribute with the slug book-author. Create it under Products → Attributes with Enable archives? ticked, and add it to your books. See Authors and author pages.
Why is a homepage section missing?
Sections hide themselves when the shop has nothing to show in them: no featured books, no genres with books, no reading lists, no author with a biography, no journal articles or no newsletter provider. See The homepage.
Can I sell ebooks and audiobooks?
Yes. Make them virtual, downloadable products or variations, so they need no shipping. See Book details and editions.
Can I take pre-orders?
Yes, for forthcoming books: tag the book forthcoming and set it to On backorder. See Forthcoming books and pre-orders.
How do I choose the Editor’s Pick?
Tag a book editors-pick. The newest book with that tag is the pick; without one, the newest featured book is used.
Does the newsletter collect email addresses?
Only with a newsletter provider. Jetpack Subscriptions works out of the box, and developers can add any provider’s form with the foliowick_newsletter_form filter. Without one, no form is shown. See Newsletter.
Will a demo store overwrite my products?
No. The import only adds its own content, and Remove demo content deletes only what it created. See Import a demo store.
Can I change the colors and fonts?
Yes. Choose Modern Editorial, Classic Bookshop, Storytime or Inkwell under Appearance → Editor → Styles, or change the palette and fonts there yourself.
Do I need a licence key for the theme to work?
No. Foliowick works fully without a licence. An active licence enables one-click updates from the dashboard. See Activate your licence.
What happens when my licence expires?
The theme keeps working. You stop receiving updates until you renew.
