1. This is an optional page you can create that displays products in a table rather than a catalog.
2. A product category named Options and Fees was automatically created on install. This category is the default for the Options and Fees page.
3. If you wish a different category to serve this role go the Options and Fees settings page and select the category you want and save.
4. Create child categories of the chosen Options and Fees category, and make products belonging to those categories. Assign a parent and child category to each product. This is needed for Step-By-Step to function correctly.
5. Drag and drop child categories from Available Categories to Options and Fees Page Outline to build your Options and Fees page.

WordPress Themes

This plugin is configured to work with themes already compatible with WooCommerce. While the plugin is fully functional with these themes out of the box, it is recommended to take these steps if you are using one of the following themes:

–Twenty Sixteen–

It is recommended that a full-width template be used on the Choose Package page. Since Twenty Sixteen does not come with a full-width template, download a child theme from our website, install it, then activate it. Go to the package selection page in the Admin settings and choose the Full Width template on the right-hand sidebar.

–Twenty Seventeen–

Twenty Seventeen does not come with a sidebar. Download a child theme from our website, install it, then activate it. Go to the Ordering page in WP Admin and choose the Page with Sidebar template on the right-hand sidebar.

–Divi by Elegant Themes–

The Choose Package and Checkout page works best on a full-width template. The Step-By-Step Ordering page should be used on a 3/4 and 1/4 width template for main content and sidebar, respectively.

–Storefront–

The Choose Package page is best displayed on the Full width template, which you can select when you edit that page on the right-hand sidebar. The default template is recommended for the Ordering page.

Step-By-Step Premium Upgrade

If you like our plugin and would like to see more content from us please consider purchasing a license from us. Premium users get additional features like unlimited steps, navigation options, required products, either-or products, package store credit, preset themes, and much more! You will also have access to our support team!

After purchasing a license, a key will be sent to your provided email. Enter this key into the input box in the Premium tab in the Step-By-Step Ordering settings and then click Activate.

Uninstalling

If you wish to disable this plugin’s functionality you can deactivate it in the plugin settings. If you wish to completely remove this plugin, deactivate it, then click the Delete button.  If you have a premium license, deactivate it first in the “premium tab” of the SBS settings before deleting the plugin.

By default all settings, custom fields, and custom metas are not deleted on uninstall. If you wish to remove all Step-By-Step data, add this line to your wp-config.php file:

define( 'SBS_REMOVE_ALL_DATA', true );

This will delete any content created by the Step-By-Step plugin when you uninstall, including the Package and Step-By-Step Ordering pages, all settings, and post metas. Products and Categories will not be removed.
