About Iona – Handmade & Crafts Shop WordPress Theme 1.0.1

Iona is a WordPress theme for shops that sell handmade goods and crafts. It was originally sold on ThemeForest, and in the store it is filed under handmade, blog and premium theme categories. The title calls it a shop theme, so expect a storefront-style design for small makers.

The listing doesn't say which shop plugin it uses, whether it expects WooCommerce, or what demos it includes. Check the documentation in the package first. A theme titled as a shop on WordPress almost always relies on a separate e-commerce plugin for products and checkout, but confirm that here.

The file on record dates from April 2020. Test it with your current WordPress, PHP and WooCommerce versions on a staging site first.

Requirements

  • WordPress
  • A shop plugin such as WooCommerce, if the theme documentation confirms it supports one

Key features

Handmade and crafts design
A look aimed at makers and craft sellers.
Shop-oriented theme
Named as a shop theme, so it is meant to show products.
Blog support
Listed under blog categories for stories about your work.
Standard theme package
Installs as a normal WordPress theme.
Maker-friendly styling
Filed under handmade, which suits showing small catalogues.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

  • Makers and crafters selling handmade items online
  • Small shops that also want a blog about their process
  • Developers building a small craft store for a client

Look elsewhere if

  • Large catalogues with complex filtering needs
  • Sites that need a different shop plugin than the theme supports

How to install Iona – Handmade & Crafts Shop WordPress Theme 1.0.1

  1. 1

    Download the file

    Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.

  2. 2

    Find the installable theme zip

    Theme packages often bundle the theme, a child theme, plugins and docs. The installable theme is the zip that has style.css at its top level.

  3. 3

    Upload it to WordPress

    Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme → Upload Theme, choose the theme zip, then Install Now and Activate.

  4. 4

    Install the recommended plugins

    Most premium themes show a notice listing their required plugins. Install those before importing any demo content.

Notes for this product

  • The listing doesn't name the shop plugin. Check the documentation in the package, and install that plugin before importing any demo.

Getting started: using Iona – Handmade & Crafts Shop WordPress Theme 1.0.1

  3. Activate and install the required plugins. Follow the plugin notice shown after activation.
  4. Add products and categories. Create your product categories and add a few products with clear photos.

Common problems and fixes

“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”
Why it happens
The full download package was uploaded instead of the theme zip inside it.
How to fix it
Unzip the package and upload the zip that contains style.css at its top level.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
Why it happens
The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it
Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/themes with your host's file manager or SFTP.
Demo import stops part-way or times out
Why it happens
The server hits its execution-time or memory limit during the import.
How to fix it
Raise max_execution_time and memory_limit with your host, then re-run the importer; importing content, widgets and settings separately also helps.
Pages look broken right after activating
Why it happens
The theme's required plugins (page builder, theme core plugin) aren't installed yet.
How to fix it
Install and activate everything in the theme's required-plugins notice, then reload.

Frequently asked questions

Does Iona need WooCommerce?

The listing doesn't say. Check the documentation in the package for the supported shop plugin.

Is it suitable for non-craft shops?

It is designed for handmade goods, so other niches may need more styling work.

Does it include demo content?

The listing doesn't state it. Expect to add your own products and photos either way.

Will it work with current WordPress?

The file dates from April 2020, so test on a staging copy first.
