Mandatory w3shop page types

This article details all the mandatory page types required within your w3shop. It explains what they contain and how they can be used.

w3shop Homepage

Each w3shop theme comes with a homepage.
There are some special rules for w3shop homepages.

1) Homepage cache

The w3shop homepage page type has a cache to speed up the load time
This means it can sometimes take around one hour for your changes to show after they've been saved.

2) You don't need a url slug for the homepage

The homepage or 1st page sorted is the only page that can have a blank url slug.
This means people can go to http://www.yourdomain.com instead of http://www.yourdomain.com/home

3) You don't have to use the homepage page type

You can use any page type for your actual homepage, provided.

  • The new page has a sort order of 1
  • It doesn't belong to any dropdown menu
  • You either
    • Remove the url slug, or
    • Include the page in your menu at the 1st position.

For example http://www.flyerzone.co.uk/ uses the Cumulus theme Homepage B instead of the default Homepage page type to show a different option.

4) Your logo or header image will redirect to the homepage
