Hello there and welcome aboard.

Don’t worry there are WC guru’s aplenty here, but I’m not one of them.

And which tutorials are you following?  
is it from here,

> **[Creating custom WooCommerce themes - Course | Pinegrow Web Editor](https://pinegrow.com/docs/woocommerce/creating-custom-woocommerce-themes-course/)**
>
> Everything you need to know about creating a custom WooCommerce themes with Pinegrow Shop Builder.

and lesson 5 there?

if so, did you read this warning/guide right at the beginning?

So its mainly about creating a THEME for a shop…not a shop itself.  
helpful huh? if you dont know your way around WP and WC.

If so, I just downloaded the **Finished** and **html** versions of the projects from Github and they dont contain any images - though there might be links to them online.  
I shall have a look too, if no developer chimes in to point you in the right direction for those assets.

Which version of PG.  
Which version of WP and which version of WC are you working with?  
So that should help address some of the vagueness 🙂

A wordpress is a can of worms if you dont know it. People will point your to its documentation  
AKA  
**The CODEX**

Which is huge and demoralising.  
This …thing

SO maybe do some of the beginner WP stuff first and tutorials on how WP works with PG.

Also are you using PG WP or the PG plugin for wp, on a local or remote server? just asking for _paths_ to files etc for your missing items etc.

And how familiar are you with the PG interface itself?  
and its WP interface and stuff?

Just asking because in order to use it correctly you need to know about _loops_ and such like and where/how to add WP actions to the site content in the correct place in the PG interface.  
Hence I guess that is why you’re doing the tutorial 🙂

But is it to learn PG  
Learn WP  
Learn WC  
?

if its all at the same time, …yeah!

Thats a bit full on.

Also, for @matjaz  
the link at the bottom of the Github project site for the HTML finished version

> **[GitHub - Pinegrow/StarterShop\_BS5\_HTML: Starter Shop HTML without WooCommerce...](https://github.com/Pinegrow/StarterShop_BS5_HTML)**

links to the following missing Pinegrow documentation page

which suggests clicking on the following link to the documentation for Pinegrow V2.x site.  
[https://pinegrow.com/docs/woocommerce/starter-shop-creating-a-custom-woocommerce-theme/](https://pinegrow.com/docs/woocommerce/starter-shop-creating-a-custom-woocommerce-theme/)

but…if you DO follow that link to the PG V2 docs… and V3 and 4… maybe 5?\>…aargh!!!  
You get this beauty!

So where have all the docs from docbeta gone?  
that now means that the docs collation posts such as

> [@Problem searching our docs](https://forum.pinegrow.com/t/problem-searching-our-docs/1574/2):
>
> Hi! Some more totally useful Documtation feedback. Honest slight_smile I am still also using PG 2.951 sometimes, as well as 4.3 I didn’t have much of a chance with 3.x so most of my doc requirements are 2.x and 4.x (I also still have 1.27 installed smiley ) but, it seems like all the PG 2.x docs need rounding up and collecting into a V 2.x section. then, topics could be searched by TOPIC - and it returns 3 versions 2.x, 3.x, 4.x Or TOPIC and VERSION. yep, you guessed it, just the one …

are now…well…fudged.

That post, mentioning some docs issues is um, from 2018 btw… just saying.

SO, gone full circular, back to the versioned documentation debate 😃

Finally, entering woo commerce tutorial into our documentation site,  
yields no relevant results.
