Installing OrillaCart is very easy, there are a few way’s to do that.

 Installation using WordPress Dashboard

Log-in to your WordPress dashboard. Go to Plugins > add new . This menu gives you two options to install your OrillaCart plugin:

  1.  Automatically install plugins from the WordPress Plugin Directory: In the search box blank field, type “OrillaCart”. After that click on the “Search plugins” button . In the search results you will see our OrillaCart. Below the name of the plugin you need to click on “Install Now” button, then activate the plugin and it’s done.
  2. Upload a plugin as .zip packed file: Go to Plugins > add new > Upload and Browse the latest release of orillacart Zip archive.

Activate the plugin “OrillaCart”.

Manual installation using FTP file manager
  1.  Unzip the latest release of OrillaCart. You can get it for free on WordPress.org extension directory.
  2.  Unzip the archive to  “/wp-content/plugins/” directory.
  3. Activate the plugin  through the Dashboard > Plugins menu > Installed Plugins in WordPress

If your installation of OrillaCart is successful you will see new menu “My Shop” in the WordPress Dashboard.

Go to OrillaCart front end by typing  http://www.your domain name.com/shop

OrillaCart creates automatically static Page called  “shop”. That page is the frontend of your store, you can change the page later from the plugin parameters.

Initial setup

Let’s start by setting up widgets.

OrillaCart package does not contain any custom taxonomies menu widget, so you have to download one and install it on your website. You should configure your menu widget from WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets. Please remember to add product categories and product brands from OrillaCart menu in order any content to appear.

If you want to add Shopping cart widget, go to WordPress widgets and search for Shopping Cart in Available Widgets.

After that we should set the shop related pages and menus. To bring up in the site menu: shopping cart, my account and checkout pages, go to WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Menus. The shop related pages box will not appear initially. You should go to Screen Options menu and select Shop related pages checkbox.

If you encounter 404 not found errors after trying to browse the created categories and products, then you need to update your WordPress permalink structure. To do so, you need to go to the permalink structure menu in WP admin and save it again. After doing the re-save you should be able to browse through the shop related parts of the site.
