Creating your Products Page

Create a page like you normally would in WordPress. In my example, we’ll give it the page title of “Shopping Cart”. In the Page Content section add the following code:
%%antique%%
Also, make sure under ‘Page Template’ you are using ‘Default Template’ as some WordPress themes have an archives template.
Press the publish button and you’re done. You’ll now have a “Shopping Cart” page.
You can also create a custom page template by dropping the following code into a page:
antique_productcategories()
In order to work properly, this tag needs to be within the WordPress loop. For more information on creating custom page templates, click here.

Adjusting CSS and Template Styling

Antique Shop comes with a default layout and theme. To change the style and layout of the shopping cart, copy them/edit antique_theme.php and theme/antique_style.css to your active theme’s folder, and edit them. Antique Shop uses a system of template tags similar to the WordPress theme system. To view a list of available tags, please read tags.txt
