Millennio WordPress theme documentation, step 3: Theme Setup

Before starting the setup, please install and setup the WooCommerce plugin. During the setup process, you will need to set up store address, set payment methods, and shipping methods. WooCommerce will also create all pages that are required for a shop – Shop, Cart, Checkout, and My Account.

To set up the theme, please follow the next steps:

1. First, go to Pages -> Add New, and create pages Home, About, Journal, and Contact. For Home page set the Front Page template, while the other pages should use the Default template.
