WordPress Theme: Tyche

Tyche is a free WordPress theme designed for eCommerce and online stores. It is WooCommerce-ready and comes with customizable layouts for product showcases.

  1. In Appearance → Themes → Add New, search for Tyche.
  2. Click Install, then Activate.

WooCommerce Setup

  1. After activation, install and activate the WooCommerce plugin if not already installed.
  2. Complete the setup wizard:
    • Store address

    • Shipping
    • Payment methods

Fixing Homepage Slider

You may need to install additional plugins to fix the homepage slider and widgets after disabling the default homepage slider on Tyche theme:

  • Smart Slider → For homepage sliders and banners.
  • Classic Widgets → To manage traditional sidebar/footer widgets.

Fixing Top Search for Products

By default, Tyche’s top search bar does not always filter WooCommerce products correctly.
To fix this:

  • Navigate to Appearance → Theme File Editor.
  • Open the file: page-templates/template-parts/top-header.php
  • Find the class:
<input type="search" class="search-field-top-bar" ...>
  • After this line, insert the following hidden input:
<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="product">

This ensures that the top search bar only searches for WooCommerce products.
