Add Genesis Layouts and Theme SEO Settings to iThemes Exchange

iThemes Exchange is a simple ecommerce solution for your WordPress website, whether you sell digital or physical products, have a membership site, or just want to invoice clients. The simplicity of the product edit screen makes it easy to add products quickly. iThemes Exchange has everything that you need for a basic product available to use quickly, but also has an Advanced section, that has all the extras.

If you prefer to use the Genesis Framework for theme development, you’ll miss having the option to choose from the Genesis Layout Settings for particular products. And most important, the built-in Genesis SEO Settings are missing.

But StudioPress (Genesis) makes it really easy to add these features to your Exchange Product edit screen with one line of code. And iThemes has the Genesis settings integrate beautifully into the Advanced tab section of Exchange.

Just add this line to your Genesis child theme functions.php using a text editor.

// Add Genesis Layout and Theme SEO Settings to iThemes Exchange Add Products screen */
add_post_type_support( 'it_exchange_prod', array( 'genesis-layouts', 'genesis-seo' ) );

‘it_exchange_prod’ is the custom post type for the Exchange products. ‘genesis-layouts’ and ‘genesis-seo’ add the layouts and the seo, of course.

That’s all you need to integrate some of your favorite Genesis settings into iThemes Exchange.

    I was wondering which e-commerce solution do you prefer, Woocommerce or iThemes Exchange?

    I don’t have experience with either plugin and, I’ve heard setting them up can be very involved and complex…

    Thank you for a great Post!

      Hi, Marcus! Woocommerce and iThemes Exchange are both great products. It really depends on what your needs are. I love how easy it is to get started with iThemes Exchange; it’s really simple to set up, and then you can turn on add-ons as you need them. It’s pretty minimalist in styling too. But it can’t do everything that Woocommerce can do because of all the third party add-ons and themes.
