## Description

Never lose the changes you make to your style sheets in an update of the OrderStorm
e-Commerce plugin. The OrderStorm eCommerce Custom Files Manager sets up a second
folder called **orderstorm-wordpress-e-commerce-custom** that contains a duplicate
set of .css files for your shopping cart. You no longer need to worry about creating
a separate backup of your style sheets prior to an upgrade. By using the OrderStorm
eCommerce Custom Files Manager, its done for you. After the plugin is installed,
make all changes to the OrderStorm e-Commerce .css files in the Custom Files Manager
plugin edit screen instead of to the .css files in the main plugin.

**CAUTION: Make a backup before an upgrade.**

### Setup

**Note**: You must have the OrderStorm e-Commerce plugin installed to use this plugin.

 1. To change the look of your shopping cart categories and products, go to the Plugin
    page. Then go to OrderStorm eCommerce Files Manager plugin, click on ‘Edit’.
 2. The .css files controlling the appearance of the categories, subcategories and 
    products are here. You can completely customize colors, fonts, product display,
    product box sizes etc.
 3. Make all of your style changes here, not in the .css files that came with the OrderStorm
    eCommerce plugin itself.
 4. OrderStorm will overwrite the main plugin .css files when we issue updates to the
    shopping cart functionality. If an orderstorm-wordpress-e-commerce-custom folder
    exists and your .css files are stored in this separate folder, the OrderStorm eCommerce
    plugin will check here first and display these files first so your changes will
    not be lost with an update. If no orderstorm-wordpress-e-commerce-custom folder
    exists, the plugin will display the default .css files. You will have to back them
    up manually before you update your shopping cart.

#### Customize Appearance

Go to the User Manual on http://www.OrderStorm.com for assistance with customizing
the .css files. Look for the page, CSS Help, http://www.orderstorm.com/wordpress-
ecommerce/wordpress-shopping-cart-user-manual/css-help/

    Manager plugin .zip file. Click ‘Choose’ followed by the ‘Install Now’ button.

## FAQ

  How do I change the style sheets?

This works great because you can make changes to the templates and CSS files and
then, when you update the core e-commerce plugin the changes are not overwritten!
This works like a child theme.
