Affliction - Multipurpose Minimal WordPress WooCommerce Theme 2.0

Affliction is a high-end Multipurpose Minimal WordPress Theme that masters the "art of omission." It is designed for users who want a professional e-commerce presence without the visual noise of traditional retail sites. By combining a minimalist aesthetic with the power of WooCommerce, it creates a sophisticated shopping environment where the products are the hero.

It is particularly effective for high-fashion brands, premium furniture stores, and minimalist lifestyle boutiques.

## Core Features

Minimalist Architecture: A focus on "White Space" and clean lines, ensuring that your site feels like a luxury gallery rather than a cluttered marketplace.

WooCommerce Deep Integration: Optimized for conversion with features like AJAX shopping carts, off-canvas filters, and rapid-load product grids.

Elementor Page Builder: Fully compatible with the drag-and-drop editor, allowing you to create custom layouts for your homepage, "About" page, and contact forms.

## Specialized E-commerce Tools

Product Quick View: Allows customers to see product details and "Add to Cart" via a stylish popup without leaving the shop page.

Off-Canvas Sidebar: Keeps your shop filters (size, color, price) hidden in a sleek slide-out menu, maintaining the minimal look of the main interface.

Hover-Flip Images: Showcases a secondary product image (like a back view or a lifestyle shot) when a user hovers over a product thumbnail.

Minimalist Checkout: A streamlined checkout experience designed to reduce cart abandonment by removing distractions.

Custom Fonts & Colors: Easy access to the Google Fonts library and a live color picker to match your specific branding.

WPML & RTL Ready: Fully capable of handling multi-language stores and right-to-left text.

Child Theme Included: Perfect for developers who want to add custom CSS or PHP functions safely.

## Why Choose Affliction?

Affliction is the "quiet luxury" of WordPress themes. It is for the brand that doesn't need to shout. It’s a perfect fit for:

Designer Fashion Labels: Where the photography does the selling.

Minimalist Tech Gadgets: Where the product features need clear, uncluttered space.

Handmade Ceramics/Art: Where the "Human" and "Organic" feel of the work is highlighted by the clean background.

Pro Tip: In a minimal theme like Affliction, photography is 90% of the design. Ensure all your product photos have a consistent background (e.g., all white or all light grey) to maintain the seamless, high-end look of the shop grids.

## Setup Sequence

Installation: Upload the affliction.zip file.

Plugin Setup: Activate the required "Affliction Core" and WooCommerce.

Demo Import: Use the one-click importer to set up the minimal grid structures.

Logo & Nav: Use the WordPress Customizer to upload a high-quality SVG logo—SVG icons look much sharper in minimal themes.
