Help Guides
This page is for Deja Vu staff who administer the website. It is not for public view, but has some handy videos that can be used to quickly show how to edit/change/update various pages or stories on the deja-vu.co.nz website.
You will notice some pages use a page builder to more easily create a different layout, e.g. where columns are needed. The homepage uses Divi Builder to create the layout. Below there are also guides to how Divi Page Builder works.
There is also a guide to the Woocommerce shop which goes through how to add, edit and remove products. Please use in conjunction with the “Simple Guide” sent.
These videos should be watched in conjunction with the user guides which are more detailed, but will probably make more sense after viewing the videos.

This video covers the various functions of the shopping cart installed on your website. As this video is about an hour long it is suggested that you use the timestamps listed below to jump to a particular section you need to know more about.
The Simple video guide above showing you how to how to add products to your shop using the Woocommerce system has the basic fundamentals for adding products to your shop.
If you are relatively comfortable with using WordPress then this video will point you further along the right direction, but for more in depth detail view the main Woocommerce video.
This is a demo shop in the video that was used as display only, hence the strange product setting. I suggest setting your products to the “Simple Product” setting if it only comes in one size and price. If you have more than one size, colour or price options then you need to use the ‘variable product’ option.
