Techmarket

WordPress & WooCommerce theme

Techmarket, by MadrasThemes, is a WooCommerce theme aimed at wide screens and dense catalogues: products can be laid out in 2 to 8 columns, shop pages come in thirteen variants, single products in three layouts, and the demo set covers electronics, glass, shoes, garden tools, organics, sports and multi-vendor markets. This article covers the column and sidebar decisions behind those pages, the shop modules a companion plugin supplies, how demo content differs from the live demo, and where the vendor's support ends on multi-vendor plugins.

A shop built for the 1920px screen

Techmarket's description starts from a measurement rather than a mood board. The vendor argues that many shoppers browse at 1920px wide, so sites confined to a 1170px or 980px grid are showing fewer products than the screen could hold. The stated concept is to use that space cleanly and still fit a lot in.

That premise explains the theme's most concrete setting: products can be displayed in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 columns. The demo pages carry the numbers in their names too, from Categories 7 Column to Shop Grid 5 Column Extended.

Whether eight columns is wise is a judgement the description cannot make for you. The vendor calls the theme responsive, but nothing in the supplied material describes how an eight-column grid reflows on a tablet. Treat high column counts as a desktop choice and look at your own views before committing a large category to them.

Thirteen shop pages, and the two choices behind them

The shop page list separates decisions that are often bundled together. Shop Listing Large, Shop Listing, Shop Listing with Product Sidebar and Shop Listing Small with Product Sidebar form a list-versus-grid plus sidebar group; Shop Right Sidebar and Shop Full Width are explicit about which side the navigation sits on; Shop List View Small answers the case where rows suit better than a grid.

Settle the sidebar before the column count. A product sidebar narrows the grid, so a count that looked tidy full width may crowd. That ordering matters for the categories demo pages as well, since Categories and Categories 7 Column are separate layouts rather than one template with a setting.

Around those pages sit three single product layouts — Single Product Extended, Single Product Fullwidth and Single Product Sidebar — so product detail pages can match the sidebar decision made on the shop page.

Seven shop demos and moving content between them

The vendor lists seven shop demos: Electronics Market, Glass Market, Shoes Market, Garden Market, Organic Market, Sports Market and Multi Market. There are also eight home page styles and two landing pages.

Those are demo sets, not separate themes. The vendor says content from any single home page or shop page can be transferred into another one easily, which suggests the sections are built to be reused rather than tied to one layout. It means the demo whose header you liked is not a trap; you can work from one shop demo and pull a page from another.

What the description does not cover is how much rework follows a transfer. Sections move, but product imagery, menus and category structure still have to be rebuilt around your own catalogue.

Product page modules that borrow from marketplaces

On the product page, the vendor points at large retail sites explicitly: accessories "like in amazon", an advanced specifications tab, advanced reviews and a custom product comparison page.

Each of those asks something of you. Accessories management pays off where products genuinely have add-ons — cameras with lenses, tools with bits — and is largely dead weight on a store selling single-part goods. The specifications tab only earns its space if you enter structured attributes, so products can be compared on the same fields rather than a paragraph of prose each.

Catalog Mode is the setting with the broadest effect, because it lets the store present products without the transactional flow. That suits distribution or wholesale sites where prices are quoted on request. For a retail store it removes the reason most visitors arrived, so it is a business decision rather than a stylistic one. The separate custom comparison page and the YITH-based wishlist and compare features assume the corresponding plugins are installed and at a version the theme supports.

What the Techmarket Extensions plugin carries

A large share of the advertised shop features live in a companion plugin, Techmarket Extensions, rather than in the theme folder. The vendor attributes advanced live search, a YouTube-style page loader, the advanced vertical menu, megamenu dropdowns, product carousels and carousel tabs, isotope grids, product tabs, a deals carousel with a countdown timer, category filters and carousels, a store directory, accessories management and advanced product specifications to it.

The split is worth knowing before you plan edits. Carousels, tabs and the vertical menu decide how your own home page and navigation are assembled, and they survive deleting demo content. Advanced live search affects every search box on the site, so test it against your product names early — a catalogue full of long model numbers behaves differently from one with plain product names.

Because these arrive as a plugin, updates are a second moving part. The supplied material does not describe how the plugin is updated alongside the theme, so it is worth confirming with the vendor.

Underscores underneath, and what demo import really gives you

The vendor says the theme is built on the Underscores framework, with lean code meant to be extended through a child theme or custom plugins. King Composer and Slider Revolution are named as integrations, while Visual Composer is listed as supported but not included with the theme. The marketplace record marks Gutenberg Optimized as No, which describes the theme's optimisation posture rather than removing the block editor.

The demo import expectation is the detail most likely to disappoint if you skip it. The vendor states that importing the bundled dummy data produces a site similar to the demo site but populated with placeholders and default WooCommerce products, not a copy of the live demo; demo-matching data must be requested from support. The import is image-heavy and needs a higher PHP execution time, images can be skipped, and an import that stops midway is usually a timeout to re-run rather than a reason to start over.

Marketplace attributes observed on 4 November 2026 declare compatibility with WordPress 7.0.x, WooCommerce 10.x.x, Elementor and WPBakery Page Builder. Those are vendor and marketplace declarations, not results from running the theme on your host.

Multi-vendor: supported, but with a clear support boundary

Techmarket is listed as compatible with Dokan, WC Vendors, WC Vendors Pro, WCFM Marketplace and MultiVendorX, each of which the vendor notes has a free version. Multi-vendor selling is not native to WooCommerce, so those plugins do the vendor-side work.

The vendor draws the line plainly. Problems inside Dokan, WC Vendors or WCFM fall outside its support; interface problems the theme causes while those plugins are active, such as a broken form, are its responsibility. That leaves two support relationships in a marketplace build, one for the storefront and one for onboarding, commissions and payouts.

Read the compatibility claim as one about how the storefront renders with those plugins, not about how a marketplace with hundreds of vendors performs. Nothing in the supplied material measures that.

Questions & answers

Can I try Techmarket before buying?

The vendor says it recommends trialling the theme and will set up a trial site, including the plugins you want to test with, if you ask through its support channel. How that trial is arranged is a question for the vendor.

Which page builder are the demos built with?

The vendor names King Composer and Slider Revolution as integrations and lists Visual Composer as supported but not included. Marketplace attributes also declare Elementor and WPBakery Page Builder compatibility. The supplied material does not say which builder assembled which demo, so confirm that with the vendor if you plan to keep editing demo layouts.

Does the theme include a multi-vendor marketplace?

No. It is listed as compatible with Dokan, WC Vendors, WC Vendors Pro, WCFM Marketplace and MultiVendorX, but vendor management comes from those third-party plugins. The theme author handles interface problems caused by the theme, not faults inside the plugins.

Aardvark

Aardvark is a GhostPool WordPress theme whose vendor description builds a gated community rather than a brochure: the site can be restricted until a visitor logs in, with a dashboard as the destination afterwards, then layered with BuddyPress profiles, Paid Memberships Pro levels that can serve different homepages per tier, Sensei courses and a WooCommerce store. The article covers what each of those layers does, how the bundled Youzify and Ultimate Reviewer plugins fit, and which plugins the theme expects you to install yourself.

Act

Act, by KlbTheme, is organised around raising money rather than around a page builder: the seller lists a crowdfunding system, GiveWP, Stripe, PayPal and offline donation routes, and templates for causes, events and a WooCommerce shop. This article follows the donation toolkit, the cause and event structure, the WPBakery-first editing workflow with its later Elementor demo, and the theme options panel that controls fonts and typography. Declared compatibility and archive contents are read as the seller's claims, not as tested results.

Adrenalin

Adrenalin is a CommerceGurus WooCommerce theme whose most useful settings are switches rather than layouts: catalog mode removes the cart and turns the shop into a browsable catalogue, quick view and a size guide are toggled from the options, and listing pages can be set to a list or grid with left, right or no sidebar. The vendor description also pairs a WPML language-and-currency topbar with predictive Ajax search and a megamenu, while the changelog for 2024 and 2025 shows maintenance concentrated on WPBakery and LayerSlider versions rather than new design.
