  14. Questions about LT Leaven

LT Leaven is a WooCommerce block theme for shops that sell sourdough, pastry and celebration-cake e-books, recorded baking classes and printable recipe cards as instant downloads. It comes with an open-book hero, format chips, preview spreads, a book covers grid, a class curriculum, a personal / teaching licence table and a baker's schedule, all built on WooCommerce's own blocks for the shop, product, cart and checkout pages. Pro Unlimited adds an AI kit so an assistant can rebrand the store and write your book and class pages without breaking the design.

AI kit (Pro Unlimited)

With Pro Unlimited, an AI assistant can read the theme's rules and rebrand Leaven, write book and class pages with formats, page counts and licences, and update the curriculum, schedule and licence table without breaking the blocks. On a live site it can also import the demo, switch styles and draft landing pages through WordPress Abilities.

Example prompt: Set up this LT Leaven store for my baking shop "Crumb Notes Kitchen" (sample). Titles: Weeknight Focaccia (e-book, 88 pages, PDF + ePub), Choux at Home (video class, 6 lessons, 1 h 30 min) and Pie Crust Cards (16 A6 recipe cards). Licences: Personal $24, Teaching $79. Email: [email protected]. Use the Raspberry style with my brand colour #7A2E45, rewrite the homepage, the curriculum and the licence table, keep the allergen lines as placeholders and mark anything I have not confirmed as sample.

See AI kit for the files, the prompts and the Abilities.

Questions about LT Leaven

Can LT Leaven sell e-books and video classes in the same shop?

Yes. The demo products are virtual and downloadable WooCommerce products: e-books with PDF and ePub files, classes with MP4 lessons and PDF notes, and printable recipe cards. You attach your own files in Product data → Downloadable files.

Can I offer a book in more than one format?

Yes. Make the book a variable product with a Format attribute (for example PDF, ePub and PDF + ePub) and give each variation its own price and files, as the demo does.

Can I give away a free sample chapter?

Yes. The demo has a free downloadable product at a price of zero, and the header's Free sample link points to it. Customers check out without paying and get the download link.

Does the theme make nutrition or allergen claims?

No. Recipe products carry an allergen placeholder line for you to fill in from your own recipes, and the theme copy avoids nutrition and health claims.

Are the book covers and preview pages included?

The theme ships illustrated sample covers and spreads so the layout looks complete. Replace them with your own covers and real pages from your books.

Can I use it for other cooking downloads?

Yes. The format chips, preview pages, curriculum, file list and licence table suit any recipe or cooking course shop, such as cookery e-books or meal-prep classes.
