QB Theme Demo Setup companion plugins
Provide each independent WooCommerce theme with an optional, repeat-safe fictional demo catalog setup workflow.
Workflows
- Separate setup plugins are available for QB Grove, QB Velocity, and QB Pantry.
- Administrators can run the setup from the WordPress Tools screen.
- The importer creates or reuses its own marked records, copies theme-local demo images, and fills the primary menu location only when empty.
Implementation
- Each importer is packaged separately from its theme presentation layer.
- Admin actions check capabilities and nonces.
- Stable markers allow repeat imports while preserving merchant products, pages, orders, users, store settings, and menu assignments.
Integrations
- WordPress administration and WooCommerce catalog data.
Interface evidence gap: The local project files include importer source and guides, but no authenticated admin-interface screenshots; no mockup is used.

06 / PROJECT NOTES
Approach & implementation
Overview
The Theme Factory is the project behind QB Grove, QB Velocity and QB Pantry. It includes a repeatable process for assembling an independent theme, adding theme-specific visual assets, testing it in isolated local WordPress and WooCommerce environments, and building an installable ZIP.
System boundaries
Each theme keeps its own implementation and local visual assets. WooCommerce core provides commerce data and transaction flows; demo setup remains a separate optional companion plugin. This keeps theme presentation separate from store data and import tools.
Verified workflow
Current project documentation records theme source and package parity, PHP lint on PHP 8.1 and 8.4, JavaScript and JSON checks, image-hash validation, isolated WordPress activation and selected responsive and storefront checks. Earlier synthetic checkout and repeat-import evidence is retained in the QA reports.
Current status
The three themes have local installable candidate packages. They are still in development and are not represented as approved or ready for a marketplace listing. Image redistribution rights, public support, public demos and additional compatibility review remain open in the source project’s status report.
