Fatal error is_product()
I've been having some installation problems where I get a fatal error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_product()
Sharing the solution in case someone else has this issue - the function is_product relates to the WooCommerce plugin, if you're working on a website (like mine) where no products or transactions are being sold - you have to enable the WooCommerce otherwise this error occurs.
This seems to me to be a flaw with the theme (which I otherwise am enjoying working with) - the call to action on my site is to contact me via email, not selling products and so it makes sense to deactivate the e-shopping plugin. If the theme is going to use a function from a plugin that is not always relevant, then there should be a test to see if the function exists/WooCommerce is activated.
To get the theme to work I'm enabling the plugin, but hiding all the associated components such as shopping basket etc. While I can edit the code to prevent the call to is_product, I would have to amend the code every time the theme is updated, so I'm hoping the authors will sort this out.
Cheers!

we suggest to remove all theme files and import them once again but thru FTP only. Do the same with the plugins of course. But if this won't help, you need to re-install whole WP.
Thanks!
