Tosca – A Fresh Creative Portfolio & Ecommerce WordPress Theme Overview
This is a long-lived portfolio theme from liviu_cerchez, built around a modular page template whose builder composes sections from colour blocks, text, images, sliders, video, maps, audio and project galleries. Parallax headings above those sections can be driven by an image, a video or a slider.
The shop side is handled unusually well. WooCommerce styling is applied through hooks rather than by replacing template files, so the design is far less likely to break when the plugin updates, with product image zoom and AJAX add to cart on top.
The item number is old; the record is not. The marketplace shows an update in late October 2025 and declares compatibility with the current WordPress series and the tenth WooCommerce series, so the listing’s age is no reason to pass it over.

Who Tosca – A Fresh Creative Portfolio & Ecommerce WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
Photographers, illustrators and small studios selling prints or merchandise beside a portfolio are the clear fit, as are agencies wanting a shop for a short product line without a separate site. Freelancers get the same structure at one-person scale.
The theme is not the shop. Inventory, orders, tax tables, shipping and checkout belong to WooCommerce; the theme supplies the look of the catalogue, product and cart pages plus the two behaviours above. Canadian sellers need provincial tax set correctly, every mandatory fee in the displayed price, and a returns policy visible before the order is placed.
Important Notes About Tosca – A Fresh Creative Portfolio & Ecommerce WordPress Theme
The shortcodes, widgets, meta options and project post type are held in a separate plugin. The consequence is the usual one: deactivate it and the content stops rendering, so it is part of the running site rather than an optional extra.
Password-protected galleries use WordPress’s own post password: one shared password hides a page’s contents, but it is not a client account and does not stop anyone reaching an image file at its own address. Proofing, delivery and print ordering need a dedicated service. No release history is published, so nothing documents the ten years since launch and the packaged version cannot date the download. The documentation site works and is theme-specific. Gravity Forms sits in the declared record unadvertised. Quebec adds distance-contract rules and French-language obligations for sites serving that market. AppiAppi gives no legal advice.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
AppiAppi installs the theme with its companion plugin, imports the demo, then rebuilds the module layouts around the customer’s projects, with parallax headings set to media that survives full-bleed display. Galleries, filters and single project pages are organised so each piece of work has its own indexable page.
Where a shop is included, products are loaded with all-in prices, provincial tax rules, shipping and a returns policy published before checkout. Images are compressed and sized for grid and product zoom. AppiAppi supplies AI-assisted SEO and content support, applies theme, plugin and WooCommerce updates, answers enquiries and orders, and manages the site on the chosen plan.
