First thanks a lot for the theme, I have been very happy using the free version and I am hoping that premium will be even better.

Second a couple of notes on upgrading from free to premium whicjh I hope will be useful for your next version:

1) I had created custom side-bars in free and after upgrade the names of the side bars remained but the assigned widgets had either disappeared or were transferred into various footer columns
2) The settings for primary and secondary menus also disappeared.
3) I had successfully used a third part widget to include short codes in side bars to feature pages – a list of products by category that are relevant to the feature eg on a feature page about xyz [product_category category=”vxyz” order=”asc”]. Under premium this no longer works.

I am now trying to replicate the functionality at (3) using “native” premium functions. Your advice on how best to do this would be appreciated. However, in trying to get my head around this I have come across numerous references to “product category pages” eg adding side bars to them in your “shop settings”, but so far I have been unable to track down how to create “product category pages” other than by adding a short code (as above) to for example a feature page. Can you clarify the best way to create them?
