Why is the cart not working? Things don't update properly, or certain features don't work.

First thing is disable all other plugins. Occasionally problems can be related to incompatibilities. If you still have errors after that post a message to the discussion group.

Why has the cart stopped working?

Have you installed a new plugin lately? Or have you updated other plugins? If so, try disabling (see previous answer).

I'd like to get help installing/configuring YAK, add a new feature, and/or modify the functionality

Please get in contact.

Why doesn't my post show up properly as a product?

Have you setup your categories correctly? At the very least you should have a "Products" category, with a "Default" child category. The child category should be selected on your post.

Why don't my confirmation emails arrive?

Usually mailing problems can be traced to hosting issues. Try installing something like WP-Mail-SMTP, so that WP mail goes via SMTP.

Why doesn't YAK have its own top-level menu (why do I have to hunt through the WP menus)?

Earlier versions of YAK did have a top-level menu. This was back when WordPress had a horizontal menu at the top of the page. There were some complaints about the use of screen real-estate, particularly when you had a lot of plugins installed. One of the suggestions was to integrate more tightly with WordPress, hence the YAK menus were moved into Tools (where you'll find Products, Orders and Sales Reports), and Settings (where you'll find the YAK settings page).

What tags can I use in my posts or pages?

The following tags are available:

• [yak_checkout] - display the yak checkout in the page.

• [yak_order_id] - display the customers order id/number

• [yak_order_value] - display the total value of the current order

• [yak_price] - display the price of the product (including discount if set)

• [yak_price_std] - display the price of the product without discount

• [yak_buy] - display the buy button

• [yak_buy_begin] - include the 'html form' part of the buy button (use if you want to split up the button code)

• [yak_buy_content] - include the 'html input' part of the buy button

• [yak_buy_end] - include the end of the html form of the buy button

• [yak_cleanup] - cleanup order details (i.e. remove order details)

• [yak_paypal_pdt_success] and [yak_paypal_pdt_failure] - handler for PayPal's PDT (Payment Data Transfer) response. Text after the first tag is displayed on a successful purchase, text after the second tag is displayed on an unsuccessful purchase

• [yak_product_page] - display a full list of products (with paging if necessary)

• [yak_get_remote_n] - retrieve the contents of a product (where 'n' is the post id) from a remote YAK server
