Awesome plug-in! I just downloaded it tonight, using it for the first time and I think I'm going to have to support the product because it was so painless to use.
Just one minor question though, the category description isn't showing up anywhere. Is that a gold only feature or am I doing something wrong?
Hey ens0.
Can you please post the link to your site so that we can see what you mean... it should be there. Have a play with the shop settings though just to make sure. Otherwise post a support request in the forums www.instinct.co.nz/blogshop with links etc to the site in question and somebody will help...
Thanks for the quick reply!
The site that I'm helping my friend out with is here: http://www.hippopink.com/.
Please let me know what's going wrong. It's not a big deal but it would be great if we could get it to work. You can contact us through the website, thanks!

Hi Why E-Commerce Don't Support UTF-8 And Russian Lang ?
Hi Daniel. It will very soon... thanks to you :)
Hello mufasa!
Plying around with your plug here (maybe you get a swedish translation sent to you soon - but there are a certain amount of english outside the lanuage.php-file, so you might get a whole version).
In the help it says that you can get emailed each time someone buys something if you enter your email in the Purchase log - but there is nowhere to enter the adress! Is that a Gold only thing?
One more thing - the thumbnails. When resizing them, standard order is widht and height (not height and widht). Its extra confusing cause the dimensions are shown as it should be (widht x height) besides the image.
And one last things - th category image - where should it show up? It only shows up in my admin interface - not at the outside for everyone. Ideas?
Can this plugin handle the sale of downloadable items?
Haecceity: It can.
You enter your email address in the shop options page. I might add a little pointer to that in the purchase log page - just to make it more obvious for you guys.
Not only can you upload files but if you grab the MP3 preview upgrade you can setup MP3 listen buttons for your sounds :)
Lonetrotter, thanks for keeping an eye on these forums. What is your shop URL?
Ciao,
Dan
Thanks for the info. It looks like a good product, and I was pleased to see the various examples of the shopping cart looking so varied in their styling.
I'll do a bit more research but I'll almost certainly give it a whirl to see if it's a suitable replacement for x-cart, which I've been using for a few years. If anything, the low price is a bit off-putting, but as a Scot I find that nothing is ever too inexpensive.
One of my favorite plugins, good to see the continued development!
Dan, thanks for clarifying the location of the email address. I've entered the email address, but have still not received order notifications. And the customers are not receiving either. Any idea? The payment log is displaying the orders. The website is www.paint-puddles.com if that helps.
And finally, I've been unable to get the RSS feed to work also. It seems to point back to the Instinct Dev site.
Thanks for the feedback. Great plugin.
Dan (Mufasa) - I have mainly tried it out local - with only short time tests online. But thinking of integrate it at the future site of an environmental organisation I will make a site for. But need to custimize it some for that purose though... But from what I read at yor site - you are nice guys, so I hope you will let me.
;o)
You think maybe we can get a little help with styling it without having to purchase a support token?
Hi Guys. I'm glad that you're liking the plugin!
lonetrotter - you can make changes we would just appreciate it if you released those changes back to us to add to the main plugin - that way when you update to the next version your mods are included, of course this is up to our discreation but if its a feature then the chances are that we will add it for you :)
menwuur - please contact me directly and we'll get onto the styling for you :)
dan @ instinct . co . nz (just remove the spaces)
Dan - I am still interested in contributing the quantity based shipping to the cart, and also, reduced item price based on quantity. Basically, you would have one item with a price for 1-9, 10-19 etc.
I would probably need a little assistance in jump starting the add on in the form of function location, program flow etc. Is this something you can help with ?
Brant
Hey Mate, We'd love to have you on board and helping :)
Can you please email me dan @ instinct . co . nz and we can discuss it in some more detail.
We can probably offer you a good jump start as well - you can chat to us on skype :)
What happened to the swedish languagefile i sent to Dan mufasa? You didnt like it - or what?
Sorry. It'll be in the next version I promise!!! Along with lots of little enhancements and fixes :)
Dan - I missed your reply here ! I will be in contact over the next few days to make a start on the Volume based shipping / item options. I posted on your forums but haven't seen any responses yet ! I will Skype you soon.
Hi all:
i've just activated the instinct shopping cart plugin
It's AWESOME
i have been searching high and low for this ULTIMATE question i badly need answers to.
I am surprised that this question isn't popular:
The category images for instinct shopping cart will not show in the shop.
no matter the products page, the category page, i just can't get it to show up
It shows up when i upload the image when i create a category
but not in the shop
How do i get it to work, i have been going through the e-commerce options again and again and i don't see how to get it to work
i believe it isn't a gold version only feature
please help me ANYONE
Thanks in advanced
Tom
This may or may not be a similiar problem to what Tom posted about ... on my products page the thumbnails show but the product description is obscuring the product image.
I've changed image sizes but with no luck as the product title also seems to default and fall across the image.
The site is using WP 2.1 and is located at
If anyone has encountered this before and is able to assist I'd be grateful to know.
Many countries are known for their high percentage of fraud. Is there a way to screen these countries out before they purchase something? And can we also screen according to their IP address? Thanks.
Hey Guys,
Dan here from Instinct.

The next version of WP e-Commerce (2.4.8) due out soon has Category images (re)implemented and now as an option that you can turn on/off.
Shop Options > Presentation Settings
Show Category Thumbnails:Yes/No
webDressing:
There is currently no facility to screen bad countries or IP addresses. You can email me about that dan at instinct dot co.nz

Sounds like an old K2 bug that has been fixed. I would make sure you are using the most up2date theme and plugin.
>> DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION 3.4.7
>> PS - TRY OUT GOLD MODULE & GRID VIEW
Dan, we just downloaded the latest version 3.4.7 the other day to see if it made any difference, but no joy. We have also updated to WP 2.1.2
Any other suggestions greatly appreciated. From the post's we've read this is a fantastic plug-in once it is working.
The chalk outline is here,
http://www.julianpegler.com/?page_id=22&category=4
but I suspect it's not the actual scene of the crime.
You just need to change the settings in the shop options page.
Goto Shop Options > Presentation
Change the Cart Location to Sidebar :)
There is currently no facility to screen bad countries or IP addresses.
Would be very easy to add. The admin could simply select which countries and IP's to block. Then if someone wanted to use the cart from any of those listed countries, they would simply be re-directed to another page saying something like "We're sorry, we do not allow purchases from that area. Please contact the admin for furthur information". Anyone selling 'Virtual' products (anything downloadable or subscribed to) needs this as the credit cards and PayPal do not protect the merchant from these kinds of chargebacks.
On another note, what would cause the large gap seen here under the words 'Shopping Cart'? All we did was activate it and that's how it shows up...
If I buy it, will it work? I am using Wordpress 2.1.2 and Beta 3.4.7. So far I have had nothing but trouble. When you add items to the cart, they don't. The cart doesn't update because items aren't being added. What is going on? Im not using any other plugins (except one), just Wordpress 2.1.2, the widgets plugin and wp-e-commerce.
I love this plugin. Super easy to install and has tons of features. I was wondering if there might be a tutorial on it for those of us who aren't that great at figuring out how to incorporate it into our templates and customize it to look the way we want to?
