This may be a silly question, but I’ll ask anyway.
Did you add the image to the page? eShop doesn’t add images to the actual page itself.
I’m confused…. the page is http://savannahbikinimaids.com/maids/ and i’m trying to put the listing image in the product box, the tan colored one, right next to the drop-down option and add to cart.
Is that something i can’t do in the eShop?

Please accept my apologies! I totally mis-understood what you were asking.
I’m sorry to say that no you can’t do that.
I am not sure if katerinawilk and I were trying to accomplish the same outcome or not, so I thought I would follow-up with a question of my own within this topic…
In WordPress Admin, when I add a product to eshop via a post (as opposed to a page), I choose “Add Image” and upload a new image in order to add the product image to the post, then I save. After saving, I then go to “Product Entry” > “Choose Listing Image” and confirm the current image for that product is correct.
On the front end, I can see the product images are being displayed when I view a single/specific product. My problem is when I choose to “browse by price” or “by type”, a number of products are displayed but without their associated images (the border and correct ‘alt’ tags are present, but there is no image to view). I have reviewed the source code and am finding img src="" is present, in the correct structure within my content div, but blank/empty.
What do I need to change or do differently in order for the product images to properly display when a user is browsing the store?
(Sorry for being long winded but I just wanted to be sure I was accurately describing my problem and symptoms).
Thank you for your help! eshop is great!

browse by price? that isn’t an eShop feature.
I’d need to see the page in question, and if related I’d need to know the eShop shortcode used as well.
I have created pricing and product categories via WordPress (i.e. “Over $500”, “Under $100”, or “Electronics”, etc.). I then use standard WordPress codex to search products within those categories. For example, if I search for “Electronics”, I see the specific electronics-products appear, with their correct information, only without their images.

So basically you just add them to relevant categories.
Ok I see you have a problem – I have no idea as to why though, so a few thoughts:
1. – is the image uploaded and attached to the correct post – the ipod nano image for example is attached to this page:
http://visionworks.com/test/mwp/?p=42
(easy way to check – edit page, choose a media tab, if the gallery is empty then nothing is attached.
2. On a standard WP category listing page WP will show the content of your posts upto the ..more.. – so if an image is before that then it would show. So I can’t see how or why what has happened has erm happened.
3. On a standard WP search – images aren’t shown, and you need to enable that option within eShop’s settings.
4. what other plugins do you have?
1. Yes, the image is attached to the post (the iPod does show up in the Gallery).
2. I understand what you mean. The image has been posted as the very first entity within the post.
3. I have enabled images to be displayed in search results for all pages and posts through eshop settings.
4. This is currently our only activated plugin.
Katerinawilk’s site seems to be able to pull images correctly (browse “maids” and then each maids’ images appears with their name) so I know it should work…but I am at a loss as to why it does not.
I do really appreciate your effort in helping me. Thank you.

ok a few more queries, in the hopes that we’ll find the culprit.
Is it a standard installation in that the images are stored in the wp-content/uploads directory?
can you try with a different theme, like one of the default ones that come with WordPress.
It may not have been a standard installation – I am finding the images upload to wp-content but NOT the /uploads folder.
If I switch themes to test, will anything be lost (I have edited some of the PHP in the “E-Commerce white” theme)

hmm not a usual place for images to be uploaded to. What does your setting on the misc-settings page say for store uploads in the this folder? mine is the default wp-content/uploads
Switching themes shouldn’t affect things in the slightest. “e-commerce white theme” – I wouldn’t have thought that was designed for eshop but should work all the same.
I tried setting up wp-content/uploads as the default location, but had problems. However wp-content/uploads/image did work.
Thank you for suggesting switching themes. I did not end up needing to as I (finally) figured out what the issue was, however I would have caught it if I had switched.
The problem was the E-Commerce White theme was not correctly pulling the full product content from the database when using the get_post_meta() function. So, I used your eshop “shortcode” code for pulling Featured Product images and changed the variables in order for it to work!
Let me again say thank you for all of your help. It did not turn out to be an eshop-related issue afterall, but I appreciate all the effort you put into assisting me nonetheless!

I’m relieved that it wasn’t an eShop issue, and glad you got things sorted.
