Eshop css doesn't work when I change uploads location.

I installed the eshop plugin some time ago in a developing wordpress site on an XP localhost server install and changed the display settings under the FORMS section of the plugins/eshop/files/eshop.css display file to match the color scheme of my site. Everything went just fine.

In the process of setting up security measures over the last few days, just yesterday I noticed that the css “product entry” formatting changes I had made previously on my product pages was completely gone. Mind you, this was after a couple of eshop updates here and there through Dashboard.

After much searching, thought, and an error message that related to the eshop_style.php file, the “file_get_contents” thing on line 84 in that file, the Uploads folder, and the eshop.css file location, I finally tracked the problem down to the Uploads folder.

Through Dashboard/settings/media, I had changed the location of uploaded files to another directory in the site. I checked the Uploads folder and saw the eshop.css file there, along with several other eshop files. When I changed the Uploads location back to the Uploads folder, the problem went away and my css product entry styling was back.

I shut everything down, thinking the last eshop update would move the necessary uploaded files to whatever directory they belonged in and the problem would be resolved. When I rebooted, I noticed that the same eshop files were still in the Uploads folder, and when I changed the Upload files location again, the styling problem returned.

Questions:
Do these uploaded eshop files need to “live” in the Uploads folder, or some place in the eshop directories?

Or, do I need to move them and somehow change something to redirect wordpress to find the eshop.css display styling file?

It makes no sense to me that the eshop files would “live” in the Uploads folder.

Any help here is greatly appreciated.
