    Thanks keesiemeijer.

    I will try for an httpd.conf solution because there are numerous websites running under localhost and I like to keep code hacks to a minimum.

    Thanks again keesiemeijer.

    I think you have confirmed that there is nothing within WordPress to handle this so I need to look at an external fix.

    It is pretty normal to have several development websites under localhost so it would be a nice future feature to be able to accommodate relative path images.

    Thanks again keesiemeijer, but this still doesn’t give me what I want; this cleans permalinks from absolute to root relative (which they would be far better being anyway).

    I have lots of images in hundreds of posts in the database and I would like them to be the same on both localhost and live sites so that I don’t have to change hundreds of records every single time I upload/download.

    The fundamental problem is that the root of the site is http://www.sitename.com or localhost/sitename (which is a level off webserver root).

    WordPress just doesn’t seem capable of handling it. I don’t know if I can do something such as an Alias in httpd.conf.

    Thanks keesiemeijer, but this is effectively what I am doing now but would like to avoid.

    Aside from the baseurl, I would like to have a database that was otherwise the same both on and off line with relatively addressed images and links.

    I have happily used WordPress for several years but this same issue has been raised time after time after time.

    The requirement to have content only visible to logged on users seems a very fundamental omission and is NOT covered by either ‘Private’ or ‘Password’.

    I have given up asking but it is the first thing I look for hopefully in every new release.

    It is a big weakness.

    Thanks esmi, I saw that but I don’t call wp_list_categories from the template, I just add the standard Categories Widget to the sidebar which doesn’t offer any sort options.

    In the end, I hacked wp-includes\default-widgets.php but I have the feeling that there should be a better solution that will survive updates.

    Ah – I’m with it now! Please ignore me, thanks.

    Sounds interesting but I can’t figure out how to add an ‘Upload Page’ that contains the upload form… maybe I am being stupid?!

    Thanks Elfin,

    After your comment, I tried changing:
    <?php the_content(__(‘(more…)’)); ?>
    to:
    <?php the_content(‘(more…)’); ?>

    which was a small difference that I don’t understand but it had no effect.

    After setting ‘Show add to cart forms on WordPress listings’ to YES,
    the Cart Form appears and seems to work okay. I can’t see any obvious problems and the form only appears on product pages.

    I don’t know if this is safe to go live with ?!?

    Hi Elfin,

    Yes, as in my first post… it works fine with the default theme.

    I can’t see anything obviously different in my Main Content area (shown above). I can’t figure out what else I have to do to make my theme ‘widget-enabled’.

    Posts do not show the cart form.

    Post Edit screen shows the ‘Product Entry’ section with everything set and both ‘Featured’ and ‘Stock Available’ checkboxes ticked.

    No cart appears – the product page only shows the text content.

    My ‘theme’ is a single file and the entire main content area is as below. I have no idea if anything special is needed to display your widget (again, Shipping Rates table shows correctly).

    <!– S T A R T M A I N C O N T E N T –>
    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    <div class=”post”>
    <h3 class=”storytitle” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>” rel=”bookmark”>
    <?php the_title(); ?>
    </h3>
    <div class=”storycontent”>
    <?php the_content(__(‘(more…)’)); ?>
    </div>
    </div>
    <div align=”center”>
    <img src='<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/postend.gif’>
    </div>
    <?php endwhile; else: ?>
    <p>
    <?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?>
    </p>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <h3>
    <?php posts_nav_link(‘ — ‘, __(‘« Previous Page’), __(‘Next Page »’)); ?>
    </h3>
    <!– E N D M A I N C O N T E N T –>

    Thanks Elfin; that works okay – things are looking much better.

    Okay – in the table [wp_eshop_countries], would it be safe to delete all entries (Code, Country, Zone, List) except:

    GB, United Kingdom, 1, 1
    OT, Other, 2, 1

    Is [Code] field important? [List] field doesn’t hide item from dropdown as I expected (eg. populate dropdown WHERE List=1)

    (Then I could have my own Shipping Rates page).

    Okay, I found the section (doh!)

    But Zone1, Zone2, Zone3, Zone4, Zone5 is meaningless and confusing.

    Is it possible to reduce the number of zones (and ideally name them UK / Non-UK) ?
