 * Hey missoulajobz –
 * 1. Thanks for checking out the guide (I wrote it). Sorry it sounds like it got
   confusing.
 * 2. I just checked the site – and it looks like it’s loading. Was it just the 
   issue with the nameservers?

 * It looks really specific to the Theme you are using.
 * The basics are that you’ll have to find the file within the Theme file that controls
   the shop drop down – then look for the exact widget that controls the checkout–
   then look for the paragraph tag that controls the button, then cut and paste 
   it to the top of that file.
 * edit – use the inspect element tool to find the names of bits that you are looking
   for.

 * I guess you’d need to work with it via FTP to save your site – it’s like a time

 * [WP eCommerce](http://getshopped.org/) I think would score a 5.5 out of 6 – though
   it can be a pain to get exactly right.
 * [s2Member is a membership plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/)
   with a “download option” – ie, “members” can download the product. It has a shorter
   checkout, easier to integrate, and all your customers are automatically registered.
 * I believe [WooCommerce](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/woocommerce/) might
   work – though it has a bit of a longer checkout
 * Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

 * Try [Display Widgets](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-widgets/) instead–
   [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-widgets/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-widgets/)
 * Does the same as widgets controller, except that it supports custom post types(
   which is what product pages are).
 * Let me know if that works!

 * I had that exact situation.
 * I ended up adding a “No Thanks” Variation to the one that was optional. So they
   still had to choose it, but not really if that makes sense.
 * But even then – it was a total pain.
 * In hindsight, I would have used WooCommerce, Shopp, or MarketPress instead of
   WP eCommerce.

 * [13 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-when-installing-ecommerce-plugins/#post-3004416)
 * No problem. Glad to help!
 * This maybe an odd way of thinking about it – but I find that plugins that change
   WordPress’ built-in functionality (like permalinks) are more likely to cause 
   a problem than plugins that add functionality (like contact forms).
 * The accordion problem probably just that it’s sharing a CSS class. You could 
   hunt it down and change it if you really want to stick with that plugin.

 * I love to use WooCommerce – but Shopp is excellent as well.
 * I’ve had problems with WP eCommerce lately – especially when trying to work with
   tracking and customizations, but it’s solid overall.

 * [13 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-woocommerce-secure-especially-with-other-plugins/#post-2678092)
 * Ditto – I’d add that if you pair it with [WP Better Securit](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/better-wp-security/)
   y or [WordFence](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordfence/) – I’d say you’re
   good to go.
 * The premium version of [WordFence](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordfence/)
   will also screen your Themes and Plugins for any vulnerabilities.

 * I’m guessing it’s Accordion or the custom permalinks.
 * Is there anyway you can deactivate them, then try activating the ecommerce plugin?
 * And (just to make sure) are you using the latest version of both WordPress and
   WP eCommerce?

 * WooCommerce also allows custom gateways, customer accounts, and has myriad extensions
   that will link up invoicing software.

 * To create an account – just be sure to have “Allow people to register” enabled
   in the Settings, then send them to [http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/wp-login.php?action=register](http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/wp-login.php?action=register)
 * To create a forum – [use bbPress](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/)
 * eCommerce plugins like WooCommerce, WP eCommerce, etc should play nicely with
   bbPress (they run off WordPress’ account system as far as I know).
 * I’ll try to test this myself. Let me know if that helps.
