Find a properly coded theme
Basically you just need to troubleshoot the CSS of this theme. I had a quick look and the following bit of CSS code that’s coming from one of the CSS files (themes/wordpress/business-blue/assets/css/lightbox.css) looks problematic:
#lightbox{ position: absolute; left: 0; width: 100%; z-index: 100; text-align: center; line-height: 0;}
#lightbox img{ width: auto; height: auto;}
#lightbox a img{ border: none; }It’s specifying any “lightbox” CSS div to be aligned center?
The latest version of eStore should work fine. I was going to send you an update but I couldn’t find your email address in my customer database… I will send you an email and take it from there.
At the moment the easiest way to do this would be to use category protection. You protect the category then any future posts that goes under the protected categories will automatically be protected (no need to go back to “Manage Content Protection” page for it).
Ah I see… it wasn’t designed for a “Gift Certificate” type usage so it doesn’t work for this situation. You could use a percentage (%) based discount rather than fixed amount which will yield a better result.
Hi Tink, use the following code (I have made the other one to only display the cart when there are items in there).
<?php echo wp_digi_cart_always_show(); ?>You can add padding in the CSS of the button. Open the “wp_shopping_cart_style.css” file and find the following bit of code:
.wp_cart_checkout_button:hover{
opacity:0.7;
}
.wp_cart_button:hover{
opacity:0.7;
}
Now, add padding as you need.
Here are a few reasons when the shortcode gets displayed instead of the button:
1) The WP eStore plugin is not active.
2) The shortcode is placed inside a shortcode of another plugin which didn’t implement the shortcode using WordPress’s proper shortcode API.
3) The shortcode wasn’t placed in a WordPress post or page (WordPress shortcodes do not work in your theme file or a stand alone HTML page).
Do you think any of the above is happening in your case?
Some themes do not handle Widget without title very good (looks like yours is one of those). This is why it’s messing things up (If the theme was coded according to WordPress standards these wouldn’t happen).
Lets try a different approach….
1) Remove this PHP Code widget so your site gets back to normal (basically, make it so the sidebar is not messed up anymore).
2) Open the “sidebar.php” file of your theme and place the following line of code:
<?php echo eStore_shopping_cart(); ?>You will need to adjust where you place the code depending on the CSS structure your theme is using but a bit of trial and error approach should reveal where it needs to go. Remember to keep a backup copy of the “sidebar.php” file before you start modifying it (in case something goes wrong).
You can use the following shortcodes:
[wp_eStore_sale_counter id=1]
[wp_eStore_remaining_copies_counter id=1]
Remember, all the available shortcodes are listed here:

“multiplying the discount by the number of items purchased” – Can you explain this one a bit please?
Total Discount is equally divided and applied to individual products for a few different reasons:
1) The plugin verifies the price paid for each different product after the payment. A common hacking technique is to apply a discount on the total amount which makes it hard to verify how much was paid for the individual product.
2) PayPal requires the price of each item not just the total.
Can you please tell me if have done the following steps:
1) Get the PHP Code Widget Plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/) and activate it.
2) Go to your widgets menu and add a “PHP Code” widget to your sidebar.
3) Leave the Title empty
4) In the body of the widget place the following line:
<?php echo eStore_shopping_cart(); ?>Once you have done all this can you please post a link to the page so I can see what remaining issues are there?
