Just a quick update. I got everything running smoothly.

Hope this helps anyone in the future. You can check out the site here.

The only issue I might have is that I have too many products on one page so it loads heavy, but I can take care of that. Thanks

Great! That worked on the thumb image. One last problem. Please take a look at the following web page.

WordPress eStore Plugin Demo

I would like it to look like the “Demo Photo” example with the selection of really small thumbs on the bottom.

I thought if I included images in the variation it would do that but it doesn’t seem to work. Am I missing something. Any ideas as how to make that work?

Thanks for your advise Admin, going forward I will use the WordPress’s Default themes. I’m finding that you are stuck with only the choice of the marketplace plugins if you use their template.

A Senior Specialist from Template Monster advised me to update to the newest version of Cherry which is the framework for theme45687. This seemed to resolve some of my issues.

When I click on a thumbnail on my homepage (not a WP eStore image) this image now opens in the theme lightbox. So that works properly.

Product variation now works fine with the theme running and the WP eStore.

However, when I run the theme45687, and I click on a thumbnail for a product I am selling it still opens in it’s own page rather that inside the lightbox.

When I run the theme45687, I still cannot see the “Additional Product” images thumbnails. Since the lightbox is failing I cannot open an image and scroll through all the images.

When I deactivate all other plugins and only ran WP eStore by itself the lightbox for the images in the store failed. Rather, when I clicked on the thumbnail for the product I was selling it opened the image in a separate page.

Again when I deactivated all other plugins and only ran WP eStore by itself I still could not see the “Additional Product” thumbs.

Again when I changed to the Twenty Thirteen and the Twenty Twelve themes the lightbox for the images in the store failed. Rather, when I clicked on the thumbnail for the product I was selling it opened the image in a separate page.

Again when I changed to the Twenty Thirteen and the Twenty Twelve themes I still could not see the “Additional Product” thumbs.

Since these problems continue after I deactivate the plugins and switch to the default theme my instinct tells me this may not be related to the marketplace theme.

Can you please take a good close look. Thank you.

Also, I ran the tests and found errors. Template Monster said that they do not guarantee plugins from a third party so I am under the impression they are not going to help.

Should I scrap the theme or do you think we can do anything to make WP eStore work with this theme?

…if we can’t do anything with the theme do you know of a good source of properly coded themes that we can work with if any problems arise?

Looks like I will be dropping the theme all together. I can’t wait to make that call to the client.

Do you have any suggestions as to where I should look for themes that support your plugin. That I can trust.

Hi wpCommerce

Please take a look at the previous notes above. I switched to the default WordpPress theme and the results are above. I also checked the plugins and the results are above as well.

I’m new to this WordPress world (my first website) and I made my first rookie mistake. I bought a third party theme (they appear reputable, Template Monster) and now I am stuck. Therefore I have read the suggested articles and I thank you for directing me to them.

Initially I was going to request more help from you but I have found enough errors in this theme that I am going after the developer.

What a disappointment as my goal was to switch from the time suck life of building a site from scratch to the ease of WordPress.

If you see anything specific that could be a culprit to my errors please let me know.

Thanks for all of your help.

Hello mbrsolution

I was able to successfully update the WP eStore Plugin. Unfortunately I am still having the same problems.

I am running XAMPP 1.8.3-1 on a Mac OS X 10.8.5. I am using PHP 5.5.3. and MySQL 5.6.12. I am also using WordPress version 3.7.1

I did deactivate all other plugins and only run WP eStore by itself with no success.

When I changed to the Twenty Thirteen and the Twenty Twelve themes the lightbox for the images on the homepage failed. I expected this as I believe these were tied to the lightbox for the theme45687 I am using.

When I changed to the Twenty Thirteen and the Twenty Twelve themes the lightbox for the images in the store failed. Rather, when I clicked on the thumbnail for the product I was selling it opened the image in a separate page.

When I changed to the Twenty Thirteen and the Twenty Twelve themes I still could not see the “Additional Product” thumbs.

When I changed to the Twenty Thirteen and the Twenty Twelve themes, in regards to “Product Variation 1”, when I selected “24K Gold” the price was successfully updated. So that worked.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
