    Thank you for your response. I actually followed the steps above in this thread and requested a re-install link. When I re-installed I was able to adjust the fields. So good.

    BUT… (stay with me here…)

    When I re-installed in did not create new pages. So I used the admin panel to regenerate pages, but it does NOT create the “Photo Details” page with the short code. Instead, when I check under Settings, it defaults to the first page in my list of pages as the go-to place for Photo Details. It also did not automatically create an Album Home Page (instead using the same default page), but it did automatically create pages for: Store, _Cart, _Checkout, _IPN, _Receipt, _Thank You).

    I can then create a gallery and it shows up as a sub-page to the automatically-created Photo Gallery page, but when I click on any of the images, it takes me to a page not found (defaults to my blog page for some reason).

    So I manually created a Photo Details page and put in the code ([WPS_photo_details]). However, the gallery still does NOT link to it.

    Then I re-checked the settings and made sure that Photo Details page directs to the manually created page (with the [WPS_photo_details]) code on it, made another gallery, and tried again… still “page not found” (prior to clicking, I noted that the url it was directing me to was the newly created page… followed by a / and the photo gallery #, a / and the photo info.

    I’ve been through this loop several times. urg.

    CONCERNING other plugins: I’m using about 10 others, and I suspect that one of them may be in conflict, b/c Photo Seller seemed to be working fine when I first installed it. I didn’t touch it for a while because I was building the site. But only now I’m seeing these problem(s).

    Wait, there’s more… :)

    The site has functionality issues having to do with the theme, which the theme developers are trouble-shooting now. So I’m not sure about de-activitating plugins, especially ones that are integral to the theme.

    You see, I have a commitment to a photography client to get an on-line gallery to purchase digital downloads for an event in a couple weeks. This matters to me so much that I TOOK OUT A NEW DOMAIN for the sole purpose of setting up a bare bones site that can do this function. Of course, I couldn’t install the Photo Seller plugin into it because that plugin was licensed to this first domain…

    …so I bought another. Yep, whole new domain, whole new Photo Seller purchase of $65, install licence, etc. The other site is called “fromthetreehousephotography.ca”. On a fresh WP site, I installed the new plugin… but it did NOT create ANY default pages on installation.

    So I went through the admin functions and regenerated default pages. It did NOT create a Photo Details page. I went ahead and created a gallery, but I couldn’t view it: instead of thumbnail, I get ? icon. Note: the editing page shows me the thumbnail okay.

    So I changed the theme to Twenty Fifteen and started at zero. Deleted ALL pages. Deactivated ALL other plugins. Deactivated, deleted, and re-installed Photo Seller. It did not automatically create pages on installation. So I went through the admin functions, re-generated default pages… and it made the following: “Photo Gallery, Store, _Cart, _Checkout,_IPN,_Receipt, _Thank You” (Note: it did not create a “Photo Details” page or an “Album Home Page”… is this normal?)

    I then made a gallery (following precisely the steps on the video tutorial) and saved it. I can view it, but the thumbs now link to a “Photo Details-trashed” page.

    Okay (he said with a sigh)… I recreate the Photo Details page, plug in the short code, and save/refresh everything…

    … and I can view the gallery, but the link still doesn’t work (Page does not exist).

    Again, this is on a Twenty Fifteen WP theme with NO OTHER PLUGIN functioning.

    When this plugin was functioning, I thought it was great, but now I’ve sunk to license purchases into it and spent hours and hours troubleshooting this. I would very much like for this to be resolved. Thanks for making it to the end of this.

    I have followed the steps indicated and re-installed a fresh version of the plugin. However, no change has occurred. The settings page will not retain any changes I make… so I cannot enable PayPal testing, register my Email, or any other function. The only step I missed was to manually delete all of the photo seller tables from PHPMyAdmin… because I’m not sure what I’m doing there, how to recognize those tables, etc. I’m not a developer. Will try again but in the meantime I would appreciate any help, thanks.

    I am having precisely the same problem. I purchased and installed wp photo seller for use on a site I built on a temporary url, then when I enabled the intended url to make the site live, WP photo seller stopped saving any settings I make. Not all gallery templates link correctly (assume because there is no “Photo details” page automatically generated when I attempt to do so in the admin functions). The program won’t save or accept any modifications to settings (PayPal e-mail, for example), and the loupe no longer works.

    I will follow the advice given to Jonathan, above, and see if this resolves the issue…
