Thank you for the fast reply. We will try to add more records back in and see if the codes are dispersed as expected. Perhaps there is something else causing it.

I attempted to deactivate – and reactivate the plugin – I also uninstalled fully – reinstalled both manually (via FTP0 and also via WordPress itself. All were fruitless, but now I know why so I am sharing it here – in case anyone else experiences it.

Apparently an”.htaccess” file in the wp-content folder was blocking ALL PHP Transactions as part of a security precaution.

It included the code:

<Files *.php>

deny from all

</Files>

In order for the wp eStore plugin to work paths to each offending file had to be added as exceptions in this file.

For example:

<FilesMatch “eStore_shortcode_insert_window.php”>

Order allow,deny

Allow from All

</FilesMatch>

We found that we could not simply add the whole folder. Additionally, we found that there were several files that needed access. Rather than risk missing any – we remove the “.htaccess” file and now everything is working as expected.

We are looking for a more secure option (in case removing this whole file is a bad choice) – but in the meantime this seems to have fixed our issue. From some internet reading it appears that while we CAN have multiple htaccess files – it can cause just this type of confusion when having rules spread around. I am not sure who/why they were created so we will continue to investigate. I wanted to share what we discovered – because I did not find it when searching the forum and hopefully it can help someone else.
