   Hello, Great plugin, I love the concept. My issue is that I can not add anything to the cart. I have created a product and a checkout page and I can see both. When I click on the product’s cart it does nothing.. Please help!!. If you need to see the site I will have to disable the under construction feature just let me know.. Thanks William Perry.

      Hi William
      Had a look at http://www.windsorclippers.com/?product_category=clippers-gear – the cart is being fetched ok, but the ajax requests to add to the cart is being aborted. There is a javascript error (not from WP Order Cart) that might be causing the issue – GET PIE.js 404 Not found – not sure what plugin might be using this file / might be the theme – my suggestion would be to test with another theme / disable plugin that’s using the PIE.js file.

   Hello!

   I find the plugin good – it is easy to use and simple. I got it to work in XAMPP however when switching to online interface I can’t get the product category to link to products.

   The product pages are created correctly to the website but product category page says:”No products found.” – as if it couldn’t see the product pages. In the admin dashboard products are shown correctly “linked” to the product category. Any ideas what causes the error?

   Your assistance is much appreciated!

      Hi John

      Seems like it’s permalinks that’s giving trouble – to fix re-save your permalinks:

      wp-admin menu – settings – permalinks – save changes

      The specific permalink settings doesn’t matter, just to re-save it.

      Please let me know if this doesn’t resolve the issue – thanks for using WP Order Cart.

         Hello Ian!

         Thank you for the swift reply!

         Unfortunately I’m still unable to get the product categories page to work. Otherwise everything would seem to be working. I am able to create product pages and make orders of the products which I have created.

         In wp-admin, I have created a product category which shows a link to a product that I have created (shows 1 product under the category). However, when in wp-admin I click “View” below the product category I still get the text “No products found.”

         I am also using “Yoast WordPress SEO” in my webpage to optimise for google but this has not created any problems otherwise and the permalink adresses would look to be of similar structure with the demo i constructed in XAMPP…

         Any further ideas of getting the product categories page to work?

         Thank you in advance!

            Hi John
            One possibility might be if you are using another ecommerce plugin with a custom post type ‘products’ – this might confuse the WP Order Cart category search.
            Other than that I would have to have a look at your website – could you please post a link?
            If the products are set to a category viewing the category should display all products in that category.

   Ian – Thanks so much for walking me through with such thorough explanation. That makes perfect sense and I got it to work. I will play around with it a bit more to get my menu how I want it. I would love it if you would delete my last post with the website link and codes. Thanks, again, for your help. I really appreciate it!

   Hi, I am using your plugin and seem to be missing something which is probably fairly obvious! I have set-up the WP Order Cart and began adding Products. However, I’m not sure where to see all the products listed together on one ‘products page’ (or in my case ‘company store’)? It seems I would need to direct the plugin where to do so – which page I would like used. But, I haven’t found a place to make that selection. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! As others have mentioned, this is just what I need and I’m eager to use it!

   Cheers,
   Lily

      Hi Lily

      From one of the answers above –

      To display an entire category with add to cart buttons you will need to reference the url for the category by:
      a) To add product categories to your website navigation menu go to ‘Appearance – Menus’, ensure ‘Products’ and ‘Product Categories’ are checked under ‘Screen Options’ and drag and drop as required
      b) Get the url of a product category by going to ‘Products – Product Categories’ then click on the ‘View’ link for the category you want to display, the url will then be in the browser address bar. Once you have the url for the category you can include it anywhere in your website using standard link html.

      Please let me know if you need more assistance – thanks for using WP Order Cart.

         Ian – thanks so much for your response! I have successfully created the ‘product category’ and now have all my products on one page when I view that category. I also have the URL for that page. However I’m still not completely understanding how to make that page appear in my navigation. I’m sort of new to all of this so I appreciate any insight.

         Thanks, again. Cheers!

            Ian-after reading in more detail the comments above, I am having a hard time with #4 in your response to Paula above. I’m not sure how to change the link URL to the ‘button’ in my navigation bar as this was created for me when I created the page.

               Hi Lily
               Could you please post a link to your website / the page in question so I can have a look – it seems you will either need to change the theme where the button is generated or add the button html from the page / post editor screen.

               Hi Lily

               It seems you want the top menu item ‘Company Store’ to link to your product category (http://loansouthmarketing.com/product_category/onlinestore/)?

               This is quite straightforward to do –

               To add product categories to your website navigation menu go to ‘Appearance – Menus’, ensure ‘Products’ and ‘Product Categories’ are checked under ‘Screen Options’ and drag and drop as required –

               Make sure you have a custom menu defined – some themes use an automatically generated menu – if you don’t have a custom menu create one by clicking on the + sign in the top centre to right section of the page.

               After you have created a custom menu make sure it is selected under Theme Locations on the Appearance – Menus page.

               If you open Screen Options – available in the top right of the screen, ensure Products and Product Categories are selected – they will then appear as blocks with headings ‘Products’ and ‘Product Categories’ – this is where you will want add the specific category to your custom menu by checking it and clicking ‘Add to menu’ and then save the custom menu.

               You can also add a custom link to the custom menu with the link http://loansouthmarketing.com/product_category/onlinestore/.

               Hope this helps.

   Hi Alane and Cheryl
   More fields on the order form as well as product pages (product options) are definitely in the development plans for WP Order Cart – custom fields could be the best solution for this as this will give more flexibility.
   Any more requests and feedback welcome, thanks for using WP Order Cart.

   I’m pretty excited to find your plugin! I needed a very simple cart-like function to manage a list tours and allow users to add them to a cart and email it to the site admin to request a quote. This looks good!

   I’m looking for the ability to add some more fields to the order form too, we need to ask for some dates from the customer. If adding custom fields isn’t possible maybe a comments textarea?

   Do you think product options is in the future? I.e. the ability to set an option set for size or color for a product?

   Thanks!
