Hey guys, this post has long been overdue. I’ve had it on draft and put in the back burner for quite some time and never had the chance to finish it. But now it is ready to be put into your hot little hands. I will be updating this post as new tips come in. Anyone who wants to contribute to the list, feel free to contact me. This post will serve as a 1 stop roundup of WPEC goodies and I will be adding to this list as it comes so check back often or subscribe to the RSS feed. Let’s dive right in.
*Note: some solutions here may or may not work for your version and the line numbers and location may be slightly different. In that case do a search for the code instead of using any line numbers provided.

Tip #1: Changing items in CSS has no affect!
First determine what theme you’re using by going to store/settings/presentation tab and under “Product Page Settings” you will see a “Theme” dropdown box. Take note of that. Then depending on if you have moved the theme files to a safe location or not, here are the two possible location for your themes.
http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/themes/ (before moving themes to safe location)
http://yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/themes/ (after moving themes to safe location)
The purpose to move the themes to a safe location is to prevent overwrite during upgrades. So your theme modification stays intact. You don’t have to manually move theme. You can click on the link in the presentation tab and look to your right in that box there will be a link.
Tip #2: How do I change “add to cart” button image?
This only pertains to the iShop and Marketplace theme because the default theme doesn’t use an image for the add to cart button. To change the image, simply go to following folder and replace the image file:
(iShop Theme) http://yoursite.ocm/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/themes/ishop/images/buy_button.gif (if you have already move the theme files to safe place. see tip #1 for reference)
(Marketplace Theme) http://yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/themes/marketplace/images/atc.gif (if you have already move the theme files to safe place. see tip #1 for reference)
Tip #3: How to collapse “more detail” when page loads?
This only pertains to “iShop” and “Marketplace” themes. When you have additional details content on your products, it shows on the “more details” section on the page. However, when the page loads, it is already in the expanded mode and you would like it to be collapsed initially and only expand when user clicks on the “more details” link.
Open up the themes CSS file and find this line:
span.additional_description { display:none; }
CHANGE TO:
div.additional_description { display:none; }
Tip #4: How to enable a “cool” slide toggle effect on the “more details” link.
To give a nice “cool” slide toggle effect when users click on the “more details” link, open up the following file:
http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/js/wp-e-commerce.js and find:
jQuery('.additional_description',parent_element).toggle();
CHANGE TO:
jQuery('.additional_description',parent_element).slideToggle('fast');
Of course you can substitute “fast” with a number in seconds (i.e. 5000 is 5 seconds) or “medium” or “slow”…etc.
Tip #5: How to go straight to checkout page when “add to cart” is clicked?
If you would like customers to be directed to the checkout page after clicking on “add to cart” button, here is how. Credit goes to Jeff at Instinct.
Open up the following files in your current theme (single_product.php, products_page.php, list_view.php and grid_view.php) and find this block of code:
<form class='product_form' enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo wpsc_this_page_url(); ?>" method="post" name="1" id="product_<?php echo wpsc_the_product_id(); ?>">
CHANGE TO:
<form class='product_form' enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo get_option('shopping_cart_url'); ?>" method="post" name="1" id="product_<?php echo wpsc_the_product_id(); ?>">
By doing this, you changed the URL of the action after the form has submit thereby directing customers to another page–in this case the checkout page. But we are not done because the “add to cart” button is listening to an AJAX call when clicked so we must also do the following.
http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/js/wp-e-commerce.js and find:
if(file_upload_elements.length > 0)
CHANGE TO:
if(file_upload_elements.length > 0 || true)
In truth, that line only regards to files that needs to be uploaded when “add to cart” button is clicked but we can utilize it to our advantage by adding the OR TRUE statement so it would not fire the AJAX call.
Tip #6: How can I make the star on the required checkout field in red?
As it currently stands by default it is just black. To make it red or any other color, let’s add a span tag around the star or asterisk. Open the following file.
http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/wpsc-includes/checkout.class.php and find:
return stripslashes($this->checkout_item->name).': * ';
CHANGE TO:
return stripslashes($this->checkout_item->name).': <span class="required">*</span> ';
By doing this, now you have a class to target and just open up your theme’s CSS and target the “required” class and set it to whatever color you desire.
Tip #7: How to find the category ID?
To find out the IDs of all categories simply paste the following code anywhere like in your index.php and once you have loaded the index page and got the ID, remove the code. This is just a quick and dirty way to retrieve the IDs.
<?php global $wpdb, $wpsc_query; $sql = "SELECT `id`,`name` FROM `".WPSC_TABLE_PRODUCT_CATEGORIES."` WHERE `active` = 1 ORDER BY id ASC"; $lists = $wpdb->get_results($sql,ARRAY_A); foreach ($lists as $list) : echo $list['id']. "->". $list['name']."<br />"; endforeach; ?>
Tip #8: How to change the starting ORDER ID number.
For some new shop owners, when just starting their business, they like to start the order ID count to be higher that way customers would not think this online shop is new and probably has no experience. So instead of starting from order ID #1, you can set it to whatever you like.
Create a fictitious sale and take note of the current order ID. Then go to your database with your favorite database interface and browse inside the wp_wpsc_purchase_logs table. This table collects all the sales logs. Find the fictitious transaction you just did and edit ID field. Change the ID to whatever you want. For example if you change it to 1000, the next order will start at 1001. After you changed and saved it, you can delete that entry. Because that table is set to auto-increment, it will take care of the rest.
Now delete the fictitious data from the table “wp_wpsc_submitted_form_data”. Find the order by looking at the ID I told you to take note of earlier. You should see a list of entries that the fictitious order generated. After deleting those entries, you should be good to go.
Tip #9: How to add ORDER ID to sales log for easy order retrieval.
Looking at the admin dashboard on the sales log I feel that it should have a column with purchase/order ID. For example, if a customer called about a purchase, it would be much easier to look for it with the order/purchase ID than to look for it with the name. What if this person purchased 2 or 3 times in a row during a holiday season for friends/family. Then you would have 2 or 3 sales entries with same name and if the customer inquires about them, you would have to click into each one to find which order he/she is referring to. Instead if he/she told you a specific order/purchase ID, you can find it in a jif…
Open up the following file.
http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/wpsc-admin/display-sales-logs.php and find:
if(!isset($_REQUEST['purchaselog_id'])) {
$columns = array(
'cb' => '<input type="checkbox" />',
'date' => 'Date',
'name' => '',
'id' =>'Order ID',
'amount' => 'Amount',
'details' => 'Details',
'status' => 'Status',
'delete' => 'Delete',
'track' => 'Track'
);
Add this code ‘id’ => ‘Order ID’ above ‘amount’=> ‘Amount’, line.
Then scroll down to around line 496 and find this chunk of code.
<tr>
<th class="check-column" scope="row"><input type='checkbox' name='purchlogids[]' class='editcheckbox' value='<?php echo wpsc_the_purch_item_id(); ?>' /></th>
<td><?php echo wpsc_the_purch_item_date(); ?></td> <!--Date -->
<td><?php echo wpsc_the_purch_item_name(); ?></td> <!--Name/email -->
<td><?php echo wpsc_the_purch_item_id(); ?></td><!--Order ID -->
<td><?php echo nzshpcrt_currency_display(wpsc_the_purch_item_price(), true); ?></td><!-- Amount -->
<td><a href='<?php echo htmlentities(add_query_arg('purchaselog_id', wpsc_the_purch_item_id())) ; ?>'><?php echo wpsc_the_purch_item_details();?> Items</a></td><!-- Details -->
<td>
Above this line:
<td>< ?php echo nzshpcrt_currency_display(wpsc_the_purch_item_price(), true); ?></td><!-- Amount -->
Paste in this line:
<td>< ?php echo wpsc_the_purch_item_id(); ?></td><!--Order ID --></strong>
Now after you do that you will see Order ID being dynamically generated for each sales. To style it, you must open up your admin.css in the css folder of the wpsc-admin folder and add a style for th#id { width:45px; } for example and that should space out that column correctly.
Tip #10: How to pass discount amount to Paypal Standard.
Open merchant.class.php inside the wpsc-includes folder and around line 170 you will see this
global $wpdb;
CHANG TO:
global $wpdb, $wpsc_cart;
On around line 191 you will see this
"shipping" => $cart_row['pnp'],
ADD THIS BELOW IT:
"coupons_amount" => $wpsc_cart->coupons_amount,
OPEN THE FILE paypal-standard.merchant.php inside your merchants folder and around line 175 you will see this
"amount_$i" => $this->format_price($cart_row['price']),
CHANGE TO:
"amount_$i" => $this->format_price($cart_row['price'] + $cart_row['tax']),
1 LINE DOWN YOU WILL SEE THIS:
"tax_$i" => $this->format_price($cart_row['tax']),
CHANGTO:
//"tax_$i" => $this->format_price($cart_row['tax']),
THEN AROUND LINE 188 FIND
$paypal_vars += array( "handling_cart" => $this->cart_data['base_shipping'] );
ADD BELOW THAT LINE THIS
$paypal_vars += array( "discount_amount_cart" => $cart_row['coupons_amount'] );
IMPORTANT: Remember to flush/empty your cache before testing this or else it may not work.
That’s it…give it a go…
Hi Roy Ho,
Great post. Thanks for the help.
Thanks. Great tips. I’m Creating a site with wp e commerce. Will save me time as I wanted to do some of these things.
Hi Nishant,
Thanks for the comment! Good luck with your project!
Roy,
Thanks for the paypal fix. It worked on tax but not on my coupon code discount. is there something I’m doing wrong? Using Paypal Standard 2.0
Hi John,
It works perfectly on the testing I did…If you want, email me your WP login and FTP login and I will have a look to see if the conditions are the same as my test site…
You know Roy, I switched from Paypay standard 2.0 to Paypal Standard and it works fine. Thanks. Great fix!
Can’t get to work the Tip #10. Whenever I try to apply a coupon It goes straight from the checkout form to the Transaction result page (not going trough PayPal even though it is selected as Payment method)
Coupon Code: asd2
33€ discount
Paypal is in sandbox mode.
Any help would be appreciated.
Javier.
If your checkout doesn’t take you to paypal, you have other issues not related to this tip…Fix that first…
Hi Roy. I have got the form sent to paypal but no luck with the list of products showing up properly in PayPal. I am using version 3.7.7 of the plugin and WP 3.0.3 and paypal standard in sandbox mode.
Imagin I buy 4 different items, when I get to the paypal checkout page I see that the coupon has been applied but I can only see 1 item in the list (instead of showing the different items in a list).
Is this the expected behavior of this tip or should I see the entire list in Paypal?
Cheers.
Hi Javier,
You should see an itemized list not 1 total…Make sure you’re editing the correct file as there are several files that start with Paypal in the merchants folder. And don’t forget to flush your cache and restart your browser after the changes.
I double checked the files and yes, I have edited the correct ones.
I have read in the 3.7.8 changelog that this issue is fixed so I went and downloaded the new code to have a look but unfortunately seems that they didn’t use your patch to solve the problem so I found nothing useful there.
No, the new version of WPEC does not allow for itemized list like the fix I’ve provided. If you see a post I posted on getshopped where you can see an image of the paypal checkout which confirms it works. However as stated, I can’t foresee every possible combination of settings like the tax…etc. so there could be a possibility that your setup may not work but without further data, I can’t tell you.
Nice fix! Thank you. This is the only solution I found.
Great article. I was looking around for how to make “add to cart” go straight to the cart page. My hack worked, but I didn’t love it. Your solution was way more elegant. Thanks for the help!
Yes, I have actually messed a lot with taxes and this kink of things to get the check out working “the spanish way” so that may be why.
Thanks a lot anyway Roy.
Thanks Roy, particularly for fix #10! Was having syntax errors on the very final step as I had copied/pasted it straight in – if anyone else comes across this just put that bit of code on a single line and all should be smooth sailing.
Hey no worries! Glad it worked for you…
hoi Roy
Do you have an answer for this topic? http://getshopped.org/forums/topic.php?id=14301 ??
Thank you.
Yes I do but that requires a big chunk of code change and takes some time to do…
I just read your post on the wp-e-commerce Support Forum that directed me to here. I am having the problem that the items that are ordered through my shopping cart are being processed just right through PayPal (with the shopping cart detail information) EXCEPT when someone used a Coupon Code. Then, the only problem is that that shopping cart information isn’t being passed through to PayPal so I can’t see what they ordered. I went through the steps in Tip #10 but, it didn’t work – I am still not getting the shopping cart details. Any suggestions? Thank you for your help in advance.
Please read over the instructions again carefully as they do work. And take note that there is more than 1 file in the folder that contains the word Paypal so be sure you’re editing the right file.
Thank you so much!!! You are a PHP GENIUS!!
Ok, so… I am sure you are still a genius, but it’s still not working if there is a coupon code used during checkout…. I didn’t check that before I left my last reply. Sorry.
I have double-checked everything, and I have everything entered in the way you say to, but…. nothing. Help, please?
Ok, I got a feeling it is not working because you’re using the latest WPEC 3.7.8?? If so that could be the reason because in that version, they changed the code to sum total and all cart items when coupons are used. So if you can find version 3.7.7, it would work for that version for sure..
I just went back and installed the original version that I used when I installed WP E-Commerce, which is 3.7.6.9. I went through the code again and made the changes, nothing. I have gone through them again – about 4 times, and I am still getting no information in my Shopping Cart details in PayPal. …? Please help, again. I am so sorry this isn’t working for me…
I have same problem.
Have figured it out?
I am trying to add the plugin WP-E-commerce. I added the product but nothing is showing. Am I doing anything wrong?
Make sure you selected a valid category when you created the product.
Hi Roy
Excellent post!
However tip#2 (changing cart image is not working).
I use version 3.7.8 of WPEC
I moved the themes to a safe folder (uploads).
I changed my theme to iShop and uploaded customized buy_button.gif.
Instead of displaying the new GIF it now displays an add to cart image that you would see with the default theme!
I tested that I am using the iShop theme by changing the size of the buy_buttton.gif in iShop.css and that is reflecting correctly in my site.
So I am not sure why the image is not displaying?
Thanks
Naveen
Hi Naveen,
You may not have moved your themes yet and that is why it isn’t working…
Hi Roy
I did move my theme as mentioned in the 5th line.
??
Note sure what else you may have had in mind.
Thanks
Naveen
Really hard to help unless I know EXACTLY what you did…What is the exact path you replace the file?
Hello,
How to make a hashing number of purchase – it’s encoded ID for the client to not know that our 10 or 100 orders.
Now, our competition can preview the size of my sales every month making trial/spy on my sales volume by making test purchases and abandon the shopping cart.
Maybe in PHP, for example $hash=md5 ($ id_order) but how exactly?
Well first of all I wouldn’t use MD5 as that would be way too long of a number. Instead you need to create a random alpha-numeric generating script that is for example 6 characters long with 3 digits and 3 alpha characters. Once the order number is generated, you have to compare it with the database to see if this number has already been assigned. If so, start the process again and generate a new number.
However this kind of changes will definitely require you to change the core of WPEC files. So it is definitely not upgrade friendly as you would have to do a diff on the files and port over the changes everytime.
Roy,
These are really helpful tips. Thanks for the time and effort to organize this material. I have some additional questions maybe you can shed some light on.
This website uses the theme I am building aka Crafty Cart.
I am trying to accomplish some certain tasks as follows:
1) Within the wpsc_buy_button_container, I want to have only the css styled button, not the image file referenced; and align it to the left.
2) Also, the fancy notification shows up all the way at the bottom of the page and very offset, instead of right next to the add to cart. What do I adjust to make the fancy notification cleanly float just to the right of the add to cart area of each product?
3) For the order ID, I noticed your details of the scripting to generate a random number. Should this be done in a separate php module? I have coding experience but am still learning the best practices of php. Do I need to create a new table for managing order IDs, and then build a module to be referenced by each checkout instance? Then how do I compare the current random number generation to the existing DB of order IDs? Build an Array of order IDs and compare the random number generated? Finally can this order ID and the products purchased be passed to paypal and google checkout?
Hi Kyle,
Have you consulted with a WP professional? Your issues seem to be very trivial and would need someone with experience to help you take a look.
@Roy
No, as I am trying to get the experience myself. In the pursuit of learning, I am looking for some nudges in the right direction to resolve the problems. What do you think is the most compatible theme for the latest version of ecommerce, and is the default ecommerce theme easy to work with within that theme?
If you can help me with that, I’m just going to restart. Can you tell me a little about the new interface and saving your theme files to different folders and how are they referenced/not referenced anymore afterward?
There are currently no theme that I know of that supports WPEC 3.8 as it is still in RC version. However Crafty Cart is a must stay away as that is not a very good theme at all and will give you more headaches. The best thing to do is built your own theme. If that is beyond what you have signed up for then if you can wait about 1-2 months, I am currently building a theme for 3.8.
Thanks a lot! I just followed tip6 and it works perfect!
Hi!
I’m running wp-e commerce version 3.7.7. and tip 10# is not working
I did everything like you wrote here, checked few times.
When I use discount coupon I get in paypal “your shopping cart” and when I don’t use coupon code everything is shown ok!
Before and after changing code nothing changed, paypal shows “your shopping cart”.
Can you help please?
Thanks
There could be two reasons for this. Either you’re editing the wrong file (there are two that contains the name Paypal) or you’re using a “attempted fixed” version from instinct. This tip applies to before they “attempted” to fix this file.
Hi Roy, thanks for the post. I seem to be having the same problem as Denis where “Your Shopping Cart” is showing as the item when a coupon code is used. I’ve tried the code changes in #10 and still have the problem. I’ve confirmed I’m editing the correct files but am not sure what you mean by using an “attemped fixed” version from instinct. I’m using WPEC 3.7.8, Gold Cart 2.8, WP 3.1. Any help you can give is hugely appreciated.
Thanks!
Todd
This fix is for version prior to your version…In your version they tried to fix it but did not do it correctly. So using the fix here for your version may not work.
Well shoot. Any advice on where I should turn from here? Downgrade to an older version of WPEC? I’m not really even sure how to do that.
Why doesn’t the current paypal information work for you?
The person I did the website for wants to be able to use coupon codes, but when someone makes a purchase with a coupon, instead of sending the name of the item to Paypal it sends “Your Shopping Cart” as the item. So when the site owner gets the email notification that a purchase has been made, or looks at the transaction details within paypal, she can’t see what was purchased, which means she doesn’t know what to ship. She can go into the plugin in the WP Dashboard to cross reference by price, but if she gets multiple purchases with the same price there’s no way for her to tell who ordered what.
How do I change the Add to Cart Button in version 3.8 since it doesn’t have the iShop theme and the default version doesn’t use an image for the button?
Sorry, these tips were for 3.7 series of the WPEC plugin. 3.8 tips are on the way though…
Thanks! I figured this one out … just replaced the default button code with:
<input type='image' src='/images/buy.png’ id=’product__submit_button’ class=’wpsc_buy_button’ name=’Buy’ value=”" />
This is what I’m looking for as well! But I’m a newbie in wpec-land so I don’t exactly know what to do with your post mariannaG. Can you explain a bit more?
Thanks!
This is the code to change the default “add to cart” button to your oown.
I understand,but can you explain a bit more. Because I really want to change the buy now button so it links to the checkout page and nog just adds something to the cart.
Thanx!
Awesome tips thanks roy. do you know of any good tutorials that explain writing your own payment gateway?
ive checked out the ones on getshopped and the gateway provider (eway.co.nz) but think i need something that explains the basic process of what to put where.
ive got as far as sending the details to the hosted payment page and the transaction accepting but when it goes back to the shop site it always says transaction not accepted – what am i missing?
Best way is just to scan through existing gateways and study that. Also setup a good debugging environment as that will definitely speed up your development especially with gateways. There are plenty of WP plugins you can use for debugging if you don’t want to mess with putting PHP error reporting…etc…
Hi there, was looking at your tip about changing the add to cart picture and only now realized a little bit about what folders there are, but not at all sure how to change folders….for example how to take an image off and replace it with a new one or how to add a new folder. My actual problem is that I upgraded to wpec 3.8 and after that my ädd to cart button doesn’t show anymore. I think the pathway for the image is not right, so i want to add folders and image so the pathway works again (don’t know enough to change html codes….) Hope you can help??
Unfortunately these tips are for 3.7 only…I will be covering 3.8 at the end of this week on http://splashingpixels.com
hi sir,
i have used wp-e-commerce plugin.and i want to change permalink. i have tired to change permalink from wordpress wp-admin>setting>permalink. but i did not work. so can you help me to change it? thanks in advanced.
@Macwan, you have to be more specific…What are you trying to change to?
Hey Roy,
Hows it going ?
Tried doing this :
Tip #9: How to add ORDER ID to sales log for easy order retrieval.
But now I get this error :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘)’ in /home/comicboo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/wpsc-admin/display-sales-logs.php on line 85
For logging into the back end of the store.
I still dont get assigned an order ID
. Although the “store” still works.
I also have smart manager lite on there.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Ryan
I assume you’re trying to do this with version 3.7 yes?
Yeah that is correct
Ok so I figures that one out lol.
But now Ive hit another snag which i cant seem to find :
It’s suppose to send an email out with a Tracking Id of the order to the client. This is what it says for Tracking ID Notification
Track and Trace settings:
Note: The Tracking Subject, is the subject for The Tracking Message email. The Tracking Message is the message e-mailed to users when you click ‘Email buyer’ on the sales log. This option is only available for purchases with the status of ‘Job Dispatched’. Tags you can use in the email message section are %trackid% and %shop_name%
I went to Smart Manager under Order ID and there’s nothing there I could find in regards to emailing the person
.
Thanks
Ryan
I think you would need to ask this question to the developer of Smart Manager? I believe they would need to add it on their end for you to see that data.
Well it says in WP e-Commerce itself but ill pop them an email and see what they say cause been looking there and nuda
Tip #5 does not seem to work any longer. Maybe it’s just me?
@Jason – this post is for version 3.7…If you’re using 3.8, it may not work for you. Please refer to here for 3.8 tips http://splashingpxiels.com/articles/wpec-38-tips-tricks/
so since this is the only blog that you get actual help from thanks Roy much appreciated.
WordPress or WP Ecommerce needs a proper support line or something its actually pathetic .
I could be mistaken thou but couldnt find one.
So smart manager doesn’t do the emailing there’s is already one in WordPress under Dashboard under Store Sales where you can enter details and send the Tracking ID.
As of now Ive hit another snag with this wordpress WP-Ecommerce if anyone knows.
So under products there is a Product Gallery where you can add photos great but now when that gets published I cannot add that to the Product so you can only see one image Thumbnail ? Unless I add the Images to the post separate.
The other thing is when I go to products I just want it to show a thumbnail and the title of the product as in a grid view but I can only choose default ?
thanks
Ryan
@Ryan – you need Gold Cart to display multiple product images and make sure you have show thumbnail gallery turned ON….
Hey Roy ok awesome,
Now If I go to the main products will it list it in Grid Mode withjust the thumbnail and title or will it show like this :
http://www.comicbookjunkyblog.com/products-page/kotobukiya/
Right now I deleted the other photos for the top Item.
So the Cat is that but all I want is the thumbnail and title Gold will do that correct .
When I buy the gold and install it will it override my current settings ?
@Ryan – I think what you’re trying to do is set it to grid view so only product image and add to cart button shows…You can set it to display in grid view by default in your presentation tab once you have Gold Cart.
Ok yeah thats it.
Cool Ill buy it this weekend.
but it wont overwrite my current settings will it ?
@Ryan – no…
Roy, how can we apply tip #10 if we are using:
WordPress 3.3
WPEC 3.8.7.4
For step 1,I found global $wpdb on lines 87, 110, 204, 255, 265, 277, 306, 316, 325 and 339.
As none of my coupons work at all, let alone pass through PayPal.
@Rudy – this only applies to version 3.7.
Thanks for clarifying the versions.
Hiya,
So Im back to get some help from the only Forum I know that actually helps.
so anyway I got the Gold Cart Plugin for WordPress WP-Ecommerce. Started adding products with quite a bit of Text. I cant seem to put the Text Under the Product Images. Does anyone know whats going on or can help please.
As I want the pictures to show nice and big at the top of the text with the Item Gallery underneath.
Heres a link for example
http://www.comicbookjunkyblog.com/products-page/kotobukiya/dc-comics-bishoujo-collection-poison-ivy-bishoujo-statue/
You want to atribute the width of the .imagecol in your wpec css file to be the entire width of the content column.
630px, in fact. You’ll want to adjust your single product page image settings to match that at 630px wide (with proportional height), or your image won’t fill the space. You could force it via css, but it will not be crisp if the image resolution is smaller than 630px wide.

Cool site. However, the (add-to-cart/go to checkout) code doesn’t work. It goes to the checkout page, but there’s nothing in the cart. I had a similar code, which involves editing the checkout-classes, with the same effect. If I ever sort it out I’ll post the result.
@Graham – all tips have been tried and tested to work. However you’re probably trying to apply this to your version 3.8 when these tips are for 3.7 version. Refer to the 3.8 tips from the links I probably in the comments.
Hi Roy
Great tip: Tip #8: How to change the starting ORDER ID number.
I’m struggling to find the wp_wspc_purchase_logs. Can anyone tell me where they are. And can you explain the whole process in alittle bit more depth.
I am a newby so be gentle
Thanks in advance
