Some issues with new version?

    Hi

    I use the free version of this great plugin and was actually excited after I saw there was an update.

    After updating, though …
    #1. I noted the selected T-shirts where not showing at the front end. I checked at the backend & there, pre-selected are “t-shirts”. It seems this is ignored & instead all products, including bottles, cphone holders etc are shown.
    I tried to save again & clear the cache, no effect.

    #2. The products where previousy arranged in several columns. Now I only have one looooooooooong column. I do not see where to change this.

    How can the previous arrangement be re-gained?

    On a separate note, is there any way one can show more than one product line, like T-shirts & mugs or a bigger selection with the free version?
    If I remember well, I tried using shortcodes before for this, but it did function with the old version.

    Thank you in & regards

  • Suggest your restore a previous working version of your website until issues are resolved. That’s what I did. I have an issue in common: no row formatting presentation, just one long column. AND every item is duplicated once. A list button is beside the first item in each duplicate set. Like you, I was initially excited about the update.

    We had the same issue. When we went into the settings page and re-saved the settings it fixed it. For some reason I think the update caused the settings not to be saved right in the database and a re-save helped us. Maybe that will help you?

    xprt007 can I have a link to your site and would you tell me what them you are using? I’m trying to duplicate the one column thing without a lot of luck. And I installed StoreFront, which is the theme another developer was having trouble with.

    Hi
    thank you for responding.

    I am using the firmasite theme & site url is https://bit.ly/1GD6TPN.
    As said, the issue is not one column only, but also ignoring the selected t-shirts to be shown, etc.
    karenalenore talks about saving again, but in the process of trying this & that, i saved several times & cleared the cache to no avail.
    Not quite sure what`s wrong.

    Twentythirteen & Mesocolumn show multiple columns, though.

    STRANGELY, after testing & reverting to firmasite, after testing the 2 themes above, I find the products in 4 columns, after several saving sessions & cache clearing the day the update came produced no change.

    Your assistance would be appreciated, an answer to last question in original post, as well. What are “keywords” in settings for?

    Regards

    I need some clarification.
    It looks like you are using firmasite and you are using 2.0 and there doesn’t seem to be an issue. There is not just 1 column, but 4 across.

    Also, you said it was ignoring the product types. Version 2.0 uses the new product types, so instead of saying “[zStoreBasic productType=’zazzle_shirts’] you have to find the product number located in the productypes.csv file and do this [zStoreBasic productType=’252175184843195737′] . In other words, if you have pages with product types on them, yes, you have to update every page.

    It’s a pain the patootie, but this was designed by Zazzle, and definitely NOT my idea.

    Is this the problem with the “ignoring products’?

    Hi

    Well, as noted in the previous post, for some reason, when responding to your post, before that & since the update, it had been showing one column, something even other users confirm, in my case in spite of repeated saving/cache clearing.

    Then since you asked which theme I was using, I decided DURING the writing of the post, to try out other themes & added =>

    Twentythirteen & Mesocolumn show multiple columns, though.

    and, …

    STRANGELY, after testing & reverting to firmasite theme, after testing the 2 mentioned above, I find the products in 4 columns (in firmasite), after several saving sessions & cache clearing the day the update came produced no change.

    After updating, it seems the settings under “Product Type:”, which had inherited “t-shirts” from old plugin where causing the issue, probably being in a format the updated plugin could not use & so showed all products.
    I am quite sure after updating and noting it was showing only one column, which led me to starting the post, it was showing T-shirts as pre-selected.

    Today is when I noticed the updated options under “Product Type:”. These were definitely NOT there before & seem to have been updated OR became visible subsequently.

    So after selecting “Clothing | Men | t-shirts”, these are correctly printed.

    So now in a way there is no problem. ??

    I have in fact been able to create several pages with different product types, though I discovered, that if you for example select on the Zazzle.com/store-name under “Departments” => Clothing => Women the URL like …/womens+clothing?dp=252290791492171664 & extract => 252290791492171664 & use it in => [zStoreBasic productType=’252290791492171664′], it displays ALL products under “women” & one does not need to create separate pages for the different subcategories (with that code in the csv file), if one wants to include a number of different products on the same page. One can for example display all products under “Office products” (mouse pads, mugs, etc) department on one page.

    That is great, because it is something I had wanted to ask if it is possible.

    The remaining question is: is there any chance of being able to display more than one store on the same website? I assume the plugin only allows one store (Contributor Handle: ?), (or not?). It would make sense if this were possible, so someone does not need different websites, especially if one has more than one small store but with different themes …

    Thank you for the great plugin & regards

    Yes, there is a way to show more than one store. Please look under shortcodes on the website. [zStoreBasic contributorHandle=’shopname’] is the short code you would use on an individual page

    Great!

    I am certainly going to use the feature and integrate a number of 3 different stores’ products.
    Upgraded!

    Thanks for the good work …

    Kind regards.
