  • Using this code [nggallery id=8 template=”wp-cart”]

    When I add the gallery manually Using [wp_cart_button name=”My Photo 1″ price=”19.95″] in the description and it shows the code in the description and no “Add to cart” button

    https://www.fivestarranch.ca/test/ is the page I am testing it on to try to get it work before moving it over to the actual page.

    @willnev, thank you for reporting this issue. I have submitted a message to the plugin developers to investigate further your issue.

    Regards

    OK, great! Any assistance would be very helpful.

    I am having the same problem. I have followed the instructions, but the WP Simple PayPal Add to Cart button is not appearing in my gallery. The gallery is displaying the shortcode itself and not the ‘add to cart’ button. I have used this format:
    (nggallery id=1 template=”wp-cart”)
    I would appreciate any assistance with this. Thank you.

    Pardon my French but, are you guys inserting the code in a post/page or in a Page Template?

    @julie2009, your shortcode looks incorrect. It should be as follow.

    [nggallery id=1 template=”wp-cart”]

    Did you read the following documentation.

    Thank you

    @mbrsolution, oh, I see that I was not using the correct parenthesis form. Yes, I have read and followed the documentation instructions. I have just tried your suggestion (the only difference to the way I wrote it being the parenthesis), and now my page simply says: [Not a valid template]

    @mrcangrejero, I am creating a WordPress page and inserting this shortcode in this page as instructed to do in Step 4 of “Sell Photos From WordPress Site Using Free Plugins” from Tips and Tricks HQ.

    @julie2009, did you make sure you added the correct gallery ID in the shortcode?

    Thank you

    Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. Have been travelling. I think my problem was that I didn’t realise that I couldn’t create a new gallery just by using the side menu. It must be created directly from the page template by using the NextGen gallery icon. It’s now working fine for me. Thanks for your help.

    Hi Everyone,

    THis problem was really annoying me so i dug around a bit. It turns out that the file called ‘gallery-wp-cart.php’ is inside a directory called ‘lib’ (path /plugins/wordpress-simple-paypal-shopping-cart/lib/gallery-wp-cart.php). NextGen cannot find it there, hence the error message that i was getting [Not a valid template].

    A simple fix that has worked for me is to copy it to the directory above,
    at the prompt, assumin you are sitting in the lib directory, that command would be :-
    cp ./gallery-wp-cart.php ..

    Now the template is found and everything works.

    Maybe the plugin devs will fix this at some point, but from the two threads I found on this, it looks as if they always assume everyone else is useless first, so perhaps not much chance of that ??

    Nextgen gallery keeps changing things in a way that is not backwards compatible. I will copy the template to the root directory of this plugin in the next release. I suspect they will change things again and this will break too.

    We have our own fully independent solution for selling photos now. This allows us to offer better and consistent solution for this:
