Right. Forgot about that.

Just a thought – could this theme be using PHP to grab the featured articles? Wickett, maybe you’re using a host that doesn’t support PHP.

Anyone, feel free to shoot me down if I’m wrong.

Tried YAK. The short answer: I’d stick with WP e-Commerce, despite its imperfections.

YAK has no support whatsoever, even less than WP e-Commerce. It’s a breeze to get all the settings laid out (there’s just one settings screen in the admin panel), but it goes downhill from there.

To create products in YAK, you need to make a post and assign some sort of special tag to it so that the plugin knows it’s a product. I couldn’t get past this hurdle, it seems like you need a pretty good handle on PHP to get this plugin to work for you.

The other disadvantage of this method is that your products get jumbled in with your posts. This wouldn’t sit well with a store that has 100s of items, like you mentioned above.

WP e-Commerce is definitely more user-friendly and easier to set up, so it looks like I’m sticking with that one for now.

I’m using the same plugin. I got mine to work, but it was very finicky and hard to set up.

Unfortunately there aren’t a whole lot of good ecommerce plugins. YAK for WordPress is one I’m considering trying out. It associates products with posts or pages. When I’ve had a chance to try it out, I’ll post again.

Awesome! thanks – now it’s perfect!

Sweet!

Just downloaded and installed the plugin… works great on WP2.1, even though it was only tested with 2.3. This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much.

One small problem, and I suppose it could be a 2.1 problem, is that My past shows don’t seem to be working. I have about a dozen past shows that I can see in the gigpress admin panel, but they don’t show up when I put [gigpress_archive] into the page. Any ideas?

Also, choosing your own default country would be nice. So I don’t have to keep choosing ‘Canada’ from the drop-down list every time I create a new event.

All in all, a great plugin. Keep up the good work!

This is the perfect solution:
