Well, that sucks. I guess that I’m going to have to remove all my pages with Amazon links.

Thanks!

Thanks, Jeff. I’ve just gotten back to this, and did what you suggested, and I’ve now gotten this to work. I think the big problem was that the previous developer did not want to allow the user to change their nickname, but it wasn’t being passed as a hidden field.

It appears to me as though this author has decided to quit supporting this plugin. I ended up un-installing this it and going with Podcasting Plugin by TSG. It seems to work just fine.

I am also having this problem. I just installed Seriously Simple Podcasting on my website, but on the podcast page (https://commercialconversation.com/podcast/), the player is not displayed. It does show up just fine on an individual podcast page, though (https://commercialconversation.com/podcast/epds-with-heather-gadonniex/). Any thoughts?

This is apparently still a problem. I just installed Seriously Simple Podcasting on my website, but on the podcast page (https://commercialconversation.com/podcast/), the player is not displayed.

Thanks, Justin, but I I gave up on WP eCommerce and installed WooCommerce. I only had a dozen products or so, and it only took me about three hours to set it all up and get it running. I actually had the same problem with WooCommerce, i.e. wasn’t able to upload downloadable products, but WooCommmerce told me exactly why. Apparently WP will not upload .mobi or .epub files. WooCommerce gave me some kind of error message telling me this. WP eCommerce didn’t produce any error messages. It just didn’t upload the files.

Apparently, there are some plug-ins that will allow WP to upload .mobi and .epub files, but I didn’t bother with those. I simply uploaded them to my site and then put the file path into the appropriate box on the products edit page.

Unfortunately, this issue is still not resolved for me.

On KB6NU.Com, I’m running the latest version of WP eCommerce. In fact, I just updated it to the latest version just now. When I try to upload a product download, it looks like the upload occurs, and there’s no error message at all, but the product file never gets uploaded.

So, I tried uploading the files directly to /wp-content/uploads/wpsc/downloadables, and can do this successfully via ftp, but when I click on the “Add existing files” button on the product page, but the recently uploaded files don’t show up as options.

stevealined, this topic’s originator, mentioned that it might be a theme issue. Well, I changed my theme to the stock twentythirteen theme, and tried uploading again. Unfortunately, it’s working exactly the same way.

This is really disturbing to me because I was previously able to assign a product download to a product by manually uploading the files, but now I can’t even do that. Can anyone help me here, or do I have to just abandon WP eCommerce?

No help on this at all?

I noticed someone mentioned a possible issue with themes. I’m using a StudioPress theme.

Oh well, guess I’ll try WooCommerce.

I’m guessing that this plugin is no longer being supported. It hasn’t been updated since December 2012, and after upgrading to WP 3.9, it’s not really working quite right. I’d have a go at some maintenance, if the author would send me whatever documentation there is for this plugin.

I’m also experiencing this behavior after upgrading to WP 3.9 this morning.

Well, I’m not sure what was going on before, but now everything seems to be working fine. Sorry about the false alarm. My web host’s tech support guy was mucking with my account, so maybe he did something. Sorry again.

What you want to do is something like this:

function custom_search_query( $query ) {
	if ( $query->is_search ) {
		$meta_query_args = array(
			array(
				'key' => '__meta_field__',
				'value' => $query->query_vars['s'],
				'compare' => 'LIKE',
			),
		);
		$query->set('meta_query', $meta_query_args);
	};
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_search_query');

This only sort of works for me, though. What happens is that I get a search query like this:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id) INNER JOIN wp_postmeta AS mt1 ON (wp_posts.ID = mt1.post_id) INNER JOIN wp_postmeta AS mt2 ON (wp_posts.ID = mt2.post_id) INNER JOIN wp_postmeta AS mt3 ON (wp_posts.ID = mt3.post_id) WHERE 1=1 AND (((wp_posts.post_title LIKE '%universe%') OR (wp_posts.post_content LIKE '%universe%'))) AND (wp_posts.post_password = '') AND wp_posts.post_type IN ('post', 'page', 'attachment', 'key_concepts', 'quotes', 'terms') AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish') AND (mt1.meta_key = '__meta_field__' AND CAST(mt1.meta_value AS CHAR) LIKE '%universe%') GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_posts.post_title LIKE '%universe%' DESC, wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10

This really doesn’t work the way I want it to, though, because the search strings have be in both the title AND the custom post meta data. I need to figure out a way to exclude the post title from the search or make that last AND an OR.

My installation seems to have quit working, too. I’m able to set related posts, but they don’t display when I view a post. I checked the settings, and they seem to be fine.

I’m not sure when it quit, but I did recently upgrade to WP 3.8.

Hey…did you ever get any kind of an answer on this?

I’d not only like to decrease the time it takes to display, but also increase the amount of time that the acronym displays. Right now, in Chrome, the pop-up displays for only ten seconds, then disappears. I’d like it to keep displaying until I move the mouse away from over the acronym.

Thanks!
