I’ve been using wp-e-commerce/wp-shopping-cart from Instinct with some success. There are tons of other plugins out there designed to use with Paypal, though. This one allows integration of Authorize.net as a “gold” option. Had some initial compatibility problems, but the latest version seems much better.

Cheers!

Wow! For anyone with similar problem, discovered the fix…

The hook save_post is fired for autosave; however, any custom data won’t be attached to the post at that point. So, the plugin must do 3 things to work with this design: (1) add a hidden input field to the custom data form, (2) check for that hidden field before doing anything (simply return the post id if not found), and (3) check for autosave before doing anything (again, return the post id if autosave is defined).

This was recently added to add_meta_box page:

Again, I appreciate your help…
Any suggestions on better formatting my emails for display on the wp-hackers list?

Many thanks. Never thought to check but my IT guy has changed outgoing mail from brewerradio.com to brewermediagroup.com with recent company change…think I just saw it post.

Cheers!

I’ve checked…
Let me try re-sending

Thanks, MichaelH. Joined the wp-hackers list, submitted my question, still hasn’t posted yet…

anybody?? sorry to bump, I’m on a deadline…

I’ve always found Godaddy’s support right-on. They were very helpful to get me back up the ONE TIME I’ve gone down in the last 3 years. Don’t know what kind of problems you’ve had, kperrone, but 1 outtage in 3 years ain’t half bad. You do have to wait on hold a while when calling tech support, but when it’s only once in 3 years, I don’t mind it too bad ??

Oh, and we served around 15,000 pages one Saturday, which got us suspended from our shared hosting, the reason we moved to grid. They won’t shut you down for occasional spikes, and they are handled much better. We probably average 2,000 on a normal day.

We use Godaddy’s grid hosting; slightly better than regular shared hosting; much more economical than dedicated. Can’t remember, but I want to say it was around $15/mo.

Maybe it’s not even a WP bug, but rather a plugin compatibility issue.

It is absolutely a plugin compatibility issue. When a revision is saved, the revision has a different post ID than the actual post does, so your custom fields plugin is incorrectly using that revision’s ID instead of the actual post ID of the real post. It’s the same issue that broke podPress, and it’s generally fixed by adding a couple more lines of code to the plugin.

Otto, I am developing a plugin, and have run into this issue, just found this info…

What code would I need to add to reference the actual post # instead of the revision #?

many thanks,

I’m having the same issue…did you ever get this resolved? My site’s in production now, so I can’t change the permalink structure to resolve the issue…

Uh…. ?? At first blush, I realize that I just remove my new query option to get my articles to display as needed. And I believe I can use the link for conditional tags to detect the category and have some automagically rendered category-specific data !

Sometimes it just needs to be talked through, I suppose.

Thanks, that works for somethings…

however, I may need to rethink the way I’ve been doing things…I had a custom loop where I was pulling in the articles pertaining to that category:
<?php $recentPosts = new WP_Query('showposts=1&amp;cat='.$catid); ?>

So, without the category id, this code obviously won’t work. Can I use the category name instead? If so, how do I get? I believe get_category() is used in conjunction with a specific post, correct?

I may be a little mis-guided…I’m using wordpress as a CMS and have a custom menu where I’ve linked to the categories. It used to be …/?cat=9, etc. And even though those links still actually work, the URL parameter is gone (ie, i can use $_GET[‘cat’] ). Can someone set me straight?

Many thanks!
