Where's the Add-To-Cart form? Impossible to add anything to cart.

The product shows up in the “Products” eShop page in wp-admin.

It seems every time I check “Stock available” then return to the edit page or the eShop Products page the checkmark is not checked.

Why can’t I make it “stock available”?

Ok, in order to get anything to work, I had to set “Stock Control” to “No”.

When I had Stock Control set to “Yes”, I was leaving all the stock fields empty. Is that what is causing the problem? Leaving the stock fields empty should mean unlimited stock, because if Stock Control is enabled, that shouldn’t mean that absolutely everything has stock. Some things do, some things don’t. Right now, without stock control, everything is unlimited, which isn’t the reality (I have downloads and physical items).

Hi Trusktr

According to the wiki, you must set a stock quantity if you have stock control enabled.

If you want unlimited stock, then turn off stock control. If you want an easy way to set stock for hundreds of products at once, then you might find my CSV Imp for Eshop plugin useful.

Thanks, nice plugin.

@elfin @esmi, I think it’d be nice if turning Stock Control on then leaving a field blank (or putting -1) would mean unlimited.

There no plans to add this to the core plugin at the present time.

That would help make eShop more robust.

If you’re willing to go through every product and enter ‘-1’, why not just enter ‘999’ instead?

A default that allows non-existant inventory to be sold seems like a bad idea that would cause a lot of hassle for the majority of users.

That said, it may be possible to add a switch to the eShop Magic plugin to alter the default behaviour of eShop for you.

Best wishes
