The author Chad had a flurry of activity 5 days ago. I did read that there would be no support this week but that Chad will be back after the 4th.

I deactivated EZPayPal and then activated it. Now I get a page which then automatically calls Paypal.

All I need is to find out how to run some php script after the user has paid for the license. The php script will simply generate a license Key code.

I would really like to modify the sent email so that it contains the Key code. Also I would like to have the Key Code presented to the user after the sale has completed.

Is this possible?

I have a product id ‘CutMasterPro’
I added this:

[ezshop buy=’CutMasterPro’]Buy CutMasterPro now![/ezshop]

First problem is that I want a button instead of a blue text link.
Second problem is that when I click this I get a WordPress error:

404 — Fancy meeting you here!

Thanks – you have been a big help. this is now resolved

OK – I’ve figured it out

I needed to insert ‘menu’ => $menu, before ‘container’ => ”,
for the array.

array(
‘menu’ => $menu,
‘container’ => ”,

<?php
    if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
        $menu = 'logged_on_menu';
    } else {
        $menu = 'logged_off_menu';
    }
?>

<?php if (has_nav_menu('primary', 'shell')) {
    ?>
        <?php wp_nav_menu(array(
	    'menu'           => $menu,
            'container'      => '',
            'menu_class'     => 'menu',
            'theme_location' => 'primary') );
    ?>

Ok then – that means I’m wasting my time trying to find this in one of the shell-lite files.

I believe then I’ve got the child theme working.

Next chore for me is to figure out how to build a test/staging area.
Since I’m the only one working on this web site I think I can get away with a single test/staging area.

I was thinking of creating a sub domain for testing purposes. I can then apply new updates for theme and plugins as well as add pages first in test area.

If I’m going to have a test database – is there a way of having 2 shell-lite installs that point to separate databases?

Thankyou – you have been very helpful. I have just about got the child theme the way I want it.

I have done this and of course that works. But when I upgraded shell-lite I lost that setting and had to go back and do it again.

I thought the whole purpose of Child theme is so you don’t loose customizations and settings.

You’d think that this setting should be set somewhere.

Ok

I had to clear the background color in the WordPress editor.
Then the child style sheet worked and I have the color I need.

I just started using child theme today – Luckily there were only 2 items that I lost when I updated the shell-lite theme.

The other issue is the header image. I don’t want the shell image – I want the underlying text.

Here is my child style.css

/*
Theme Name: shell-lite_child
Theme URI: http: //cabmaker32.com/
Description: This is a custom child theme I have created to make changes
Author: Garry Kernan
Author URI: http: //cabmaker32.com/
Template: shell-lite
Version: 0.1
*/

@import url(“../shell-lite/style.css”);

body {
background:#f5f5f5;
}

I tried that.

Here’s the thing. I log into WordPress as administrator.
I then go to background and set it to
#dcc695
for now call it tan

It changes.

I go into shell-lite_child\style.css and add
body{
background: #f5f5f5;
}

The color should change but it is still tan!

Furthermore if I search the shell-lite\style.css there is no evidence of dcc695

For a test to determine that my child style.css is being read I temporarily remove the line @import url(“../shell-lite/style.css”);
The styling disappears as expected – so I know that the file is being read.

I just have no idea where the color dcc695 is defined.
