if it helps this it what I ended up doing.

i added a line about ‘select radio button’ also

wpsc-shipping / flatrate.php

line 200
// change ‘All 50 States’ to ‘Choose for – Alaska or Hawaii ~ (select radio button) >>’
line 197
// change to: ‘Choose for – Continental 48 States ~ (select radio button) >>’

might be the cache plugin. thats been a real problem for me, specially for keeping it in the grid view.

just updated to newest version, and got the blank checkout.

deleted cache plugin.

works

??

yeah emailed for an update a year ago, nothing, then emailed 3 weeks ago again, again nothing.

????

just gave a try for the heck of it.

it might be that your main description TAB needs to be ‘text’, not ‘visual’

other than that I added a new prod. and put a conan o brian vid up in 2 secs.

reminds me to look back into CloudFlare
theres a free version.

Loads a lot of your website from the cloud, and also there was some good security benefits from getting hacked.

you set your nameservers to CloudFlare servers.

Im an Artist, and a novice at this stuff by trial and error at best. ??

I think I’m seeing the spikes that may be causing my problem, Im glad my host gave some indication on how to fix.

Definitely make that Google setting change (link in my previous post)

<looks like its a 90 day setting, then google resets>

In Google Webmaster Tools
Crawl > Crawl Stats

Worth a try, at least before they get you to buy more RAM.

good luck

This was my last issue, it ‘may’ be yours too. But may not.

System administration has identified your account as using higher resources on the server housing your account. This is impacting other users, and we may be forced to suspend or have already suspended your site in order to stabilize the server.

We noticed that your site is being heavily ‘crawled’ by search engines. Search engines tend to mimic the effect of hundreds of visitors going through every portion of your site, often all at once.

You may wish to implement a robots.txt file in order to reduce this effect. This file contains instructions for well behaving ‘robots’ on how to crawl your site. You can find more information about this here:
https://www.robotstxt.org/.

The basic format would be as follows to block robots from the following (example) directories as well as set a 30 second delay between requests:

User-agent: *
Crawl-delay: 30
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /images/
Disallow: /tmp/
Disallow: /private/

Crawl-delay is an unofficial extension to the robots.txt standard but one that most popular search engines use. One notable example however is Google’s crawlers, which instead require you to set this delay in Google Webmaster Tools. We have a step-by-step guide on doing so at this URL:
https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/google-tools/setting-a-crawl-delay-in-google-webmaster-tools

The delay and directories which are disallowed for crawlers are particularly useful for parts of your sites like forums or ‘tag clouds’ that, while useful to human visitors, are troublesome in terms of how robots aggressively pass through them repeatedly.

You can also use your access logs to see how search engines are hitting your site. Let us know if you need help finding your logs in our control panel and we’ll be glad to help.

If your site is currently suspended, please contact us to lift the suspension in order to implement the above recommendation. As always, feel free to contact us with any further questions.

i’ll post what I just got from my host. Ive had an occasional email from them about system resources.

I have 1800 products.

using the IntenseDebate plugin.

also comments are set to YES in the store settings, with the IntenseDebate ID code.

By Default Display Comments on was set to ‘all products’, but I tried ‘per product’, and that seems like it might work.

if you have any insight Id appreciate it.

cool. glad you got it working

cool grid plugin, didnt know of that, but I have the gold one from the WPEC guys.

well post your site………..or

I use a plugin called firebug in mozilla firefox browser. you can select html, right click, click ‘Inspect Element with Firebug’. And it will pull up a browser with that area selected and show the DIV tag names you might search to find what your looking for.

I then search my WPEC folder for those words.

Has been amazingly helpful for finding these type of things to modify, including colors changes, font size changes etc.

You need some HTML backgroud to decipher the code.

**Comment out, try not to delete the code, then you can always go back if you mess things up.

these are PHP pages so use this <?php /*?>code to hide<?php */?>

separate folder, not the main WPEC folder

is in the gold cart plugin folder

check

gold_shopping_cart.php around line 582

should be what your looking for.

i get my grid view going to default view occasionally. I can only think with me it might be some plugin cache issue.

i have appended my hard links with the trailing grid code in the urls – /?view_type=grid

just to force the grid view.

???

did some checking, i have an art site where the artists are in an artist category, they seem to be generally in alpha order, but not nearly all.

I was able to move them 1 at a time (pain) where you add the catgories, you can click and drag. (if you have alot, you need them all show on 1 page to drag), option settings (top of page) make number more than cats you have.

drag is a little buggy and slow to initialize.

????

settings in the store area reorder the products (name or date, etc) on the front end, but didnt change any order in the drop downs for me.
