I’m much too scared to do it myself, but I’m saving these snippets of code to send to whoever I hire to handle it. Asking around for good pros right now. Thanks for another option! Hopefully one will work and things will look awesome.

Sweet! That was easy and I’m back in. Site functions. All is well. I’ll hire a developer to handle this issue for me. Lesson learned! Thanks Terry for the quick response!!

Eep! I tried James’ solution and totally screwed everything up!

I can’t get into my dashboard now. My site isn’t working.
I just popped the remove action code into the functions.php and holy crapola, batman!
Is there something I can do in ftp to fix this ASAP and get myself back up and running tonight? Clearly I need to hire someone to fix this little bit of code for me.

So I used a completely different computer and the problem persisted. It’s an issue on:
Mac – Chrome
Mac – Firefox
Windows – Firefox
Windows – IE

Is there a file I can access in FTP and just change something in there…. likely just changing a 0 to a 1 or something…..? I mean, it should be a simple fix if I can figure out where it is. Just a switch to flip.

I’m trying to launch today and can’t do it if I can’t get out of test mode. haha. Thanks!!

Thanks Esmi and Puppet!
I went into my FTP and renamed the shop folder. My WP shop page showed back up! Now I’m just going to leave the useless shop folder and forget about it. haha. I’m sure it’s an artifact from my multiple attempts to find a shopping cart I like.

Yes.
Should I perhaps delete it and create a new /shop page?

Hmm… read through the link. Thanks, Rich. Not sure if I need that….
Wondering if restarting my computer (ie closing all my browsers down) would give it a chance to fix?

Thanks for all the help! I’m ready to be out of test mode! *grin*

how would I find a “different jquery version” of eShop? Why would there be a different version of eShop??

Sorry. I’m a newbie at all of this!

I’m back….
I fixed the products issue using the subpages shortcode that Esmi suggested (thanks!!).

But I still can’t go live. I’ve tried Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. None of these give me an option in Settings > eShop > General to go “live” or be in test mode or anything. But I am definitely in test mode, it says so in a banner on my admin page and also when I go through the checkout process.

Where is this “go live” button supposed to be? What does it look like? Why might I not be able to find it in any of the eShop pages in my admin area, despite using multiple browsers?

Yeah I have that list from the website. Just not sure which of those would let me call up a list of all my products (or a section of my products) without me having to type in specific product numbers or needing to insert tags or categories into the shortcode. Because tags and categories are only aspects of posts. And my products are pages.

Does that make sense? Esmi, I feel like we’re mis-communicating a bit. Let me know if I need to clarify more. I’ll try my best.

Or tags….
“
eshop_list_cat_tags
Display a list of products using tags or categories. Attributes:

type: Available values are:
cat: the category id
category_name: the category slug
tag: the tag name
tag_id: the tag id
find: Used to define the WordPress category or tag that you want to display. Multiple category ids, tag ids or tag names can be used (separated by commas) but only a single category slug can be used.
Example: [eshop_list_cat_tags type=”category_name” find=”belt”]
“
And you can’t tag pages either, can you?
WordPress has a larger learning curve than I’m used to. I’m good with gooey stuff, and WP is gooey enough that I thought I would instantly get everything. But going from an average looking site to a great looking site that functions well is REALLY hard for me.

Yeah I looked at that page. But I couldn’t figure out which one I could use to call up pages and not posts. They all work with “categories” which you don’t have with pages, right?

Hi Esmi!

Thanks for the help. I’ll go try that today. I’m actually going to give my computer a much-needed restart during the process too. haha

So is there a shortcode I’m supposed to use to display the products on the pages? See when I went to do it, it asked for a category name. But categories are only available to posts, right? I’m pretty new to WP so there’s probably something I’m missing here. Thanks for your help!

And, as with every shopping cart I try, I work on it for at least a day and then discover a deal-breaker.

Apparently you have to use WP posts for your product pages, not WP pages? But, my site has a blog too. And the blog uses posts. I don’t want my products showing up on my blog.

Is there perhaps a way to prohibit a particular post from going onto the blog?

So I spoke with a techy friend and we’ve decided since I’m at such beginning stages, I’m just going to start from scratch with a fresh install. I’m even switching hosts because I really don’t like the one I’ve got anyway.

If anyone else runs across this problem, it looks like a file is missing in my WordPress install. Google what files you should have and cross-check with your own in ftp.

And if you’ve only just begun, it will be faster to just delete everything and freshly install the program. Promise!
