Hi, I need for the whole site to be visible worldwide, and for prices to be visible regardless of being registered user or not with a UK IP address, and for prices to be visible ONLY for users outside the UK if they register.
Then I can control what people see outside the UK and (maybe) keep on the right side of the mighty Google.
This functionality is available with shopping cart software (I have seen it elsewhere) but I don’t get how I could use IQ Block Country with WP eCommerce for this.
Either that plugin will block users based on their IP address or it won’t.
I don’t want to block countries per se, I just want to block the prices alone if outside the UK, and only show those prices if they register.
I can control who registers no problem but the prices need to be hidden for users outside the UK until registered, and UK users would not be compelled to register to see the prices…..
Maybe the only way to do this is to beef up the site with a different method than using WP eCommerce, my question is not if people think it should be easy, but if it can be done with WP eCommerce, and by what method.
Cheers

Ah thanks for the tip Matt, I thought I’d done that, and about any other permutation I could think of. Gave it a go anyway but still got the same end result.
The update to WP eCommerce works fine but it screws up little bits of the cart when I do a test purchase with the old Gold Cart plugin, so I update the Gold Cart plugin and it all comes tumbling down.
For what it is I think I’ll leave it for now, maybe have another go in a few weeks, maybe when the next updates come around.
I just wanted to stay bang up to date all the time and be able to do it all myself, I had a developer do some work for me who disappeared after a while without telling me what custom code he had inserted and where.
I was left with a site I could not update after around July last year because every time I updated it broke the site, and starting to get worried about security etc…
I had the same issue as you with my old site that I could not update, with products (not pages or posts) I had to manually insert code to insert images into the body and upload the images via FTP.
A bit clunky but it got around the issue for a while…
Fun and games.

Hi I just updated WP eCommerce to the latest version (3.8.14) last night from the previous version. I am also running Gold Cart and have been trying to update that from 2.9.7.7 to 2.9.7.8.
I’ve only just got the site up and running in a folder on my server and am nearly ready to move to root, (this last week or two all the work has been done).
The previous versions of both WP eCommerce AND Gold Cart were working fine.
WP eCommerce is working fine as far as I can tell on the update and with the older version of Gold Cart.
If I update Gold Cart it all goes pear shaped…
My first thought with Gold Cart is that its an update, maybe a bug in there, just to run the (slightly) newer version of WP eCommerce with the (slightly) older version of Gold Cart, maybe try updating Gold Cart later. Anyone envisage any issues doing that?
I have updated WP eCommerce via the plugin tab on my backend and tried to manually update Gold Cart via FTP.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Cheers

Paul
