ok I figured out my problem with getting 404 errors, so if anyone else has the issue maybe this will help you. I created a custom post type called “product” that I was listing my products under, however, in the shopping cart code, when you go to delete an item from the shopping cart, it uses name=”product” as a parameter to send a hidden field. I simply changed my custom post type name to “products” with an “s” so it is different than the cart code. Works like a charm now.

Resolved IE8 issue: http://themeforest.net/item/traject-wordpress-portfolio-and-business-theme/discussion/116671?page=19 says, “It looks like WordPress is formatting the code (adding paragraph tags where they don’t belong) which leads me to believe this is a shortcode you are using to add the “Add to Cart” buttons. If that is the case, it’s a really easy fix.

The theme implements some special functions to prevent WordPress from styling shortcodes that contain code, this occasionally causes conflicts with other shortcodes when nested or they don’t take similar measures. To fix it, just wrap your shortcode in the “[raw][/raw]” shortcode.

For example, if the shortcode for your buttons is “[add_to_cart]” you would enter it as:

[raw]
[add_to_cart]
[/raw]

And this worked for me! Thanks again for the great plugin — going to rate it now!

“We have added a workaround to the eStore plugin to address the cart clearing issue. We are still working on a fix for the Simple Shopping Cart at this time.”

Any news on the fix? I’m still having the same problem – when customers return from PayPal, the cart is still full.

@Hank, PHP session on your site doesn’t seem to be working correctly. Only your host can fix the PHP session problem.

Getting this message at the top of every page on my site. My provider can’t seem too help. Any clue as to how to fix?

Hi Glen,

This sounds like a PHP session issue. You will need to contact your hosting provider to fix this issue. They will need to check that the PHP session is turned on and configured properly. This should only take them a few minutes to do.

Let us know how this goes.

Continuing to shop and adding more items to my cart removes older items. Only one item stays in the cart. Am I doing something wrong? Thx.

I figured it out! I thought there was only 1 page that had code, but there were 2. On the second on, I had the letter O instead of a zero in the price.
