    You can sort by product names in the "Manage Products" window.

    Sorry, I meant to say that since I have over 100 categories to assign a product to, is there a way to alphabetize the listing of the categories from the Manage Products area. So when I create a new product or edit an existing one, I can easily scroll down the list to assign the products to their proper categories.

    thanks!

    Makes sense. I will make it so the categories are listed alphabetically when you edit a product. This will go into the next eStore build (hopefully sometime tomorrow).

    Hello again.

    First of all, i apreciate all your help with the lightbox previous issue. I have solved it by recovering the original footer fie on my wp theme :)

    But now there s something with my sidebar categories :) that looks kinda funny.

    Maybe a mistake of mine while adding the products to the store (but i have categorized them correctly)... or should i really use a post to display the products? Or a maybe different way?

    I ask this because when i click on a store category all products appear on the post no matter what category they belong, which makes sense after all - because if we type every single product code on a post, it is supposed to be displaeyd no matter the store category it belongs.

    So, my question is:
    Is there any specific code to be writen on a post in order to display the products according to the categories they belong? (not displaying those that are not included on other store categories)

    Many thanks.

    *update*

    I have used the following short code on a post:

    [wp_eStore_all_products_stylish:end]

    But the litte issue seems to remain...

    Any hint is more than welcome :)

    Thanks again.

    If you want to display list of products from a particular category on a particular post then simply use the following shortcode:

    [wp_eStore_category_products:category_id:1:end]

    This post will explain more:

    Hello again.

    That was not exactly what i needed.

    I used another option: Giving a specific link to each category as we create the category itself on the back-end, but it re-loads the whole website as we select each category on the front end. I didn't really enjoyed the result. As for my business partner, well, he simply did not accept that at all.

    I am trying to display the products according to each category but without having to link each post to a specific category.
    Basically, i am trying to display the store (like a whole) and the products would change dynamically according to each category as we select it. Is that possible...?

    Thank you :)

    Nope, WP eStore does not do that. This is explained here:
    http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wordpress-ecommerce-knowledgebase-523#wp_estore_overview

    You need a shopping cart plugin similar to Instinct's eCommerce plugin for that. WP eStore takes a different approach to allow a greater degree of freedom in terms of customization.

    Hello.

    I see :) Either way, i will be using the wp estore because of the affiliates plugin ;)

    However, i will try the Instinct's on my personal website - for the test.

    Thank you.

    How would I go about displaying the categories in a grid? I set the width to be 33% so I could fit in 3 rows, but even though the category boxes got smaller, they all stayed in one row.
