    I just installed the plugin and have the same problem as naderby. Can't save any category or new product. Get message "product saved" but database table is empty.

    My setup
    WP: 2.8.4
    MYSQL v5.0.67-community-nt
    Apache: 2.2

    I have 6 tables created by the eStore plugin in my database. All are empty. One thing I noticed is that the tables are prefixed twice with wp_ since I have setup my wordpress to prefix all tables with wp_.

    So the tables look like "wp_wp_estore_cat_prod_***"

    Thought this could be the problem so I tried renaming the tables to "wp_estore_cat_prod_***" but still doesn't work.

    Any ideas? I have high hopes for this plugin and really want to get it working asap! Thanks.

    UPDATE: I removed the wp_ prefix from my wordpress setup, reinstalled plugin but still can't save new products or categories.

    You should never have to manually rename tables and stuff. This should work nicely after you activate the plugin. You may have some condition on your site... would be good if I could take a look at it. I will send you an email.

    IIS7 - Windows Server 2008
    MySQL Version: 5.1.40-community
    PHP5 Version: 5.31
    WP: 2.9.1
    Theme: StudioBlue 1.0 by Elegant Wordpress Theme

    URL: Not live, by email only.

    Just installed plugin..(retail version)

    Cannot add products or cats.

    Tables are present. Strange latin1_swedish_ci Collation...all other tables are utf8_general_ci

    wp_wp_ prefix as well.

    Windows server could be an issue here (previously whenever this type to error occured it was on a Windows server).

    Did you see any error or warning when activating the plugin?

    Did 6 tables get created for the eStore?

    No errors. I run several WP sites with a myriad of plugins..never a problem. Yes all tables got created.. wp_wp_estore_

    The user above has the same issue on an apache server...so it's not the server.

    The main things I see wrong are the table names with the double wp_wp_ and
    the Collation is: latin1_swedish_ci instead of the utf8_general_ci as all my other tables are. Not sure my MYSQL is set up for the swedish CI.

    Table name is not an issue... the name can be anything. The collation should not be an issue either. The plugin does not specify what collation to use. It lets WordPress handle it when creating the table.

    Are you using it on a local machine?

    This is a server that is local to me. The site is live, but I don't want to post the URL here. (I can send in an email) I would like to work through a resolve and get this working.

    When I did the install, all I did was copy the eStore folder to my server locally. Let me try the install method online.. I will report back.

    Okay tried the install by using the WP upload process..still not working. This was on another install of WP as well. Obviously this has something to do with the way the plug-in writes to the database and the fact that this isn't happening. Did the other user have any luck fixing the issue?
