This will help you separately apply margins inside this div without affecting your header or footer. @Cheryl, You should create a new unique CSS div for your custom page body then place everything inside that div.

Trying to leave the header and footer stretching from side to side, with the content having a right and left margin if this is possible.

The idea here is you want to follow the above instruction - if you want to just copy and paste your html into the php file then stripe out the display header, display content, display footer in the code they gave above. Now select your template via the instructions in the tutorial in wp-admin. Once you click publish go back into the sale-page template and use the php reference codes found here at http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-content/uploads/wp-estore-shortcodes.pdf inplace of the original buy now image you had in your original html template. Once you save and refresh the page your custom buy now button you activated in you manage order settings will work just like the short code, the difference is you are using the php echo function references instead of the short codes. I hope this helps. This gives you the ability to use virtually anyhtml squeeze page template without the funkiness of Wordpress. So it turns out super sharp! I just got this working fully.

My question is...is their a way to specify the short code in the php file for the product? Here is what I did so far...I created a sales page template in my theme folder via your directions instead of calling the footer , body and header I stripped out that content and put it into a file with theThen I copied and pasted my html into the file below the php. My question is how do I craft the url of the buy now button so it works with this new sales page and wp-estore recognizes it? Can I use the shortcode in the html? which I think that will not work because I stripped out the wp body section in the php you gave.

You need to make sure the URL you are specifying for the image is correct. Simply copy and paste a URL in the browser's address bar to check if the URL is correct or not. If you upload the images using the WordPress's media uploader then it will give you the URL of the file after you finish uploading it. The images can be uploaded anywhere on your server.

I'm using my own html and I can't figure out where to upload the images to, in order for them to show correctly. I put them in the file with the php template and I'm just getting x's.

Basically the template file needs to have a call to the wp_head() and the wp_footer() function. You can view the source of your current sales page then copy that HTML code and place it where there is a line that says "Place all your HTML code...."<code> <?php /* Template Name: Sales Page */ </code> <code> wp_head(); ?> </code> <code> Replace this line and Place all your HTML code from your sales page here </code> <code> <?php wp_footer(); ?> </code> Here is an example of how your template file should look like.
