well ive installed wp ecommerce and got thematic as a starting point. what next? none of my widgets are draggable and none of my products are showing and the settings tabs in the plugin area doesn't work... clearly some sort of clash going on with javascript but not sure how to fix and cant find any documentation. any ideas guys?

uninstall it and use something else, it's a nightmare

really? have you tried shopp?

how is shopp? Looks nice. Thinking about using it for a client.

I'm still looking for a way to do Gift Registry though....
(I'm trying to use WP Ecommerce too, just because its free...)

no, I gave up. There doesn't seem to be a solid answer for small businesses. I just use paypal code now, with wordpress.

mrghost,
magento is nice but a bit much for my client.
The conclusion i've come to is that gift registry is something that needs to be custom developed. I haven't found any solutions that are worthwhile otherwise... thoughts?
- yeah... I've been looking for weeks. Time to start typing. arghmrghost

I just inherited a half-done site that was made in wordpress-ecommerce....
Any wisdom people have? things to avoid, things to do?
How much time is likely used up if I start over with shopp?
- I'm not sure there's an easy to get your data out of wp-ecommerce so if there are like hundreds of store items it could be a pain to start over

Never used shopp but wp-ecommerce just irks the shit out of me. There's hardly any documentation and it's buggy as hell. Fuckin won't properly calculate state taxes? Major fail assholes. There are some decent features but like atkinson said its fucking crazy that there aren't really any shopping carts out there for wordpress that amount to much (although shopp does look promising...but then so does every fucking add-on till you're up at 3 am trying to get the shit working and hoping the question you asked in their wack ass support forum will get answered in less than a month)
- interesting perspective.. luckily client has to redo inventory anyway...vaxorcist

By no means should you use wp ecommerce. Buggy as hell.
