# [Plugin: eShop] “Array” appears – I don’t know why

 * Ever since updating to WordPress 2.9, editing a post causes all of the product
   options offered by eShop to be automatically entered for the post and set to “
   Array”. I am not editing or listing a product, just updating a normal post and
   suddenly it shows up in my product list with “array” listed in every possible
   place for product information. So I end up with a normal, non-product post with
   no images, listed as a product for $0.00 and $0.00 shipping with no limit on 
   stock. Is there a setting somewhere that I need to update?
 * Also, for version 4.1.1 I can’t turn of the message at the top of the dashboard
   that says
    “eShop 4.1.1 is now ready to use. You must now deactivate and re-activate
   the plugin.” I have followed the instructions multiple times but the message 
   won’t go away.
 * I really like eShop but I would like it even more if I could fix these two things.

 * I haven’t tested/released eshop for 2.9 as yet.

 * Ok. I’ll just be sure to double check any post revisions for now. Thanks.

 * actually the upgrade notice not disappearing has been an issue on some sites 
   and is usually indicative of something else not working correctly.
 * It used to be folder creation, as eshop creates 2 directories within wp-content–
   so check that those are there.

 * Just checked and here are the folders I have:
 * wp-content
    -plugins -eShop -authorizenet -cash -downloads -epn -files -ideallite-
   paypal -payson -webtopay
 * I don’t see anything else for eshop. Is something missing?

 * but has eshop created a eshop_downloads folder in wp-content, and an eshop_files
   folder in wp-content/uploads?

 * To add to it, check the permissions on the older too

 * I don’t see those. The only folders I see for eshop are wp-content–> plugins –
   > eshop –> etc. (listed above). I don’t see an eshop_downloads folder in wp-content
   or eshop_files folder in wp-content/uploads. Do I need to manually install these?
 * I also just installed the plugin update earlier today. I don’t know if that makes
   a difference, but it still shows the message at the top of the dashboard.

 * yes create those 2 directories, ensure they are writable (chmod 777) and deactivate/
   reactivate eShop. If all went well some files ill have been transferred across
   into those directories.

 * revisiting this – the array issue is one I have just come across but I currently
   have no idea why it has appeared – just delete the word array and updating the
   page fixes it though.

 * I am having a similar problem. I would really love to get this plugin working
   and activated. I have perused through google and read every question and forum
   topic about this same problem.
 * I’ve tried everything with no luck.
 * My problem is this:
 * When activating eshop, it says its “Activated” BUT, I see no eshop tab in my 
   wordpress admin panel and I am also getting the message at the top: “eShop 4.2.4
   is now ready to use. You must now deactivate and re-activate the plugin.”
 * Deactivating and Reactivating the plugin brings me to my website and displays
   my error 404 page.
 * I’ve tried changing permissions, creating those two directories as mentioned 
   above, setting the correct permissions on those. Can anyone help???!!
 * Please?
 * I am on WP 2.9

 * if eShop isn’t in the menu then delete the plugin.
 * then upload a single image via the media tab. If that works try downloading/installing
   eShop again.

   this message:

 * as I thought, this is not an eShop issue. I suggest you check through the forums/
   codex to see why you are getting that error. Fixing that should enable eShop 
   to be installed.

 * I created the two directories and deactivated and reactivated the plugin twice
   but the “4.2.3 now ready to use” message is still at the top and those directories
   are still empty. As far as I can tell it’s not affecting how the plugin works
   so I guess it will just have to stay like that, at least for now. Thanks for 
   all the help 🙂
