In reply to: Stats page shows wrong numbers?Arg… if you google “wordpress support” you end up here.
Maybe a big note at the top of the page in the main subject display might help?

In reply to: [Twenty Twelve] Bad HTML in Twenty TwelveThe point is being avoided here it seems…
Long and short, H1 should be used to indicate the “main title” of the page. There should generally not be more than one H1.
H1 is not “make text bigger”. That is a style change, and should be handled in CSS. Using H1 abuses the HTML and removes semantic content.
Twenty Twelve uses all of the H tags seemingly at random, as style notes. This is bad. Bad bad bad.
In the end I decided that PrestaShop would be the best starting point. It offered most of the multi-site features that we needed, including different tax rates, shipping, pricing and logistics settings.
You can change any of these and populate “upstream” very easily. For instance, if you want to change the description of a product on all stores you select the global level and make the edit. If you want to change the price for all stores in the Caribbean, you select the appropriate store group and change the price, which rolls into all of the stores in that group, but not Canada, for instance.
The major downside was that the “blog side” was hopeless and most of the connectors for WP or Drupal were essentially inactive. But that seemed like the lessor of all evils. Moreover most of the product knowledge is in Europe, which I saw as a risk area. In the end I found a local developer, and the project os underway.
Wish me luck!

In reply to: [WooCommerce] [Plugin: WooCommerce] Multishop SiteActually it looks like MarketPress does indeed handle multisite in the fashion I imagined.
Now I have to look at that package and see if it does what I want in other fields.
If only this were easy!

In reply to: [WooCommerce] [Plugin: WooCommerce] Multishop SiteThanks AJ!
This is indeed a problem, it seems to limit us to either Drupal or Presta for this feature in precisely the form I imagine it (I know Presta does this, actually not sure about DrupalCommerce).
The problem with running several different isolated instances is that you don’t get the correct inventory management or order routing. We have different product selections and prices in different areas, but all of the order flow back into a single warehouse. Then you get into all sorts of workflow problems – overlapping order ID’s, having to check different places to find an order, etc.
I *don’t* want to have to write code to make this work, so it looks like WooCommerce is not an option.
Does anyone know if any of the other WP ecommerce solutions offer true multi-site support?

In reply to: [WooCommerce] [Plugin: WooCommerce] Multishop SiteReading this thread, it seems that WooCommerce might do something I’m looking for…
I’m barely aware of WP’s multi-site feature. I have multiple blogs on wp.com, but I’ve never tried, for instance, putting up a post that appears on both sites. But I do understand this is possible?
Does all of that MP functionality map through into Woo? IE, can I put a product into the system and then list which of the network sub-sites it appears in?
Most of our products sell in all markets, but a few don’t… I’d rather have MU handle this than have to put text in the description like “not available in Ontario”.
None of the major online players (Volusion, Shopify, etc.) have this feature. Drupal and Presta can do it, but I’d love to stay in the WP world.
