WOW!
Read mostly poor reviews about Gold Cart/Wp e-commerce and saw a few good ones. I am posting here because I noticed Musafa posted positive replies to several poor reviews on different sites and I am wondering if he is either a verified/trusted getshopped member or part of instinct and could help – Since the problem I have is reported several times by others on getshopped’s support forum but has not yet been resolved.
I am running WP 3.1.1 and once I activate the plugin I am unable to access the site – I get a 500 internal server error. I currently have other sites on this same service provider running WP 3.1.1 and using other commerce plugins and they work like a dream. As for troubleshooting I can confirm none of the following work:

1. Deactivate and even delete all other plugins
2. Upload php.ini file to wp-admin folder with increased memory
3. Add php.5 tag to htaccess
4. Restore permalinks to default
5. remove pingback

i can only assume it is a compatability issue at this point. When I go to their support forum eventhough the plugin is reported as compatible up to 3.1.2 I don’t even see that option in their drop down menu to classify the support issue when posting. Any suggestions? Or is wp-ecommerce just really as bad as folks are saying and I just gave them $95 for the heck of it?
