I just wanted to add that I recently had this problem – it seemed like somehow the program had gotten its default link values mixed up – everything just went to the main store page. I think a few things contributed: one, my client had a lot of “store” pages left over from at least one other attempt to install a shopping cart, and because of the word “store” in the slugs it kept sometimes using those pages. Also, I think some of the pages it *was* supposed to be using became unrelated as child pages to the main store page for some reason–when I looked at pages like Cart and Receipt they didn’t show any parent page at all (I could have just reassigned them, but I had already decided to start over and be thorough). Thirdly I’d changed the name of the store page several times. Somewhere along the line, the default values of things had gotten mixed up.
I looked in the database via phpMyadmin to see if I could change the values by hand, but it was late and I wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t find it. So later I just exported the “wp_simpleecommcart_products” table and a few others from the database, deleted the plugin, deleted all the pages it had created plus the ones that were causing confusion (and removed them from the trash, too). I reinstalled, uploaded the tables again and everything worked.
Just recording my steps in case someone else has the same problem.
Even more news! I just found out that deactivating the “Bind User To Category” plugin seems to have solved the problem, at least for now. I’ll start adding products and see how it holds up.
Niaz: Just as an update, I changed the site’s theme briefly to Twenty Ten to see if it was a theme thing, but unfortunately it didn’t solve the problem – the back end menus still weren’t responding. (Also, I’ve been finding increasingly that the Ajax menus on the WP Dashboard are refusing to work whether I’m on the Simple eCommerce control pages or not.) As far as browser issues, I use Firefox for Windows and I don’t know what my client uses but he’s had the same issue. I logged in with Internet Explorer and tried there but still couldn’t open anything. Only thing that solves the problem so far is disabling Simple eCommerce.
Hope you can get to the bottom of this because it seems like quite a nice plugin and I’d love to use it. 🙂
Hi Niaz – I just created a login and had the system send the password to the gmail address on your WP profile. If you need more information let me know.
I wasn’t sure what you meant at first, but I took out “active” out of that bit of CSS and it works! Thank you so much! 😀
It is now activated. 🙂
http://www.lappg.com. I don’t have the plugin activated just now. Does it need to be for you to look into what’s wrong?

In reply to: Is it possible to embed a choose-the-pixel-size-for-your-ad board into WP?For the moment, never mind. In my initial check I didn’t see evidence this site was on WP, but it turns out it already is. o_O As you were.
Hi wptorgue and antichason – thank you so much for chiming in, especially so quickly. And antichason’s suggestion to check the .htaccess fixed it – yay! It was in fact still referring to /wordpress-1/. Now I’ll be smarter for next next time. 🙂

In reply to: Importing database from 2.7.1 install to 3.1.3 giving me errorsThanks, t-p, for the link. I’ve been following those instructions (forgot to mention) and have tried the incremental upload many many (many) times at this point. Just tried it again tonight – couldn’t even get from 2.7.1 to 2.9 without getting the error listed above as soon as the upgrade was done – normally I remember getting farther than that, but then I also don’t remember getting the database upgrade message at the 2.9 level previously. Weird.
Again, to keep the existing site up while trying to work this out, I’m working on a separate folder on the server. This time, as a slightly different tack, I decided to make an exact copy of the live installation. I copied the entire folder, renamed it slightly and uploaded it back to the server. I deactivated the plugins by renaming the plugins folder to the very pithy “plugins-deactivated”. I created a new database (though Earthlink’s phpMyadmin system won’t let you copy a database directly into a new one, I created my own empty one and then imported the back up into it). I changed the config.php in the duplicate folder to connect to the duplicate database. I changed some urls in the database itself to correspond with the new folder address. It didn’t work at first, but then I reinstalled 2.7.1 and all was well. I then followed the directions from your link to upgrade to 2.9. Again, everything worked until the database upgrade.
I really have no idea what to do at this point.

In reply to: WordPress Importer 0.4 Not importingThanks very much for the offer, Jon. An email was duly sent last night.

In reply to: WordPress Importer 0.4 Not importingOkay, I’ve done lots (and lots) of incremental upgrading at this point (taking my instructions from this post, except I did jump from 3.0.4 to 3.1.3, instead of just 3.1), and every time I get to a version that needs to use the WordPress Importer 0.4 plugin I get a blank Dashboard page after I hit “Upload file and import.” The blog itself goes to white screen after that. At no time in the incremental upgrading did any version ever tell me I needed to update or reconfigure the database to match the new version and then do so (I don’t know if that was just wishful thinking on my part, but I do think I read somewhere that might occur. Is there anything that can be done to reconfigure the database if in fact it DOESN’T match anymore, a plugin or something? I haven’t opened up my saved db and looked at it to compare it to the latest version but this seems likely, somehow.) Anyway, basically I can get as far as 3.0.4 and no further.
I don’t suppose anybody’s cracked this case in the last three days or so, or has any new ideas of what to try?

In reply to: WordPress Importer 0.4 Not importingI checked with the hosting company and the version of php they’re on is 5.2 something (they just told me and I forgot what the third number was. :-/) Anyway, they’re apparently also in the process of upgrading to 5.3. I will try upgrading the memory limit and see how that goes.
BTW, I’m back down to version 2.8.1 of WP, and I’ve been told that from older versions it’s best to upgrade incrementally instead of jumping right to the latest version. I’m going to try that, except that when I try to go to the link to download earlier versions (http://static.ww.wp.xz.cn/archive/) I get a “You don’t have permission to access /archive/ on this server.” Same thing happens if I take “access” off the end of the URL. I have some old versions saved but if I don’t have the right ones, this could be a problem.

In reply to: WordPress Importer 0.4 Not importingI think I’ve maybe figured out what my problem is, I don’t know if it relates to anyone else. I was updating from a fairly old version of WP – 2.7.1 or something – and I think perhaps the structure of the database used now is different enough that the database I have just doesn’t match anymore, somehow, and makes importing not work. I reinstalled the old version of WP on the server in separate folder and brought in the database without a hitch, then recreated the client’s site for the time being. I’ve been hanging out on this thread, this thread and this post, seeing how I can get things to work. We’ll see if any of it makes a difference.
