Every page now showing products page after install of WP E-Commerce - e-commerce

I recently installed WP E-Commerce thinking it would be a snap to get a simple store running but after installation, no matter what page I go to, Wordpress loads the products page. I didn't change anything about my code and WP EC comes set to only appear on its "Products Page" so this doesn't make any sense to me.
Why is nothing ever as simple as it claims... why is there always some minor mystery snag that complete halts progress?? Frustrated.
Input or experience with this problem is highly appreciated.

I found changing the permalink structure (and then changing it back if desired) fixed this very odd problem. It's mentioned on this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-pagination-for-products-not-working

Yoast SEO meta description not saving

I generate a Focus Keyphrase and Meta Description in Yoast SEO meta box for my Home Page. But when I exit the editor, if I go back to the Home Page, the Focus Keyphrase and Meta Description have disappeared.
Does anyone know how I can keep them?
Thanks
I spent easily 5 hours trying to track down and fix an issue with Yoast meta fields not saving properly. The only real clue I had was this console error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'registerPlugin') at window.wpseoScriptData.window.wpseoScriptData.featuredImage.i.registerPlugin (post-edit.js)
Based on this Yoast Github issue, it appears that the needed YoastSEO javascript app is not there when it's being called in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/js/dist/post-edit.js when the page is loading, and Yoast javascript app is not actually there, so it bonks.
So there may be something somewhere that is dequeuing the needed javascript that builds the YoastSEO object. One thing to check is to search your code base (excluding the Yoast plugin itself) for instances of wpseo, yoast, etc. If you find some code that is dequeuing/removing something, that might be it. If you have a plugin with results, deactivate if you can and check if that fixes anything.
I also noticed that the SEO Analysis drawer never loads and has the loading spinner running indefinitely. The javascript that controls the setting fields seems to work, but when you save it doesn't actually save, it just goes into the void.
All that said... I wasn't able to figure out what was wrong, but I did get it to start working again. Here's what worked for me...
After reading through a lot of different issue threads, I stumbled across some issues around security plugins blocking parts of the install process. I have my Wordfence settings dialed up pretty strict, so I deactivated it per recommendations while we go through re-installing Yoast.
After making sure that your security plugin(s) are deactivated, then deactivate and uninstall Yoast. Apparently you don't need to remove the plugin data, just uninstall. (This is also a good time to update other plugins if you haven't already).
Once you reinstall Yoast, you should have a button available to reindex the "indexables" that you need to click. It might be on the Dashboard, I don't remember. If you don't see it, you might go to Search Appearance > General > Rewrite tables > Force rewrite titles and Enable that, then save changes. I'm not 100% positive, but it seemed like after I did that, there was a panel in the General settings Dashboard or something, that said something along the lines of "Looks like some settings have changed, you should re-index your indexables now" with a button to start the process.
I also had to turn "Show SEO settings for Posts/Pages?" back on under Search Appearance > Content types. After I reinstalled, those were disabled. So maybe that helped Yoast know to load the javascript properly.
I'm not super familiar with Yoast, as you can probably tell, but after doing all this, it's working.
I believe you can also trigger the reindexing process from the CLI if you want, and that it's recommended if you have a large site with over 10k posts or whatnot.
Hope all this helps!

Bootstrap carousel doesn't start automatically

It may appear a repeated question but it is a serious one and I found no solution for it in any related question.
I have downloaded a bootstrap theme from ShapeBootstrap website
Demo theme
I use Firefox 30. As you may see in the demo page too, the slider doesn't start automatically! however if one click on the next slide it starts running!
I did anything I read in the similar questions but nothing happened!
The order of scripts is OK
It is in the end of file
No error reported in console ...
You can view and follow the source code of the demo page. Everything is in its place. But I wonder why it has this problem even in the official website of the theme.
Please guide me what can I do.
To understand what was going wrong was difficult!
I replaced the carousal section(html) with this one from http://startbootstrap.com/templates/full-slider/
I added full-slider.css to the list of my css files and used the latest version of bootstrap script and now it works!

Wrong image path updating from prestashop 1.4 to 1.6

After two intense days of messing with Prestashop, I'm facing a problem, and my numerous searches gave nothing.
I have to update a prestashop ver. 1.4 to 1.6. Once I updated, product images won't show :
the website is looking for a path like this src="http://siteurl.com/86-home_default/arbre-a-chat-amelia.jpg...
But on our server, files are using another structure : http://siteurl.com/img/p/8/6/ etc...
I tried with and without "legacy mode" (I can't modify php safe mode). There's no sign of any "move" option in prestashop 1.6 admin, and tricks to made this button appear (on 1.5) won't work.
Is there any way to edit how images are found? After trying to update from scratch again and again, is this safer to "just" update to 1.5.x, and then 1.6?
I'm sorry if there is only few elements here, but any help is much appreciated and I'll do my best to explain missing points if needed.
I had got the same problem but updating from 1.4 to 1.5. My problem was that the new template of 1.5 uses images in this way *_default (home_default, small_default, etc). When I updated the images weren't shown because the path referenced was wrong. The solution for me was add "_default" in Preferences -> Images to every image type and then click in Regenerate images.
Somehow urls were broken, maybe from too much legacy mode switching... Neither friendly URL desactivation or image regeneration worked.
Managed to "workaround" this by copying an old backup on wamp, in order to have safe_mode off... Then, this "move images" button was here, and totally functionnal, with image regeneration and all I needed (I don't know why I haven't thought about it earlier...).
Thanks for your support !

Mechanical Turk - can't view HIT, appears blank

I m trying to setup a few image categorization tasks on Mechanical Turk sandbox developer version. When I try to view the HIT(the annotation image), it appears blank. I clicked on the 'Accept HIT' button but I still couldn't see anything.
In order to make sure that nothing was wrong with my project setup in particular, I signed in as a worker to accept HITS on other projects involving image categorization. I still continue to see a blank image in their categorization projects, where the image to be annotated is supposed to be displayed.
Can anyone help with this problem?Thanks.
Problem solved - it was a simple browser incompatibility problem.
I know you have already answered this for yourself, however for other requesters out there I think this may be useful.
I was developing HITs and I too was having issues view the HIT in Sandbox in Chrome and Firefox, I realized that it had something to do with the script being blocked by the browser and the way to fix this was to "unblock the content" - usually a shield icon in the URL bar.
When further developing my HIT I added information about how to see the HIT in the description box of the HIT so turkers could read the instructions and then work on the HIT - to be absolutely clear to the turkers, I added a "(READ DESCRIPTION)" in the title so turkers would know where to look.
Hope this helps!

Divshot Page Editor - No Navigator?

I'm checking out DivShot for the first time, and have fallen at the first hurdle.
On launching the app, I get the page editing screen, as expected, with the Inspector, Components and Page Options tabs on the right hand side of the screen.
But on the left hand side, there is no Navigator. And I can find no reference to the Navigator anywhere on the screen (thinking it might be a collapsed area, or something).
Looking at the Intro video on the Divshot website, there do seem to be some minor differences (the lack of the Navigator notwithstanding), so I am wondering whether something has changed in the latest release...
In any case, I can see no way of add files/resources/folder structures other than new pages, because of the absence of the Navigator.
Can anyone shed any light?
Much appreciated :)
It sounds like you're using the now legacy version of Divshot. We recently launched Divshot 1.0 with file support and a completely revamped project structure.
Legacy: http://app.divshot.com
New Divshot: http://builder.divshot.com
It's on a separate instance so beta users have time to export their pages and finish anything up in the old version before upgrading. Since we moved from generic folders and pages to actual files we're offering a manual upgrade.
If you'd like to update you can just go to https://api.divshot.com/upgrade and follow the instructions there. We're pushing a notice to the old version right away to eliminate any confusion. Sorry about that!
