Install WP e-Commerce Grid View to showcase your products using a grid view layout. Grid view gives your front end user a greatly enhanced browsing and shopping experience on your site.
The plugin automatically gives grid view functionality on WP e-Commerce when installed and activated.
Product feature Image Scaling
Grid View Image Scaling will enhanced your shoppers visual experience.
Download WP e-Commerce Grid view for free from WordPress. However if your are trying to create a unique shopping experience for your customers by using grid product layout then you will want to go that little bit further with grid view image scaling. See the dramatic difference in visual experience image scaling makes.
Here is a grid view of 4 products without scaling.
The same 4 images with Grid View image scaling.
Image scaling creates a far superior visual experience for the front end user – the customer. That is why we believe that it is a must have feature that is well worth the small investment.
** Category Thumbnail Scaling now supported
Single Product Pages.
WP e-Commerce Grid View only scales the Grid View images – not your single product page images. For that feature we suggest that you also look at the WP e-Commerce Dynamic Gallery plugin. Together the two plugins will go a long way towards creating a unique visual shopping experience that your customers are looking for.
Instillation Tip:
If you have the Lite version installed deactivate it before you install the Pro version, otherwise you may get an ‘failed’ to install notice when you try to install this Pro version. Always a good idea to delete the Lite version after you have activated Pro. It is ‘best practice’ to always delete deactivated plugins if you are not intending to reactivate them soon.
Compatibility
This plugin is tested 100% compatible with WordPress 2.9 to 3.5.1 and WP e-Commerce v3.8.9.5 and backwards.
Yes I do….
And many reasons to do that.
Where is your respon my comment bellow…? i’ve deactive this plugin cause just wasting my time to wait your respons and wait for connecting to api server.
Hello Jumhurul.
I don’t think that this going to work – If it is OK with you I will send you a 100% refund via PayPal. That will cancel the license and you can use the Free Lite version of the plugin or use the Getshopped.org Gold Cart plugin which is US$47 but activates Grid View in the WP e-Commerce plugin.
I’ve 3 times to contact the admin, and 5 minutes a go you’ve give me the Authorization Key, when i activated the Authorization Key, i’ve damn problem again and i have the message “Can not connect to api server, please contact to admin@a3rev.com about this problem”.
How about that…?
Hello Jumhurul,
You are an aggressive person – why?
The a3API is showing that the plugin is installed and activated and license activated
Please let me know if you still think it is not activated?
Thank you and peace and happiness to you.
Steve
Hi there, I’am Jumhurul Umami I’ve buy the plugin (WP-Ecommerce Grid View, but till now i have no the Authorization Key, this is a HOAX….? You’ve sell something but never answer my questions.
just give me the Authorization Key now…
Hello there – I’m Steve,
You obviously have been getting my emails or you could not log in here.
Here is the email I just sent you in case you don’t get it.
Please let me know if you are still confused or feel you are being hoaxed.
Never mind, I figured it out.
Sorry, I will post when I have a real problem.
Thanks,
Hi Richard,
That permissions error message is from WordPress and not our plugin. It means that you do not have the WP e-Commerce plugin activated on the site. WP e-Commerce Grid View is a Child plugin of the WP e-Commerce plugin. It must be installed and activated for our plugin to be able to work. Hope that helps.
I just purchased Grid View Pro and installed it all the way to the point where it asks for the License Key. When I put in the the License Key it says the following on screen: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page. I have deactivated it and deleted it and reinstalled with no luck.
What am I doing wrong, seems simple enough to install. I am using it with Word Press 3.5.1.
Thanks,
Richard
Sorry. I deactivated the pluging and reactivat it and ir t asked me for the license. Its working now.
Thank you
Rui
Hi.
I have WP e-Commerce Grid View Pro license (################################) and it was working fine. Today I moved the test site to production and I don’t know how activate the plugin. The WP e-Commerce and WP e-Commerce Catalog Visibility Email inquiry PRO are working fine, but the Grid View Pro doesn’t. What am I missing?
Thank you.
Rui Freitas
Hello Rui,
Thanks for letting me know – did you see on your dashboard that you have a WP Email Template Single site Pro License that we gave you to celebrate our 100,000th download a month or so ago – that you are not using – Its especially useful with WP e-Commerce stores as it allows you to style the plain text emails sent from the store. You can see that on the ‘Downloads’ tab on your a3rev My Account. Thank you.
I am trying to activate my Grid View Pro, and I keep getting this message:
Can not connect to api server, please contact to admin@a3rev.com about this problem”
How can I fix this?
Hello Dawn,
Are you still unable to connect to the activate the plugin because it cannot connect with the a3api?
If that is the case you will need to contact your server host. They either don’t have the default Port 80 open (unlikely) or that have a command in the .htaccess that is blocking the call going out from the server to the public Amazon cloud where the a3api is hosted.
I already purchased this product but need authorisation key I have emailed and emailed please send key so I can unlock it
Hello Cathy,
Please read the detailed instructions that are on the Welcome / Download manager email. You have that because I see you followed the instructions and logged into your account and downloaded the plugin and installed it. But just in case you have deleted it I’ll copy them for you here.
Cathy – as that explains we do not do support by email.
Next your License Key:
Cathy on the ‘Downloads’ tab where you went to download the plugin you will see the license key under the Plugin name. It is a 32 character long unique key. Here is the link to that tab http://a3rev.com/my-account/downloads/ – you have to be logged into your account to access it.
Cathy the rest of that email is worth reading as it explains how your a3rev My-Account License manager works. Please let me know if I can be of anymore help on here. Please don’t email for support – as you have found it does not work to do that. Thank you.
We have purchased the PRO version of grid view. So far so good. The only problem is that for SOME of the products pages the first element splits over two columns thus leaving the third one on a separate row below before it all starts over again looking normal for the next lot of three items (we have chosen to view three items on a row).
NB! The above only counts for Internet Explorer and not for Firefox.
On the pages for viewing other goods there is a different problem; the frame surrounding the items for sale only surrounds column A but the items are displayed OK. This counts for both IE and Firefox.
We’ve spent a lot of time trying to search for any CSS code triggering both but with no luck – sigh!
The items are available from the stor behind the Nettbutikk on the top menu.
Thank you for your assistance!
Hello Ida,
Please be aware that what Grid View does is activate the Grid View feature in the WP e-Commerce plugin and auto scales product images for grid view – that is why the WP e-Commerce Grid View plugin has no settings. Once the Grid View feature is activated everything else is controlled by the WP e-Commerce plugin settings and the style by your theme.
You can find a couple of useful links to the WP e-Commerce Wiki from the a3rev plugins wiki. We don’t have much in the way of docs on this plugin because again all the settings are from the WP e-Commerce plugin and the instructions for setting up Grid view are on their docs. Thank you and all the best with your site.
Sorry, my bad. I will post my earlier question to the link you provided. I am seriously considering the upgrade. Is there a comparison chart for Grid View Lite and Pro?
Any way to get Dynamic view to show on the individual product page when using Grid View?
Hi Michelle,
Actually had a look and I cannot see where you have a Pro Version License registered under the email address you are using to post to these Pro Version forums. Please post using the email address you used in registering your Pro Version license and I will give you same day priority support here.
If yo in fact have the free lite version please post all support requests to the plugins forum on WordPress and i will respond when time permits. Here is the link to the WP forum. Thank you
LOVE how grid view works on my main page, where I have each of my groups/shop categories. But how do I get it to work with all the groups/pages in my shop? When I click the group/category, I get a page that lists one product, which I have to click to be taken to more pages that show each individual product.
Hi Michelle,
That is a WP e-Commerce configuration on your site – Please have a read of the plugin wiki docs and follow the link to the WP e-Commerce wiki on setting up Product Category Grid View. thank you.
I have gone through the wiki docs and set my settings accordingly, several times, and still can’t figure out what I am doing wrong. I think the problem comes in, during the product category settings, I keep choosing Grid View, and updating, but when I refresh my site, there is no change. I go back to category settings and find it is has reset to back default on its own. Is there support I can hire to help me figure out what is going wrong?
Got it! It seems to have been related to my chosen theme “Clean Retina”. I changed the them and the grid looks great! Thanks!!
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for letting me know.
Hello,
I activated Grid View Lite and now all of my products are squished on the left side of the page. They’re not spaced out evenly. I have no idea why it’s doing this.
Please help.
Thanks
Hello Victoria
These forums are for same day Pro License version support. Please post your support request to the plugins support forum on WordPress and we will help you when time permits. Here is the link. Thank you.
After installing the plug-in the grid view looks great, but it triggers an error within my theme:Warning: shuffle() expects parameter 1 to be array, object given in /home/content/57/10383757/html/wp-content/themes/aventura/wpsc-products_page.php on line 82, which is looking to place a featured item. I have tried all sorts of ways to make a featured item appear, but no luck. I had a programmer look at it today and he couldn’t find a way to deactivate the action. After deleting the plug-in I have to delete the theme and re-install it to clear the pages of this message and picture box…any ideas…..
Hi Blaze,
That error warning is from your theme, when you activate our plugin. That code is called and it has warning so it show on frontend.
You need to update the WPEC code on theme to new version of WPEC plugin that you are using.
Can you walk me through that process?
“You need to update the WPEC code on theme to new version of WPEC plugin that you are using.”
I’m using the AVENTURA Theme from Themeteam.com, purchased through themeforest.net. My only other choice is to do the Gold CArt upgrade, but am afraid it will trigger the same warning…
Hi:
I purchased Grid View Pro, I received a Paypal receipt but have not received a download link. I have checked my spam folders and have no other email beside Paypal receipt. I have also attempted to log in, but the password I used is invalid. I ask for a password reset and am told one is on the way, but it never arrives. I have done this several time with no affect.
Please assist.
Thanks
Hello Mark,
Very please you have finally contacted us – we cannot get any email through to you, even via Gmail – everything just gets bounced back with this error message
That is the reason you have not got the order email. download emails. and cannot do a password recovery – your mail server is blocking everything. Please use the Contact us form to send me an email with another address (perhaps a Gmail address) that will allow me to send forward the emails onto you. Thank you.
Hello I have bought this plugin, and I need the default product page sidebar using this grid view like this http://awesomescreenshot.com/076113ra9b, but I can´t find how to put it. It is currently looking like this http://vitaminas123.com/?wpsc_product_category=quemadores-y-dietas
If I activate the default page product view that sidebar is visible.
Thanks in advance.
Hello Carolina,
My Guess is looking at the link you have provided that there your theme template does not support Content | Sidebar layout in Grid View – but this is something you’d have to check with the theme developer.
Hi , I have purchased the WP e-Commerce Grid View Pro and i received an email but did not get a downloaded link.
Please could you send a link
thanks
Hello Aadam,
The emails where sent to you seconds after the transaction was completed and have not bounced back – which would suggest that they are sitting in your spam folder. You are a Gmail user – please check your spam folder. Thank you.
I have ordered the plugin and haven’t got a download link
Hello Michael,
I have just checked and cannot find any transaction with the email address you posted this comment with. Please email me using the Contact Us page the email you used in the purchase and I’ll have a look for you. Thank you.
Hi, I bought this plugin hoping to display my store page in categories first then all products under that category. I thought all it did was to activate the “Grid View” of wp e-commerce.
(1) Does this plugin do this?
(2) How do I turn off plugin’s CSS so my theme’s CSS will show?
Cheers
Hi Jackie,
WP e-Commerce Grid View Pro is what allows you to activate ‘Grid View’ on the WP e-Commerce plugin. The Pro Version then scales all of your Product Feature images and category images. All of that is done automatically as soon as you activate the plugin, but after that you config your Product pages and category pages using the WP e-Commerce settings. That is why the Grid View plugin does not have any settings.
For assistance with those setting please have a quick read of the plugins wiki. It includes direct links to the appropriate pages on the WP e-Commerce wiki on the getshopped.org website.
As I wrote above WP e-Commerce Grid View has no setting so there is no where to turn off the plugins CSS. If you know CSS use a program like firebug to see the css class elements and then change them to your themes – if it has a class for Gridview – You’ll see them all by just selecting one grid view image. If you don’t know how to do that , and don’t have easy access to a coder who can do it for you – we will do it for you – go here and Book a Service – Choose the Very Small task (really it is) option – complete the transaction and we will do it for you.
I deactivated the license for this Grid View Pro and tried to reactivate it on another domain and it does not seem to be working. Under licenses on the website it shows the new domain but the plugin in my wordpress still says I need to authorize it. I have tried using the authorization key and I also tried the email address as instructed when I initially purchased the product. However, none of them seem to work.
Hello Wendell,
You purchased the WP e-commerce Grid View plugin back in November – on the 1st of January we launched the new a3rev site and License Manager and converted all licenses to it. We did send you an email to explain the changes and the new My Account manager. Please log into your a3rev My Account http://a3rev.com/my-account/
Your username is your email address :
Your password was a WordPress generated password that was in the email sent to you. No problem though – just do a Lost Password request from the My Account sign in.
When logged in and go to the ‘Downloads’ tab -> there you will see your plugins listed by name along with that plugins License key -> the license key is the Activation Key now not your email address.
The license key is a 22 character long unique code. Please copy the license key that you will see under the Plugins name and use it to activate your plugin.
On the ‘My Licenses’ tab after you have activated the plugin you can always see what domain the plugin is currently activated on. If there is nothing there that means it is not currently activated on any domain.
I got that to work. Thank you.
One more thing, I would like to change where it says “Price” both on the product list page and on the landing page to “List Price”.
Can you help me with that?
Hi Wendell,
That has to be filtered through your theme by some who is competent developer. If you have one please ask him to do that for you. if you’d don’t please let me know ad we can do it for you for a small be of USD$12 if that helps?
I would be happy to let you do it. That amount is reasonable. What information do you need from me and how can I pay you?
Hello Wendell,
If you wish to do that firstly log into your a3rev account – then go here – Book a Service . From the Service Type Drop down select – Small task Fixed Price Service $12 – add it to your cart and proceed to the check out and complete the transaction.
Once that is done please set up wp-admin and ftp access accounts for me and email the creds for both using the Contact/Hire Us page. Please include your instructions in that email. Thank you.
Hi,
I am currently using the Lite version of the Grid plugin. The problem is when it is activated it causes the flat rate shipping for individual products to not work. When I put in a Local Shipping Fee amount and update the product it reverts to $0. When I deactivated the Grid Lite plugin it worked fine. Is there a fix for this?
What are the advantages of purchasing the Pro version if I cannot get the free version to work?
Thanks for any help,
Gene
Hello Gene,
Running some tests on that today – to firstly try and replicate it and secondly if we can fix it.
Upgrading to the Pro Version to so the issue you are having is not the answer. Like all of our plugins the Lite and Pro versions are exactly the same plugins – except the Pro version extra features. In the case of WP e-Commerce Grid View the only reason you would upgrade is if you need the Product Page and Product Category Grid View images to be scaled to size to show nicely in the grid.
Will update you here with what we find. Thank you.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I will be awaiting your solution. If it would help, I could create a new temporary username so you could sign in and see it in action.
My version of the Grid plugin is 1.0.2 , and I have the please update WordPress message saying I would be upgrading to 3.5.1 so I am apparently using the version right before that.
Let me know if you need anymore info.
Gene
Hi Gene,
Thanks for the offer – but would also need a temp ftp access to delve in deeper to find the issue. FTP is also essential in-case of a fatal error in testing and fixing – means we can get the site straight back up.
I’ll shot you an email – if you can set me up both that would be a tremendous help in tracking down and fixing the issue for you.
Hi
I just purchased the PRO version but I am not recieving any e-mail with a download link or an authorization key? Not in my spam as well…
Did something went wrong or am I just impatient? I did recieve an email that my account was activiated but no orders showing there as well….
Thanks for getting back to me on this.
Bye,
Marre
Never mind – I was impatient!
Hi!
I am unable to use my authorisation key when I try to install the WP-ecommerse grid view on a new site. I purchased the unlimited edition.
Please help!
Kr/lena
Hello Lena,
You purchased your plugin on the 20th December and paid USD$5 for it. We only launched Mutli Tiered Licenses yesterday the 20th of January 2013. So it is impossible that the License you have is an unlimited license.
On the 2nd of January 2013 we sent all license holders an email explaining that we had launched the new a3rev site and License Manager – you probably did not read it.
The email that was sent to you Lena contained all of the instructions. No problem though – An account has been created for you here on the a3rev site where you can see your new license key and download your plugin. Go to the ‘My Account’ tab on the nav bar above.
Your a3rev account username is the email address you used to register when you purchased the plugin.
The email also contained your a3rev account password. The password is auto generated by WordPress and I don’t know it? Just do a ‘lost password’ (password recovery) on the ‘My Account’ page – you’ll get an email with a link – follow that and enter a new password that you can remember. Then use that and your username (your email address) to log into your a3rev ‘My-Account’.
Once you log into your a3rev account you will see on the ‘Downloads’ tab your new license key and where you can download the current version of the plugin.
Under the “My License ‘ tab you will see the domain that the plugin is currently activated on.
If you wish to upgrade your Single Domain license to a multi license or unlimited you can do that by going to the Grid View Plugin page.
Select the type of license you want to upgrade to – 10 site license $27 or unlimited for $57
Click the upgrade link and you’ll see a box appear – Copy and paste your License key (the new one not the old one) into the box and click Add to cart – you only pay the difference between what you paid for the single license and the price of the upgraded license. example – say you want to upgrade to the 10 site license – $27 – that will be less the $5 you paid – the cart will show the upgrade price is $22 and you will have 10 sites that you can use the Pro Version of the Grid View plugin on instead of 1. Thank you.
Hi there,
I have installed the pro grid version. But i do not see it on my admin panel. What do i do?
Thanks
Cedric
Hello Cedric,
That is right – you won’t – Grid View has no settings – It activates the Grid View feature on WP e-Commerce – once activated you use the WP e-Commerce setting – Please read the plugins wiki document for full instructions. Thank you
Hi, I accidentally deleted LITE version before activating the Pro version. If you take a look at my website, it seems that there is a gap or weird space.
The thumbnail seems to move down.
when i deactivate the grid view pro, everything is fine. When I activating the grid view Pro, the thumbnail move to the bottom of the “supposed to be” place.
Hello Jeremy,
The Grid View Pro and Grid View Lite are exactly the same plugin – just the Pro has image scaling activated. When you install the Pro you need to go to your Settings > Store > Presentation tab and first of activate ‘Grid View’ then set all of the Grid View settings. You can read all about how to do that on the plugins wiki. – See here.
NVM, got it working.
Hi Jeremy – thanks for letting me know. Good luck with your site.
Hi Steve, I have 1 problem with the grid view.
If you take a look at my website, I need a spacing between the thumbnail. How do I do that ?
Nevermind, I fixed it again.
Why i m i not seeing the WP e-Commerce Grid View PRO version in the “plugins” add new? The video would have been great if it would have shown up in my “Plugins”.
Hi Jason,
I’m assuming you are saying that you do not have your email with download links – as you are a gmail user please check your spam folder – both the purchase receipt and download email will be in there.
Yes, it was in my Gmail Spam account, i have down loaded it and now it is saying that the Authorization Key is not Right?
Never mind, I took longer look at the emailed sent with the first Authorization Key code and seen down at the bottom that there was another Authoization code? My email address? Weird. and Thanks I guess.
Hi Jason,
Thank you for the running commentary – good to see you got it all sorted before I could get to you.
the plugin is not working for me?? it is not activating the grid view option. thanks!
Hello Keith,
The plugin is currently providing the Grid view feature on over 7,000 We e-Commerce sites – why would your install be any different?
WP e-Commerce Grid View activates the Grid View Feature on the WP e-Commerce plugin – but it don’t work until you use the WP e-Commerce setting to select and configure Grid View – please look at the plugins wiki docs for detailed instructions on how to activate and configure ‘Grid View’ on WP e-Commerce.
thanks for the reply. i’m sure i’m doing something wrong on my end, just not sure what. i followed those instructions. after installation and activation of the plugin, when i go to settings, store, presentation, the default view is available but the list view and grid view are still greyed out
aha! i haven’t activated any licenses. where do i do that?
Hi Keith,
Click the ‘Activation Key’ link that you will see under the plugins name and description on the wp-admin plugins page.
Authorization Key or Purchase one now… Hello, PLEASE, where i can find our paid key?
Hello Damian,
Your Authorization key was in the download email that was sent to you on the 3rd of November when you purchased this plugin. I’ve emailed it to you again.
Hi,
I have lost my authorisation key for WP e-Commerce Grid View PRO
Hi Sean,
Sent it to you gain by email
Hi Steve,
another questions/requests
can you add more options for this plugin for changing its color, f.e : button color, product border color and size, text color and align, pagination color, etc. just playing with color. if you can add more, text size maybe comes handy too..
this will give people more option in making the grid view match with their theme (I believe, not every people use blue theme, some maybe want white button, black button, etc).
of course I can change this manually by going through css (and I AM do this on my sites), but I think it’s kinda nice if this can be added in Pro Version too, less work for me and of course for them who unfamiliar with changing css.
thanks,
Hi Andrew,
Thank you for taking the time to comment on this – your feedback is appreciated.
Sure we can add all of those – the only reason that we have it is that no one has ever requested it.
When we built Grid View we purposely built it so that it just activated the ‘Grid view’ feature and auto scales the images in the Pro Version without any settings of its own, just utilizing all of the wpec settings – My thinking was that the whole wpec UI in this regard is confusing enough without us adding another layer to it.
But I understand what you are saying and its a good point – will put your suggestions on the plugins dev roadmap and look it it in the next upgrade. Thanks again.
hello, just wanna ask bout license. the license said it’s for single domain, is that mean I can put it on sub-domain wordpress ?, say, I have multi stores, but all of that stores built in sub-domain. should I get one license each, or one is enough ? (since it said ONE DOMAIN, not one wordpress installation)
btw, each of the store use single sub-domain wp installation (there’s a reason why I didnt use wp multi for this site anyway)
thanks for answering
Hi Andrew,
Yes you can install and activate it on a sub domain, local and root url – as many as you like – but only activated on one at any time. Our plugin Pro Licenses don’t support Multi-site. Thanks
Hi Steve,
Im’ sorry, but I didn’t really get the word “but only activated on one at any time”, is that mean only one sub-domain can use it properly (activated) while others turned off. or I can activate the plugin on all sub-domain at the same time ?, sorry, for troubling you, English is my second language ..
Thanks and regards
Dear Steve,
I use the Pro version of your plugin.
I am having trouble to make it adjust to a different product content size:
instead of 650px it is 750px.
I have changed it in the CSS under the widht section,the new grid space is bigger,but the products are just using 650px leaving the rest of the space unused.
How can I fix this?
Thanks
Hello Francesco,
I think you are referring to the actual single_product page image? Grid View has nothing to do with the single_product page image. If you have not already done so please take a look at the plugins docs http://docs.a3rev.com/user-guides/wp-e-commerce/wpec-grid-view/
Grid View Pro scales your featured product images to fit perfectly inside the thumbnail container size you set from the Store > Presentation tab. Regardless of what size or dimension the product image is it will always fit perfectly inside that container – scaled to proportion so the image does not distort.
Dear Steve,
I like the grid view very much, and I like the options for including (or not) description and buttons and so on on the grid view page. However, I don’t see the option to show stock availability on the grid view. On our website we have only one of each product, and after selling we do not want to delete it from the website immediately (so stock is always 1 or 0).
Is there a way to include stock information (or just ‘SOLD’ if stock = 0) on the grid view page?
Thanks
Hi Erwin,
Your question is not related to the grid view plugin. The only reason to upgrade to the Pro Version is for the image scaling feature (and who doesn’t want nicely scaled images?).
You set Sock Availability to show on your WP e-Commerce Store > Presentation Tab. See image
Is there a way to include stock information (or just ‘SOLD’ if stock = 0)
You just need to get a developer to code this feature into your theme. When stock goes to 0 then it triggers a “Sold Out’ notice shows either on the Single Product page or on the image. When stock level is chnage to anything other than “0″ the notice auto disappears.
Thank you very much for your reply. I knew about the presentation tab, but that only shows stock availability on the single product page. I have been looking for the code that includes it in the single product page, to copy it to the products page, but I can’t find it. That’s why I thought, maybe there is some way to include it in the grid view, and I posted the comment in here.
Anyway, thanks again for the reply. I will go on finding a solution
HI
I’m a newbie so go easy on me. I have the WP e-Commerce Grid View LITE plug in. Here is my issue; I have my products in categories and some of them are in grid view and some of them are not! Any ideas of why this is happening?
Hi Angela,
You’ll have to give me more information for me to be able to help you. Some links to see the problem you are having would be a good start.
Steve
I fixed it! Thanks! I just had to go under my categories and added grid view there!!
Hi Steve,
For some reason the thumbnails which show on the grid are not scaling properly – they are being cropped to a square (144×144). The image on the single product page displays just fine.
Under Thumbnail Settings in wp-admin I have the following:
Default Product Thumbnail Size: 148×148
Default Product Group Thumbnail Size: 148×148
Single Product Image Size: 148×148
Crop Thumbnails: No
Any ideas?
Hi David,
WP E-Commerce Grid View does not crop images – it scales them to show centered in proportion inside the thumbnail frame size you have set – also Grid View has nothing to do with single product page images.
From what you have posted your settings look right – I’ve had a look at your site where you have the plugin activated but I don’t see WPEC or the Gridview plugin there so its difficult for me to help.
I’ll send you an email and if you can’t sort it by checking the settings again – get you to give me temp access so I can get it sorted for you. Thanks.
Hi Steve,
I sent an e-mail to the admin@ e-mail address you sent me last Friday. Did you receive that e-mail, and have you had a chance to take a look at what I sent?
Thanks.
David
Hi David,
Had a look but can’t see why. As I said last week – happy to look at it and fix whatever the problem is if you give me wp_admin access – If you don’t I am unable to help you.
Hi David,
Thank you for the wp_admin access – it is impossible to sort out your issue without it – and we have wasted a lot of time trying because:
There is no issue with the plugin – you had not activated Grid View for that category whilst you had for the rest – see image below. I’ve change it and it works fine now. Please be sure to delete the wp user account that you set up for me. Thanks
Steve,
First – thanks much for sorting this out for me.
Second – I wasn’t aware of any “Grid View” options on the product categories. When I installed your plugin I read through the readme file and didn’t see any mention of the need to adjust settings on product categories. Then, I went to the a3rev wiki per the readme, but as you know there is no documentation there yet, so how would I have known?
Third – All of the other “Catalog View” settings have a value of “Please select”, so unless you reset all of those to “Please select”, that’s the way they’ve been since I first installed the plugin – in other words, I didn’t modify any of them because I didn’t even know they were there.
Fourth – thanks for creating this much needed plugin!

Hi David,
WP Grid View does not add any settings – all the setting you refer to are native WP e-Commerce plugin settings. What Grid View does is activate the Grid View feature.
You will find the WP e-Commerce documentation here to help you with your WP e-Commerce Store set up.
Hello,
I just purchased the Grid View Pro plugin. After downloading to my local computer, I installed it directly from the zip file via Plugins > Add New in wp-admin (Upload option). Then, I activated the plugin. I now see an “Authorization Key or Purchase one now” message on the Plugins page. When I click the link for “Authorization Key” and enter the key sent to me via e-mail, I see this message “This Authorization Key is not valid”. I’ve double-checked the Key, copy/pasted it directly from the e-mail you sent me, so I know it’s correct.
My receipt number is 4227-4785-6546-5587.
FYI, I also purchased the “Dynamic Gallery Plugin Pro” (which I haven’t installed yet) – might I have the same problem with this plugin?
One more thing – I currently have the Gold Cart plugin installed for WP e-Commerce. Do I need to deactivate and/or de-install that plugin in order for Grid View Pro to work properly, or does Gold Cart need to be installed and activated for Grid View Pro to work properly?
Thanks.
David
Hello David,
Please confirm that you are trying to activate the plugin with your authorization code and not your session key.
The session key is a big long meaningless number while the authorization code is something you can remember.
Yes you should deactivate Gold Cart before you activate Grid View.
Hi Steve,
Yup, that was it. Thanks for your help.

With grid view disabled, when I click on the image it shows a larger image to see, but with grid view, when I click on the image, it takes me to the product page. Is there a way to have clicking on the image to result in showing the larger image? Or which file actually controls this and I can probably figure it out.
Hello, I have a twenty-eleven site with e-commerce + grid view where my fixed sidebar is visible everywhere throughout the site apart from the category page http://lakasmuhely.hu/products-page/puhatalpu-cipok/
is this intentional or a bug?
Thanks for the info in advance,
Julia
Hi Julia,
Just a question? If you deactivate Grid View does the Sidebar then show on that category page? http://lakasmuhely.hu/products-page/puhatalpu-cipok/
Can you try it if you have not already and let me know – thanks
Hi Julia,
Please check I don’t see any sidebar activated for that page? Can see the secondary sidebar is activated for the others that it is showing on – but none for that page where the product category grid view products are showing.
OK loving the plugin, works a treat under chrome and firefox.
BUT, it does not seem to display correctly under I.E. 9.
Sometimes it does, other times I get the default view only.
It will work for a short time if I clear the history.
Ive tested on a couple of mahcines and same issue.
Any Ideas?
Ive upgraded to the pro version, and all the layout seems to have gone, instead of having 4 products across, there all in a vertical line, plus all the nice buttons have gone. I’ve tried de-activating and re-activating but no effect, any tips greatly appreciated
Hi Aaron,
After you upgrade you have to go to your Store > Presentation Tab and re-select Grid view and do the settings and save.
Hi there, great product thanks very much! Made my site look so much more professional!
Just thought i would add a quick note for those who are having trouble getting the products to view in grid layout. If you have put your products into categories, make sure you have ‘grid view’ selected under the category preferences as well, otherwise wp-ecommerce will still display the default layout.
Anyway hope that helps.
Thanks Roxanne
Hi Roxanne,
Thanks for the feedback ” Made my site look so much more professional!”
That is what we love to do with our plugins – make our clients sites look more professional.
That is why we have been focusing our development work lately on plugins that give websites that wow factor – ex Grid View, Dynamic Gallery, Predictive Search are the most recent.
Also thanks very much for the helpful user tip. Much appreciated.
This plug-in worked great, until now when I just update WP e-Commerce to Version 3.8.8.5. I double checked all my settings, and WPEC is still using the default setting, rather then the Grid setting. Does this plug-in need to be updated?
Also, for a later time, images still seem to be cropped rather then scaled in Gallery view? Is there a way not for this to happen? Again have checked WPEC settings, but is not working right yet. Thanks.
Hi Tom,
Nope – works fine with Version 3.8.8.5 – using that version on here and in our test sites.
No images don’t need to be cropped they are auto scaled to the size you set in your thumbnail settings- in fact you should have cropped images set to NO – here is a link to the Thumbnail setting used on a3rev.com so you can compare them to yours http://cl.ly/image/1w1Z0b263q1R
Wow, its a great plugin, and its free, i like it
I’ll try it in my client site..
thank you for sharing
Thanks Anton – Do me a favour – if you haven’t already – love it on WordPress with a 5 star rating.
I’m having the same problem as Debbie was having. WP e-Commerce Grid View is installed and activated, checked this multiple times to be certain. I am using another shopping cart plug-in, WP Simple Paypal Shopping cart, and I thought maybe it was interfering with the activation of WP e-Commerce Grid View, so I deactivated WP Simple Paypal Shopping cart and then tried WP e-Commerce Grid View, but still would not display the “shop” tab under “settings”… any suggestions?
You state in your reply to Debbie “WP e-Commerce Grid View activates the Product Page ‘grid View’ feature on the WP e-Commerce plugin”… does this mean there is a separate plug-in that I need to install so that the grid view will work?
Thanks
Bill
Hi Bill,
Yes – WP e-Commerce Grid View activates Product Page Grid view feature for the WP e-Commerce plugin. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-e-commerce/
If you are not using the WP e-Commerce plugin as your e-commerce solution – WP e-Commerce Grid View cannot work.
Ok, I had the same problem with stuff going into spam with my gmail account… but now I can’t find the settings tab for this plugin… All there is is a general settings tab.. but I can’t find anything that says ‘store’ …. Is it mandatory to use the ‘twentyten’ theme to have this option? I was watching the video demo and it said something about twentyten… :-/
Hi Debbie,
but now I can’t find the settings tab for this plugin… All there is is a general settings tab.. but I can’t find anything that says ‘store’
Screen shot from the Demo Video
If you can’t see ‘Store’ (like the video screenshot shows) in your WordPress dashboard settings you’d don’t have WP e-Commerce installed or activated.
Is it mandatory to use the ‘twentyten’ theme to have this option? I was watching the video demo and it said something about twentyten
Twenty Ten is the default WordPress Theme that every WordPress instillation is activated with, therefore it is common to every WordPress instillation until another theme is installed and activated. If you look in Appearance > Themes on the dashboard of your site you’ll see it there.
But No – the plugin does not only work with Twenty Ten – It is mandatory however that you have the WP e-Commerce plugin installed and activated on the theme you are using. WP e-Commerce Grid View activates the Product Page ‘grid View’ feature on the WP e-Commerce plugin, and works with any theme (or on all of the ones we have tested it on).
Hi
i just purchased WPEC grid view, but i cant figure out how to activate the full version, all i can find is the lite version. How do i get the full version?
Kind regards
Kenneth
Hi Kenneth,
Yes if you are a gmail user always best to check your spam folder. And be sure to mark us as a safe sender for future plugin updates.
“Hi A3
Please disregard my message. You’re email went straight in my spam box.
It has been sorted out now.
Kind Regards
Kenneth”
I purchased this today at 12:57 GMT, I got the PayPal receipt but no purchase confirmation email. Could you re-issue the email please as there is nothing in my spam folder.
Hi Terry,
There is no record of the email address you are using having purchased the WP e-Commerce Grid View plugin – did you use a different email address and name?
Hi Terry again,
Sorry if you did purchase using other credentials please email me the purchase receipt. Thanks
Yes I used another email address which you will see attached to this comment
Transaction id 0SV17270E45825224
Hi Terry,
Yes thanks I can see that now. I see where the download link email was sent to this email address – you must have a very strong spam filter – have sent you an email direct from the address that the download email comes from to see if you get it. Please reply to that email directly.
The email came through now (dated yesterday) Not sure how that came to pass but I have the plugin downloaded now, thank you.
Terry
