Special Page Creation

Last updated on Friday, June 10th, 2011

When first activated, eShop creates the following WordPress Pages:

  • Shopping Cart
  • Checkout
  • Thank You for your order
  • Cancelled Order
  • Shipping Rates
  • Downloads

If you do not need all of these Pages (e.g. you will not be offering any downloads), edit the relevant Page and set its status to “Draft”.

Do NOT set any of these Pages as your static front page or main Posts page in WordPress’ Settings → Reading.

Re-creating Special Pages

If you accidentally delete any of the Pages, you will need to create and publish new versions. In each case, you will need to add the relevant eShop shortcode to the content area of the Page:

  • Shopping Cart: [eshop_show_cart]
  • Checkout: [eshop_show_checkout]
  • Thank You for your order: [eshop_show_success]
  • Cancelled Order: [eshop_show_cancel]
  • Shipping Rates: [eshop_show_shipping]
  • Downloads: [eshop_show_downloads]

Make a note of the id of each Page. The Page ids will then need to be added to the Automatically created pages tab in Settings → eShop → Special Pages.
