Launching 3.7.6

Hello you!

The WP e-Commerce Plugin has come a long way in the last 6 years, and we hope to keep it going for years to come. The new shiny 3.7.6 version fixes a number of bugs and introduces you to a few new features and enhancements.

Amazing New Features

1. A new GetShopped News Section on the Sales page – Stay tuned on this one, as we will be using this for some promotions you will NOT want to miss.
2. New Pagination Implementation by our friend in the UK Ben Huson.
3. As I mentioned in the bug fixes the Settings>Checkout page has a snazzy new interface we have been working on, which allows drag and drop ordering, and unique name association, very very cool!
4. The Marketing Page has had some presentation changes made to it, to make it more streamlines with the WordPress interface.

Fantastical Bug Fixes

1. Shipping same as Billing – This is a cool feature that has been available for a while. Problem was some people skipped and/or disassociated their checkout form fields unique names that linked Billing and shipping details. So now in 3.7.6 not only can you drag and drop your checkout form fields in the Settings>checkout page, you can also make sure their unique names match up! We also did some bug fixes where Shipping calculations were not being re-calculated is ‘shipping same as billing’ was checked.
2. Tax Calculations – back in 3.7.5.3 and lower Tax was calculated per-item and disregarded discounts and coupons. Now if a coupon is used tax calculates based on the subtotal-discount.
3. Themes have had a reasonable amount of changes to them, the biggest change is moving from the constants (WPSC_TXT_PRICE) to the new gettext method i.e _e(‘Price’,'wpsc’)
   you may need to change the version numbers in your css file and port your changes into the new themes if you want to make sure you take advantage of the new version. Apart from that fairly BIG change we also added in some minor CSS enhancements.
4. Google Checkout – There was a bug not too long ago that caused google checkout to send only the first shipping quote on the list and not the selected shipping quote. This has been resolved.
5. Paypal Express – If you were using thematic and Paypal Express there was an issue where you would receive an error similar to: ‘Set Express version is invalid’ this was due to a global variable $version being used by both parties (paypal Express and Thematic) we modifies paypal express so this error does not happen…
6. AIOSEO canonical url fix by the amazing Lee Willis (have you checkout out his wp-e-commerce dashboard widget plugin yet?)
7. A new Display style option in the Settings>presentation page called Drag & Drop now allows you to drag and order your product list straight from the edit products page!

In Conclusion / Other news

Folks this has been a long time in the waiting. The Instinct Team coupled with the help of our core contributors have spent literally thousands of hours on this baby and we’re getting closer & closer to what we believe is the ultimate e-Commerce solution for WordPress.

Last night it was brought to our attention that the WP e-Commerce Plugin is now a featured WordPress Plugin and we’ve made it to page 2 of the Most Popular WordPress Plugins. Coupled with the downloads from our own website (before we hosted WP e-Commerce on WordPress extend) we will shortly reach the One Million downloads mark – and when that happens I’ll let you know.

And finally the WP e-Commerce Plugin is powering the beautiful new San Francisco WordCamp website for the ticketing. The CSS and theme for San Fran WordCamp was put together by our long term mate and friend Ian Stewart from Automattic and ThemeShaper who passed on the the following message “wp e-commerce shortcodes FTW, BTW”.

Please remember to do the right thing, and backup your files and Database! Oh and deactivate and reactivate the plugin I believe there might be some DB changes
